My little granddaughter Emily. Her Daddy's photographs, and Brandy's FTDO ... wonderful combination Thanks Brandy for this great collection

Got an email from my daughter one day a few weeks ago with some photos of Emily lying sideways across her cot, with the comment, "I didn't put her down this way!!" Very soon afterwards I got some more showing Emily upside down, and confirming she was most definitely on the move ... even if it was while no one was looking!!

With the recent wedding of our DS2, that's all our children married now. This layout shows one similar photo from each wedding. Quote: Sometimes life offers moments of absolute perfection and wraps us in heavenly dust. Beautiful! The quote was part of the calendar and I cut out the duplications for use on this occasion. TFL.

The new parents enjoying the sunshine in the garden with Emily on a lovely Spring morning in February, just a couple of weeks after her birth. In the layout Emily is with her parents together in the centre, then separately, and then with grandparents from both sides. Children are a blessing from the Lord.
