It's Friday, the day we join in with Annie, over at A Stitch In Time, to share whatever has made us smile this week. Clearly, I'm late again this week ... what am I saying, I didn't even participate last week but with good reason. I had toothache, actually really excruciating toothache that started on Friday last week, lasted all weekend and drove me to the dentist Monday morning. Only to discover that I've been grinding my teeth in my sleep and only managed to damage the one with the root filling, causing a hairline crack. A bit of emergency filing down of the tooth followed. It got worse before it got better but it's on the mend and since then there has been lots to smile about.
Firstly there's my newest baby great-grandson.
Here is the new family all together - gladdens my heart to see them so happy.
Next - my great-granddaughter, Rhian, 'graduated' from nursery school today.
Doesn't she look super cute in her robe and mortar board. Love that smile.
Out of all the photos taken of the occasion this has got to be my favourite ... it speaks volumes :)
It was also my youngest granddaughter's last day at Primary school today and it's her 12th birthday tomorrow. This is the selfie she posted to mark the occasion.
It seems like it was only yesterday Shari was at nursery school too, being taught by the same teacher being hugged by Rhian in the photo above. Shari looks so grown up. And, I'm just a tad envious of that red lipstick ... I would have loved to be able to wear that colour but sadly I have the wrong complexion.
No joke for you this week but I'll leave you with this, I think it's something that most crafters can identify with.
Have a great weekend.

Hi Elizabeth. Sorry to hear about your tiresome tooth...nothing worse is there? It does look as though you've had lots to take your mind off the pain to make you smile though. It's a gorgeous photo of you with your new little family member....they bring us such joy don't they? Huge congrats to the happy family.

Here in the States, we USED to "graduate" at the end of high school. Now it seems, like your photos confirm, there are lots of graduations. How wonderful that you shared this special event.
Of course, all your family looks healthy and enjoying life. I hope this continues forever! Happy Friday and weekend, too.
a beautiful new baby, how cute and what a big smile on your other graddaughters faces
