Lovely Weekend

Thats what i have had, saturday was spent with all my great friends at the crop, my little baby jake came home with me and spent the night with his grandma to let his mum and dad get some unbroken sleep lol, then today his mum came and they are still here so it has been lovely spending the day with them both, he has slept through most of it mind you

At the crop yesterday the wonderful maz gave us the most gorgeous pressie, a hand made milk carrier thingy, you know the kind the milk man used to carry round when delivering to the doorstep, all made from card and each carton had a little somethig inside, bibs, socks,a teddy and some booties, its just gorgeous, thank you maz
