Uncles Day 2 (The Uncles Weekend)

Uncles day 2 started with a phone call from uncle Roland in Kent. He had his 1st chat with Curtis on the telephone. Followed by a visit from pseudo uncle Stan who came the whole way from Dundee to say hello to the little man. This Completed the involvement of all 5 of Curtis's Uncles in the Uncle weekend festivities.

Stan was hoping Curtis was going to come on the 10th as thats his birthday. The Condition was that if he did, Stan had to appear somewhere in his name. Lucky for Curtis he didnt arrive on the 7th or 12th as he could have ended up being called Valerie or Veronica.
As it happens there is still an outside bet on Stanley appearing in his name. Curtis Aaron Stanley Hughes would give the little man the coolest initials ever. Johnny would be proud.

Also visiting today was the lovely Carolyn. Carolyn shared a flat with stanley and myself whilst we were all at University. But also happens to be our favourite obstetrician and baby expert. Having not seen Carolyn for 6-7 years it was a bit of a random shock when she walked in whilst steph was in labour. But she was great and made the whole process much nicer and easier for us. Big thankyou and also for the flowers she brought today.

Uncle Jamie came to entertain us all again today. Jamie is taking a 4 month sabbatical from work to play with Curtis ( ......I mean finish his Phd) so will probably see more of Curtis than me.



The Uncle weekend was rounded off in style with a strong contender for coolest big clothes. Tim and Lizzie bought this t-shirt before heading off to catch the ferry back to Ireland, and we love it.









As for Curtis.... as you can see he was quite relaxed about the whole affair. Not sure who he takes after.............
