How wonderful for you Margaret! Nothing nicer than a new born baby to fuss over! May Christmas be a time of peace, good cheer and lots of family loving to dull the pain of this year. Ruby-May... I really love the name!

This is Ruby-May ( 24 hours old ) and proud Daddy.
Graeme...the kids liked Ruby and May is called after my Mum ( who passed away the day after my daughter-in-law had her first scan and found out it was a baby girl )
Croucher is of Normandic derivation meaning bearer of the Cross. A Croucher carried the cross into battle. Ironic that my maiden name is Kirk " dweller by the Cross". Scottish in derivation but rumour has it that the Kirks were kicked out of Scotland for sheep stealing and went over to Ireland with King Billy in 1690.....the rest is history

My parents were from Belfast and the only ones to immigrate so all the family is still over there. I never have to worry about accommodation when I visit.

I am looking forward to enjoying a little girl ....quite a change after having 2 boys !
Thank you all for your kind wishes.
To all the Mums....notice they still have the same bunny rugs as we had for our kids..........31 years ago !
