Cookie's First Few Days - Nov11

If you do not know already, we have sad news. Scampi, our beloved French Bulldog, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday 19th November 2011.

It has been a terrible year for us, plus I lost my sister in an accident back in June.

We picked up Cookie several days after losing Scampi. She has her own personality, is quite head strong, but is coming along fine with her training!

Anyway, enjoy her baby shots!

Scampi Taking on Centennial Park - Oct11

These are some of the last shots we took of Scampi, our dear little boy. They were taken down at Centennial Park in Sydney on a nice day. As usual, his cheeky mannerisms meant he took us for a walk, rather than the other way around!

Scampi Loving Life - Oct11

More Scampi shots! I have been addicted to this IPhone app (Hipstamatic) for some time now which mimics various old style photos. All of these were taken with my IPhone. The first shot at home, some down at Coogee and some at a beach near the Spit Bridge here in Sydney.

Family Shoot - Sep11

Mum and Dad came over in September and we decided to do a family shoot with Scampi. He loves posing for the camera but equally it accentuates his growing stomach!

Scampi at His Grandparents - Jul11

Scampi has the occasional trip to see his grandparents in the Hunter Valley. After being cooped up in our Sydney apartment, he loves getting outside in a normal backyard for a run around!

Hawaiian Trip - Jun11

Jenn and I finally took our honeymoon. We decided to go to Hawaii to escape the impending Sydney winter (not that Sydney winters are too bad, but I am a warm weather lover!).

We spent three nights in Kauai, then a week in Oahu, staying in Waikiki.

Absolutely LOVED Hawaii and very keen to return.
