...and two very beautiful sons.
I'm now grandparent to a perfect little Canuck.

Some files are treated specially: on the whole, pictures will be displayed as pictures (jpg, gif and png formats), audio will be played as audio (mp3 and a few other formats) and video will be shown as video (various formats). It is thus a way to build picture galleries, podcasts and vodcasts.
You can upload multiple files and even upload zip files, that will be extracted on this site into their individual components.

I am very happy for you Dr Dron! You look *so* pleased.
Congratulations!
S.
Thanks Simon - I could not be more pleased!
What did your son name his baby?
Jasper
Oh, that is a nice name.
Welcome Jasper!!
We are thrilled to hear of your safe arrival. Congrats to your Mom and Dad. And even your Grandad and Kess!
We are thrilled to have another Dron on the planet!
Terry and Susan
Jasper would like to say thanks, Terry, though, disappointingly, he doesn't yet have the typing skills (but he does have the most beautiful, perfect little fingers), so I thank you and Susan on his behalf! And thanks Simon - yes, we're pleased and can't wait to take him to 'his' national park and town.
Congratulations!
Your face (smile) says it all Dr. Dron. Congratulations and I hope everyone is doing well.
Thanks Mary and Mike - yes, indeed, every time I see him I smile or cry or both. Still feel the same way about his father, as it happens. Both parents still shattered and shell-shocked but utterly joyful. They only moved into their new home a couple of weeks ago so I cannot begin to imagine the stress (both positive and not so much) but we are only a couple of blocks away and doing our best to help, whether they want it or not!
Jon,
Congratulations to you and all the Drons.
You face does say it all.
And there is no time to waste getting those perfect little fingers to learn to type.
Cheers.
Congratulations, that is a wonderful photo!
Wow how very exciting Jon - Best wishes to your family and a special welcome to young Jasper - What a wonderful gift - Aren't we the lucky ones!
Thanks Gerald, Louis, and Stu! Yes, so lucky.
Oh my gosh Jon, congratulations to the entire family, beautiful!
Shauna
Proud grandfather I can tell ;) A quick time travel in the past isn't it? Congratulations and all the best!
Thanks Viorel, thanks Shauna!
Indeed, it all comes flooding back. Amongst other things, I had almost forgotten how, as a new parent, so much of your world revolves around the quality and frequency of your baby's poops :-). I must say that these two are so much readier and more capable than we ever were, but I don't think any parent can be fully prepared for the seismic upheaval it brings to everything. So nice as a grandparent to just get the good bits and not have to deal with that again.
For sure! It seems more these days than when I was a kid that kids really enjoy spending time with their grandparents. My kids see their grandparents as buddies, they call my mother-in-law to come over and tell them jokes at bed time just when I am trying to shut the house down for the night! You will have fun!
Shauna
I sure hope so, Shauna! Sometimes, when my kids were being difficult, I used to console myself with the thought that, one day, they would have children of their own, and I would be the grandparent that spoiled them rotten. My hour has come around at last :-)
Just found this post - congratulations! It's so much more fun being a grandparent - and your face shows that you'll enjoy it immensely. Such a great adventure.
Thanks Mary - yes, I am loving it!
