Father's Day Weekend

 Daddy wearing his Father's Day Medal, with Eve giving him a Peppa Pig cup 

We didn't do much this weekend, just hung out at home and took a walk in the woods. Mikey arrived on Saturday afternoon just as we walked in the door with Eve asleep in her pram. So, we drank some cold beers and caught up on life. When Eve woke up later in the afternoon, as soon as she saw Mike her face lit up into a big smile. She had been really looking forward to seeing him.

Late afternoon the sun came out for a while, so Dad, Mike and Eve played with bubbles in the back garden.

Eve was really well behaved, and we could tell that she was being ultra good as Mike was there. She was very good about going to bed, even though she knew she was leaving us downstairs to have fun. 

Us oldies stayed up a bit late, and felt a bit worse for wear on Sunday morning. I got up with Eve at 6am and enjoyed breakfast with her and played some games. At 10am we both agreed that Daddy had slept for long enough. I reminded Eve that it was Father's Day and that we should go and take him the medal that she had made him at nursery. I gave her a Peppa Pig Father's Day cup, which she proudly carried upstairs to give to Daddy.

Daddy was also feeling a bit dodgy, but waking up to see Eve with her Father's Day gifts filled him with happiness so that he felt much better. I had helped Eve practise saying 'Happy Father's Day' for a day or two beforehand and she kept saying 'Happy Birthday,' and that we had to make Daddy a cake. ;-)

But when we walked into the bedroom, she said 'Happy Father's Day,' perfectly and I could see tears of joy in Sam's eyes. We are so grateful for our girl, she is such a beautiful person, so kind, caring and happy.
