cool pic.... this may sound odd to read but she looks like a wise child - some look in the eyes.

Great photo. What a beautiful, lovely child.

She is precious...What a wonderful blessing before us.

How fortunate you are to be so blessed.

I always find it a little bit humbling when the next generation is introduced to their heritage. Heritage is a fragile thing and all it takes is one generation to be too busy or not take an interest and the links are lost. So often we hear of members trying to trace their history in vain.

Well done to you, Gael Ridire and good luck in life to Rowan.

Regards

Chas

Rowan is waving at us. Sweet girl.

Not odd at all my fellow Xmarker. Thanks for the wonderful comments to all! It is a slow going in trying to get my children their own kilts & such. Finally have gotten all the men ties, and sashes for all the women (except Rowan, tried but they are back ordered). So everyone wore them at church, and a few commented that it must be a special day because we all were in our tartan. The sashes aren't worn the right way, but hay at least they wore it.
