A bit late I know but today I wanted to share with you a photo of the latest member of our family, our great-nephew, Elf (aka Aaron) pictured here at 17 weeks. Its hard to tell looking at this picture but he has the most cute little pixie ears hence the nickname.
And just so he doesn't feel left out here's a picture of his big brother taken just after his third birthday ......

Hi Tracy, what gorgeous little boys and I love their nicknames. Niblings is a great name for nieces and nephews. I must remember it next time I see mine.
They are both cuties!
Aw lovely pictures Tracy, thanks for sharing them!
Both real cuties...and I'm happy to see them in your updated sidebar now.
Niblings - I love that!! I guess my niblings' children would be considered great-niblings.
Aww...such handsome little guys! ^-^
Great pics and great info. I didn't know it applied to both sexes!
Congraties!
So cute, love their names - Elf and little plum! I also sense some kind of mischief in the eye of the elder!
Very cute pictures Tracy. The family must be so happy.
Interesting history behind the word nephew!
Great photos Tracy and congratulations on the birth of your great nephew.
Also, thanks for the good wishes and visit to my blog.
I'm doing well and had a good report from my oncologist last week.
Sincerely,
Mike
PS Please visit my blog again, soon.
Darling photos! I never heard of the word niblings before--and neither did my spell check!
Awww such sweet and precious little boys! Your nephews are adorable. Hope all is well your way my friend. We are doing well on this side of the pond. Keep in touch! Big hugs! :)
Both of your nephews are cuties! I love the nicknames too. :) Congrats on the newest addition to your family!
I hope he likes his nickname when he gets older! :D Cute kids.
Handsome boys, you must be proud!
Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
Aww, they're both so cute!
I've spent 3 days this week looking after my nephew as he was off nursery ill for a few days. Was lovely to spend 1-on-1 time with him.
They're both adorable! Have never heard of niblings, but love it! Wonder how my nephews are going to like being called niblings? ha!
Oh, Tracy, you have such ADORABLE nephews!! They are both so cute! You are so lucky to have them....I have neither kids nor 'niblings', and SO wish I did!
May God bless these children richly, and you and the rest of your family as well!! : )
Two cuties!!!
