Welcome Home Sorley

Just got back in from seeing our new nephew, Sorley for the first time. My brother and sister-in-law's first child and he is a stunning wee chap indeed. Mum and baby are doing well and glad to be home. l am a very proud auntie once again and G. the proud uncle.

My brother's blog and birth announcement here.

My sister-in-law kept a pregnancy diary here.

Congratulations M & J!

And just for Sorley here is a snatch of a favourite Carol for this time of the year . . . .

'In the Bleak Midwinter' - words by Christina Rossetti.

Played by my hubby.

In the bleak midwinter

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,

Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;

Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,

In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain;

Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.

In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed

The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.

What can I give Him, poor as I am?

If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;

If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;

Yet what I can I give Him: give my heart.
