all the new babies

Since we we've been living in London the baby boom has continued in Australia. On our trip home we had the pleasure of meeting many new little people. Unfortunately we didn't get snaps of all the new babies (eg. Angus, Max, Ruby and Joel) but here's a handful of the ones we did (in birth order)...

Here's Wil... Yo and Danny's little boy. About 14 months in this photo, Wil was eating his dinner but being very entertaining pulling many faces and expressions as I sat taking photos. Very funny.



Here's Zachary, my new nephew with my niece Olivia (3yrs). Zachary is 10 months old here and much adored by his sister.



Here's Josh, Jacqui and Matt's big little boy! He's 9 months in this photo but already as big as Wil.



This is little Mila, Claude and Stu's daughter. It seems that the majority of babies born lately have been boys so as one of the few girls born recently, I'm sure she's going to have a great time keeping all the boys in line! She's about 6 weeks old here.



And finally our new niece Lucy, Fiona and Matthew's little girl, who we met when we were in Perth. She's about 4 weeks old here.

trip home

Our first trip home since living in London was punctuated with several family celebrations... my grandfather's 90th birthday, my cousin's 30th and his wedding. We caught up with lots of friends in Melbourne and Perth and here a few pics from various occasions...
