There's something very special about watching your best friend grow a little new life inside her and then before you know it, become a mother. It was so exciting welcoming little Emily into the world, conveniently timed on what would have otherwise been a lazy Sunday afternoon on the 13th of July.
There's also something entirely contagious when the immensely excited new father gives you a call to share the big news! Seriously I think excitement bubbles were floating out the other end of the phone...so we got there as soon as we could!
Here she is, just about four hours old...

I went and visited Mish, Ed, and Emily again on the weekend, it was very educational to say the least, and I don't quite understand how new parents function on so little sleep. The body must product some kind of constant adrenalin mixed with the stuff no-dose is made out of or something!
Here's Ed looking at her as she emits one of her tiny little sneezes!
A little makeshift baby-sized bed...
I had asked Sonia to make me a little apple-head beanie to keep this little one's head warm in winter. It is so gorgeous but I guess she'll have to grow into it just a little so we don't have to roll the apple up!
In mummy's arms....she looks so peaceful.
A sleepy smile for you to end this post...goodnight!
love always xox
Hello April! How did you creep up on us so fast?
Just thought I'd take the time to reflect on the past few months since the beginning of 08. It's been such a whirlwind of settle and juggle, routine and spontaneity and everything in between...and I guess I'm both awed and humbled for how blessed my life is right now. Through lovely couples taking an interest in my work, I've manage to book out a decent portion of the year...it's been really fun meeting so many new people and I'm very much looking forward to capturing each one of their special stories when their big day arrives!
I also just want to say how thankful I am to everyone, both friends and people I've never met for being so supportive and encouraging me to keep working and immersing in this passion of mine, especially Joel who's been the 'coolest and most understanding' husband ever given all the requests I've had of him (I thank God for you every day).
Before I sign off for the night, just wanted to leave you with some delightful photos of dear little Caleb who is now very much a little boy....see he's grown so much!
We had a relaxing Sunday arvo session at a local park with him and his extended family...aunties and uncles and grandparents all the way from Hong Kong! His phrase of the day was 'okay laaah', his souvenir from a recent Malaysian holiday hahah!
Hello oh-eight, and hello all. It's been awhile since I've posted regularly on any kind of blog and not that I'm in the habit of either making or keeping new years resolutions, but I do intend to keep this blog rolling with the good times 2008 will surely bring, along with unforgettable snippets of the year gone by.
Since my last post I've moved out of home, acquainted myself with the kitchen, and learnt the hard way that you have to separate lights from darks in the wash. exciting stuff. Most of all I get to enjoy every day with my husband who is pretty much the reason I have a new blog and new website which I hope you all enjoy. (Thank you husband!)
Anticipate things to be a bit creaky round the site as we iron out bugs and get things in motion, and please feel free to drop me a line if you have any comments, suggestions, or just want to say hi. Wishing you a blessed 2008 filled with beautiful memories, good times, and love always.
