Had a great weekend.
Travelled as far as Grantham on Friday night, leaving us only an hour to Cambridge on Saturday morning.
Mike and Graham's civil partnership at Hotel Felix was a great occassion. They should be proud of themselves for declaring their commitment to each other and organising a great day. We didn't make it for drinks/clubbing in Cambridge in the evening.
Eve was tired but still managed to have a quick dip in the pool at the Holiday Inn before bed.
Mum was also staying there which was lovely.
Dad and Dawn joined us for a drink and bar meal on the Saturday evening. So happy grandparents all round.

Another swim Sunday morning and coffee with T, G and H before heading off to Leicester to visit Em's sister Lins and fiance Ady. A lovely visit. They are getting married in September and Eve is to be a bridesmaid. She met Lins' friend Sarah who is the 'grown-up' bridesmaid and they got on well.

Monday headed home with a stop en route for coffee, Finn feeding and Eve running about. Got home about 5pm. Travel not too bad with Eve and Finn!

Back to work again - 3 shifts Weds, Thu, Fri this week.

Natasha is coming to stay Sat night and I am taking her to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at Sunderland Empire. Not sure who is more excited - Tasha or me!

Hopefully will get round to posting photos of M+G's ceremony soon and more of Finn, Eve and Tasha

Back to work

Back to work tonight.
2 weeks paternity leave and 1 weeks holiday zipped on by.
Finn will be 4 weeks old tomorrow!
We are heading off to Cambridge for the weekend for Mike and Graham's civil ceremony on Saturday which will be fun. Hopefully Eve and Finn will sleep in the car!
Sadly Natasha can't make it as she is on holiday with her mum.
