Visit to Auntie Kath

Elliot and Mummy went to visit Auntie Kath today, and whilst they were there she got to meet Katie and Emily and Collette, who we've not seen for a good few years.
Everyone is doing really well.
Only one bad thing to say about today and that was that Elliot and Mummy couldn't find anywhere in ripon suitable for breast feeding. One place did have a space for feeding but it was barely sufficient to stand and feed. I gather from what's been said that she WILL NOT be going back there.

Wow a full night of sleep!

This picture is quite simple to explain, sorry it's so blurry!
Basically, last night the sleepy one was put to bed after feeding at around 11ish, i awoke this morning at 7ish, to be told that she hadn't woken up once all night.
I'm still in shock and it's nearly midnight again. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that whatever reason she slept through last night will be replicated again today. I know for a fact that Billie must be exhausted, i'm the fragile one, everyone can see i'm tired, but Billie is the one that does the night time feeding and daytime caring, so my tiredness can't be anywhere close to hers.
Elliot you little darling, thank you, even if this good sleeping thing doesn't continue... just thank you for giving us a small break. :)

Claire!

I don't know how we forgot to take any photo's of Auntie claire but we did. We went to visit her on Friday night, but the only photo we have of her and Elliot is one from earlier in the week when Claire came to visit us.
So seeing as i
1. Forgot to take photo's on Friday night; and
2. Can't remember what we did on Monday evening i'll post this here
There's one major notable difference between Claire earlier in the week and on Friday evening and that's those things on her face. She went for laser surgery on her eyes this week, and as a result those spectacles are now (or at least should be) a thing of the past!
It was lovely to see you Claire, i know Billie loved seeing you again, because despite exhausting herself she insisted we came to see you on Friday evening before you flew back to the inbred isles.
Hope to see you again soon. PS, thank you for all the gifts, and your mothers stitching is amazing! We'll frame it asap!
Oh I just remembered, tonight we watched the last episode of Heroes: Origins (Season One) And quite honestly we have been completely amazed by the whole show. I don't think i've seen any series that's completely enthralled me like this since i first saw Babylon 5 back in 1993. Lost was good, but the whole "superheroes" concept just has me in rapture. Wow! i can't wait for second season Heroes: Generations to start!

Meet Cameron and Sophie

I don't think I've posted a picture of this duo before, after my sisters meal we went to visit Bill, and his two little helpers.
I think this was about the only time we managed to keep them both still enough for a photo!
Both were completely enthralled by the baby and just wanted to pat her, stroke her and hug her, until everyone was completely loved up.

Katie's graduation dinner

Went to dinner at the Hallgarth today to celebrate Katie's 2:1. Elliot was quite well behaved until Katie held her. She's a little tyke! Elliot had been twisting all morning as she just was not happy at all! but once we put her in the car she settled down quite well.

The Carvery was very nice and was actually fairly priced. Well worth the money.

We spent some time with my parents before taking Elliot to see her cousins. Cameron was really well behaved with her and just wanted to give her lots of hugs. Sophie just wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

It was gone 9 by the time we got home and frankly we were all exhausted. Though i managed to stay awake and watch a few things. we'd recorded on the V+ box. Crusade, Dexter and My Name is Earl. The latter two were really good. But Crusade was pretty lacklustre again.

I started recording Crusade as it is on at lunchtimes during the week while i'm at work. I am a massive Babylon 5 fan and loved the whole story arc, including the TV movies that were made. But Crusade really suffers with pretty poor storylines. The combat is really lacking aswell.. I really don't understand why they moved to "silent space fights". Yeah it's more realistic but it's not what people want to see... I'm in no doubt as to why the series got cancelled in '98. But i will continue to watch them all to the end ;)
