Anna's Second Baby Cousin Arrives!

Anna has another cousin! After a long wait, Baby Gibson was born on the 2nd July to proud parents, Matthew and Ulriikka.

Unfortunately, it feels like she is a million miles away in Finland and, when a baby is as gorgeous as Baby Gibson is (All Baby Gibson's are gorgeous!!), the desire for a cuddle is even stronger than normal!

Luckily, we have been sent lots of photo's and even saw her alive and kicking for an hour and a half on Skype as Matthew held her up to the camera and got arm ache, just so I could get an amazing view and gaze at her for the whole time!! Anna took one look at the photo's and said 'She is so beautiful'. You could argue that she was being biased, being her cousin and all, but I think Anna is also very honest (Too honest sometimes, especially when commentating on my fashion sense) and Anna obviously has good eye for this type of thing!!!

Whenever we talk about Baby Gibson now, Anna keeps saying 'What's her name? I need a cousin with name" but, as is tradition in Finland, we don't get to know that until the 'naming ceremony'. Fortunately, we don't have much longer to wait as it happens on the 6th August. James is going on his hols to Finland so that he can attend whilst I, unfortunately have to stay here. (Cue more tears and frustration). Anna did have the option of going but James thought that Anna's over-excitement at the prospect seeing her Auntie Ulriikka and her many necklaces (and uncle Matthew of course)/going on an aeroplane/airport luggage trollies to push around/going to Finland/meeting her new cousin/escaping from her mother for a couple of days would be far too much to handle and was a two-parent procedure! Has James got no sense of dangerous adventure??

So, along with Isla, Anna finally has a second cousin and what gorgeous addition to the family she is!! We hope to see lots of her, even if it means becoming frequent flyer's to Finland

Huge congratulations to Matthew and Ulriikka (Not that they will ever have time to read this ever again!)

(I didn't want to put a photograph of Baby Gibson without Matthew and Ulriikka's permission but, trust me, she is stunning!!!)
