They arrived the day after the Hamer grandparents left, and spent Samuel's 1-week birthday with us. They were anxious to meet their second grandchild (first grandson). Sam joins one Newton cousin, Anna.
On Thanksgiving Day we drove up to Ben's grandparents' home in Limerick (1 hr. from here). Sam is their second great-grandchild...
Four generations of Newton men:
We all then had a beautiful dinner over at Aunt Jackie's house (with Uncle Terry and cousins David, Dustin, Leena and her husband Dan). Aunt Janice even came from Toronto! This was a special time for the Newton great-grandparents to have three of their four kids together.
Anna has already dubbed mom and dad Newton as "Mum" (the English version of "mom") and "Pops", so we're calling them that too.
Sam enjoyed lots of cuddling from each of them!
Uncle Pete was a little hesitant to hold such a little guy, but he got the hang of it and did a great job!
Mum and Mama out for a walk on a sunny November day...
FYI- the adorable pumpkin hat is a gift to Samuel from mama's friend Gretta. (Thanks, Gretta, we love it!)

Linds--It has been strongly recommended that I carry Eloisa around in a baby sling 24/7 for the first few weeks until she has my scent, voice, etc. and forms the attachment. Where did you get yours? Do you recommend it? Cute pictures of Sam. Such a sweetie! Bekah
Whoa! I am spending too much time on your blog, but I just discovered it today and am so excited. How funny - I found the hat first, then the note. Glad he could wear it for a bit. I suppose their heads grow fast! gretta
