Happy Birthday Eryn and Bethany

On 27th March 2003, our first grandchild, Eryn Elizabeth Hedges was born. What a tiny scrap she was at 2,7kg. A beautiful baby then and a beautiful little girl today. Eryn has the sweetest nature, loving and lovable, is totally unselfish and a diplomat to boot. Today at eight years old Eryn, is a bright young girl who loves the Lord with a faith stronger than many an adult.

In 2005, the gold mine I worked for in West Africa, flew our family to Guinea for a visit. Eryn, at only 18 months, accompanied her mom and dad and they all spent a week on the camp with us.

You can read more about our gorgeous children - I'm not biased, am I? - here

Eryn was 18 months old when she and her parents visited us in Guinea, West Africa in 2005

Because John and Debbie were watching birds in the bush beyond my garden, Eryn wanted to join in. I gave her a small pair binoculars which she turned around viewing the world from the outside in!

On 27 March, 2009, Eryn received the best (her words) birthday present when her baby sister, Bethany Grace Hedges,  arrived on the same day

Bethany Grace Hedges, two years old today.  Since birth she's attended home school with her older siblings, so she'll probably be a professor by the time she is eight!  
A beautiful, confident and happy little girl

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERYN AND BETHANY

By the time this post is aired, we'll be on our way to Nairobi. Grant has monthly meetings to attend; I need a haircut and we all need groceries!

    Heelo Jo, called by from OSC place. Taking a supermarket trolley to collect a baby from hospital? Priceless.

    Oh, what a proud Granny you are, and justly so. Your little granddaughters are too gorgeous.

    Hope you have a very successful trip into the city! See you when you get back to the camp ;)
