OLIVER 28 April 1996

Number One grandson was born 15 years ago today; can it really be that long ago?
I remember as if it was yesterday when our daughter rang me in my office saying “ Are you sitting down Mum? I have some thing to tell you………….
I’m pregnant and it’s twins!” Wow. wow. wow.
Needless to say little work got done that day and I just wanted to see her and give her a big hug.
Sadly, one twin did not make it but our Olli has more than made up for it over the years. A stunning blue eyed blond baby admired by many he was the love of my life.
An old soul with whom I immediately bonded as soon as I held him in my arms.
A couple of early photos which are on my computer as, of course, he was born long before digi cameras and computers were the norm.
What a wonderful outfit. So much nicer than a babygrow although probably not as comfortable.

Not the best photo but one of my favourites taken at Disneyland in October 1996 with Granny Pam feeding him an icecream.
