Young builders

Immy and Ethan have been busy creating buildings during Auckland's winter days with giant Lego blocks from the Library - each one of their creations is dedicated to a friend or family. The one below is for us. Who does the design and engineering?.

For GRANDPA and MIM

********

Ethan, Immy and Daniel (in Auckland) have 8 grand parents in total (4 blood and 4 step) and of course they are very spread out - 4 in Northern Ireland, 2 in England and of course us in Australia. I can remember clearly when we were in Bristol after Ethan was born, being asked "what would you like Ethan to call you"? Ah, I thought, how sensible, Sarah and Ian are going to head off any "name confusion" for this little one from the start. Mine was easy - I went with Mim, as that is what my Mum's 3 grandchildren called her - not sure if Mum could face up to being called a Grandparent by name at the time the first one was born, and her proposal of Mim was her cheeky way out of it, - Mum was a funny duck in her younger days, so why not follow!!.
