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.

What a lovely little blessing! And just in time for Christmas! Sorley sounds like a very Scottish name (I'm writing this in a Scottish accent:)
Congrats to the happy parents and Aunty!
