Wedding reception Melbourne

After cooling off in our hotel we headed to Middle Brighton Baths for the reception. An intimate dinner for around 70 people in a beautiful setting. This place is a restaurant normally I think but tonight it was transformed for Sam's wedding party. The food was fantastic and the wine was very pleasing also. Bit of dancing later on with some salsa moves (not from me) and some Iranian dancing also.

Finished at the reception around midnight and then headed back to st Kilda to our hotel. Monday we did some shopping in the city (well Bec did, I just followed) and also paid a visit to Crown casino. Bec was hassling me as she had never been so I took her and showed her around. After an hour I got sick of watching Chinese people throwing away their money, it was Monday morning after all, so we got back in the car and headed to the airport. Back to Sydney and back to reality. In all the Melbourne photos bec is 29 weeks.

Sam & Bahareh

Sam made a great entrance with her mum Bahareh and she looked fantastic as you can see. What a beautiful ceremony with readings from Tom's mother, here from England, and a very moving Farsi chant from Bahareh. Afer the ceremony we had a couple of hours to kill and we went back to the hotel in St. Kilda. It was so hot we needed to get somewhere that has AC to relax and cool down before the night festivities started.

Sam & Tom get married (Melbourne)

February 17th 2007 we heaed to Melbourne to attend the wedding of Sam & Tom. What a beautiful day (but too hot at 40 degrees) it was with the ceremony in the stunning Rippon Lea Estate followed by a cracking reception at Middle Brighton Baths.
Here we are waiting for the ceremony to start. Bec was dying with the heat but some wise guy had brought an esky full of cold water to keep us going.

Another 1st Birthday

Here is Bec with Lola at Philip's first birthday party. I go to more 1st birthday parties these days than I do 21st's and these days its all about fairy bread, rice crispy cakes and building sand castles than it is about beer and smokes. We always have a great time though and with our own baby on the way I guess I am getting used to it. Here Bec is 26 weeks and trying to stay in the shade as it was a very hot weekend.

1st Birthday Party

Here is Bec with Mia on her 1st birthday. Bec is 25 weeks here.

Party in the Harbour

Here we are at a friend's birthday party in a beautiful apartment overlooking Sydney harbour. Lots of fantastic sashimi and white wine but unfortunately Bec could have neither, much to her disspaointment. Here Bec is 24 weeks. This week we also had a meet with our obstetrician and everything is going well so far. Due date is still May 21st and everything seems to be going very well apart from Bec having trouble sleeping at night.
