Although our girls don't get to see their grandparents as frequently as most children, they have several periods of intensive contact during the year both in their own home when their grandparents visit and when we come to the UK for our annual summer holiday. Needless to say, the time that they do spend with them is joy filled and memorable. They love them all for different reasons. They love Nanny Pat for her tireless patience and the great cardigans that she makes and Grandad Don for his comfy cuddles. They love Grandma Joan for taking them walking and letting them loose on her garden and they love Grandad Michael for his silly songs.
It's a pleasure to see them amongst their cousins and they are fortunate enough to have a total of 12 ranging in age from 18 months to 31 years!
We feel that it's important that Rosie and Emily know their where their roots lie and that they remain an important part of their extended families regardless of geography. We're therefore hoping that since we'll be living a lot closer to home than we have been come September, we'll have a lot more visitors and our families and friends can have a small taste of how we live and the girls can delight in sharing a little bit of their world too.
