Vincent and I walk at Coogee, the name du jour for me is Isadora, but in the end I just can't give up Celeste (although it was to be many weeks before the papers are done) we took some photos to immortalise the moment

One Week Old!

These pictures taken at the exact time of her birth.... Mummy was more relaxed a week later

Everyone leave today and its jus the three of us. Vincent Celeste and I go for a walk along the habourfront starting at Glebe... we stop in the twilight looking back towards the lights of the city thinking about the start of our little family and what adventures there are in store for us

Today (Monday) we arrived home in the pouring rain, the boys going crazy waiting for Celeste.... that night we had a bath and had dinner 'toute de la famille'... the boys & Monique depart Wednesday for New Caledonia, and Mum and Dad back to Qld - still no name for picolette - the pressure in on!

After the storms of Friday, Saturday was beautiful... clear blue sky and sunny. Vincent , Celeste and I went outside for a coffee and walk without knowing it was strictly not allowed :-( Celeste feels the sun on her face for the first time

The day Celeste was born it was dark and stormy... We had a room to myself which was wonderful. The boys, Monique and Mum and Dad were of course our first visitors. Mum was just crazy to hold Celeste, although at that time she was known as Picolette (fem. form of Picolo - the boys first choice of name for a brother) or Bebe Sans Nom!
