Boy or Girl? – the family votes :: home movie

We found out the gender of our baby back in February. I filmed the moment I revealed the gender to Pete, Ava and Anouk and I plan to share the video of that reveal with you all. Before we did that though, we thought it would be nice to let our close family members know...

They have always been good at creating play. If there is anything they need for their game but don’t have, they just make it. This...

Pete’s birthday. We were on the road for 7 hours, finishing our drive back to Sydney. We stopped home briefly before heading back out to Pete’s parents place for dinner. I tried to take a portrait of Pete & the girls… one where they were all looking at the camera and smiling. This is what I got.
