The Brothers Family

Julian is 12 weeks old as of yesterday. He's been working on rolling over, talking, and giggling. He wakes up a very happy boy in the mornings and loves to go for walks in the stroller. He likes to listen to The Beatles and has my dimple. Every day he shows us a little more of who he is and we fall deeper in love with this sweet boy. XO, Meg

"We'd been very good friends for millions of years and I thought it was a bit much for them suddenly to be personae non gratae and out of my life," McCartney said. Cynthia Lennon recalled, "I was truly surprised when, one afternoon, Paul arrived on his own. I was touched by his obvious concern for our welfare.... On the journey down he composed 'Hey Jude' in the car. I will never forget Paul's gesture of care and concern in coming to see us." The song's original title was "Hey Jules," and it was intended to comfort Julian Lennon from the stress of his parents' divorce. McCartney said, "I started with the idea 'Hey Jules,' which was Julian, don't make it bad, take a sad song and make it better. Hey,
