<br><br>This afternoon Kim and I decided to try and take a photo of Aiden for his passport. This was not as easy as it sounded and he couldn't sit or lie still and was making all sort of expressions.
<br><br>These photos were all taken within 10 minutes from start to finish... He is such a funny little boy! <br>

Because we had Aiden it was difficult for us to go (for some reason the place would not allow children that young). <br><br>We therefore decided to let KC and Chong have three of the days with their kids and then I would go with someone else for a weekend. We were lucky that the place would allow all of us to go on the same weekend during the peak season at Perisher.<br><br>Soeren and I left Friday afternoon to do the 500km drive to Perisher. We stopped at Cooma to pick up car chains and ski gear and arrived at the lodge just before 7pm...just in time for dinner with the rest of the family. <br><br><br>In the morning we woke up to a glorious day and we hit the fields immediately heading straight to the Blue Cow area after doing a few warm up runs. In the past I have only been skiing in the front of the valley and Mt Perisher itself so it was nice to have some new unexplored territory and it was also nice to get away from the crowds. <br><br>In the evening we again had dinner with the family...4 courses at the lodge. I think everyone was pretty tired from a whole day outside so it was a fairly early bedtime.<br><br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fblog_photos_2010%2f5681.jpg.axdx"><br><br>On the second day the weather closed in and there was a blizzard. On the tops there was a fresh load of snow. My highlight was that I managed to have a good run of Kamikaze which is the only double black diamond in the area and I felt really good on it because of the great conditions. The photo above was taken on top of Bluecow shortly earlier.<br><br>Later in the morning Soeren and I met up with chong and we did a couple of runs at Perisher Mountain. Again, because of the blizzard there was no crowds and off the sides of the slopes the snow was soft and deep (for Australian standards). I had really good fun on the unprepared runs in the loose snow and felt solid getting down the terrain (you don't gain much experience from running on prepared slopes all the time).<br><br><br>In the early afternoon we headed back down, packed up and made our way back to Sydney (in just under 6 hours).<br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="Skiing at Perisher 2010" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/Skiing-at-Perisher-2010" addthis:description="skiing at perisher 2010"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

Fatherhood is great...So far it has been a lot easier than I thought it would be. So far I would by lying if I didn't say that I enjoy every minute of it.<br><br>Everyone around me told me that it is sooo hard having kids, especially the first few months are a nightmare. Not sure what they are talking about...yeah Aiden wakes up at weird times wanting a feed, but besides from that he is doing what babies are expected to be doing. He is sleeping, pooping, crying and eating...easy! <br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5683.jpg.axdx" height="283" width="425"><br><br>...That is when I'm around. For example this weekend when I was in the snow he was crying all the time. It seems that he somehow senses when I'm not around and then starts being difficult. Maybe he is turning into a daddy's boy ;-) <br><br><br>When we were expecting I promised myself that I would just relax and enjoy the new company. There is no point stressing and swimming against the current...so if he wants to cry then he can cry, and if he wants to eat then he can eat. While we were planng kids I was worried if I was parent material and how
 good a dad I would be. I had never really been around newborns...let 
alone picked up one. I am getting a lot more confident now.<br><br>During the week Kim does the night feeds as I have to go to work in the Morning, but during the weekends I generally give him the bottle at night. Sometimes I have to then catch up on some sleep later in the day (otherwise Kim will have to deal with two babies) but that is ok. <br><br>Aiden turned two months old a couple of days ago and is a good little boy. He has started smiling and laughing once in a while when he is in a good mood. He is very curious and looks around to study and understand his surroundings all the time which I take as a good thing.<br><br>I think his favourite time is when we take a shower together. Kim and I discovered that it is a lot easier to just take him in the shower with me rather than having to fill up bath tubs etc. We also think that his least favourite time is go leave the shower. <br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="Fatherhood" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/Fatherhood" addthis:description="fatherhood"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

This is a race that starts from Hyde park in the centre of Sydney and ends at Bondi beach which is one of the most famous beaches in Australia (but not the best).In this years race there were over 80,000 participants.<br>
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=city_to_surf_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fcity_to_surf_2010%2f5658.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="283" width="425"></a>
<br><br>I met up with a couple of work colleagues at Martin place in the city. We all also participate in the Global Corporate Challenge and this was a good way to increase our stepcount. We were starting at the back of thepack...which pretty much meant that we were planning to walk the 14.1 kilometers to Bondi.
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=city_to_surf_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fcity_to_surf_2010%2f5663.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="283" width="425"></a> <br>
<br><br>Out team name in the GCC is Onthophagytes (Dung beatles)...so the photo above is very appropriate. <br><br>It was freezing in the morning but the sun was out, so as soon as we started walking we were warm. <br>
<br><br>Along the way to Bondi there is different people entertaining and a lot of people were dressed up (we were overtaken by Superman and an Avatar).

<br><br>
<br><br>When we got to Bondi (I'll know my race time later but I think it will be around 2 hours and 15 minutes...It turned out to be 2:29:28...just just below my target of 2.5 hours) te queue for the buses were mile long. I already knew they were going to be impossible and therefor decided to walk to Coogee (another 7km) and then have Kim pick me up from there. Two of my colleagues decided to join me on the walk and then catch the bus from there.
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=city_to_surf_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fcity_to_surf_2010%2f5677.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="283" width="425"></a>
<br><br>It was a pleasant walk where we stopped for a bite at Bronte and eventually had a quick beer (for me anyway) at Coogee before Kim called me and told me she was there with Aiden in the car. <br>

<br><br>Sunday I had a couple of hours to spare to explore while Kim was looking after Aiden. I decided to drive to La Perouse and then walk along the coast to Cape Banks to find the shipwreck of SS Minmi.
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=minmi_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fminmi_2010%2f5645.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="283" width="425"></a>
<br><br>The ship hit the cliffs in heavy fog and storm in 1937 and broke in two. Part of the wreck is still visible on the rocks. Because it is on the inside of the heads the wreck isn't as exposed to wind and waves as it would have been on the outside so there is still a lot of the ship left.
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=minmi_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fminmi_2010%2f5648.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="425" width="282"> </a>
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=minmi_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fminmi_2010%2f5646.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="425" width="282"></a>
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=minmi_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fminmi_2010%2f5644.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="425" width="282"></a>
<br><br>The walk out there from La Perouse was longer than I expected so I was a bit rushed and didn't have as much time taking photos as I would have liked. It took me about two hours to walk out there and back via Henry Heads (here there is still some remnants of gun positions from the wartime).
<br><br>It is actually a really nice walk and I will have to come back with Kim and Aiden sometime. I will have to check out if it is possible to drive a bit closer.
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=minmi_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fminmi_2010%2f5652.jpg.axdx" title="click here for more photos" alt="click here for more photos" height="283" width="425"></a>
<br><br>I managed to make it back just in time for the family coming over for dinner. <br>

My mum and dad is telling me that I am now one month old...what ever that means. I am still coming to terms with me feeling really hungry every 3 hours. One Month....how many feeds is that?<br><br>I am getting more used to be in this world, my mum and dad are doing their best to make me comfortable but I still cry once in a while. My dad is telling me that big boys like me shouldn't cry...but I feel so little compared to all of them so why shouldn't I cry? <br><br>In the evening I like to sit in daddy's lap. It is nice, warm and secure there. Sometimes I almost fall asleep there before my dad puts me to bed, but I usually beg him to let me stay a little longer. On the weekends he is happy with me spending time there, but I really miss daddy during the week when he is at work. During the week I ask my mummy as well, but she is too tired from feeding me all the time...I think this sometimes frustrates her as she would like some rest in between my feeds. I have grown a lot and I can no longer fit into my first set of clothes it must be all those meals.<br><br><br>I have also started having a shower on some days with my dad instead of a bath in my bathtub. It is really nice to feel the warm water drops on my little body and it feels much nicer and secure than having a bath in my bathtub. I have learned that I should close my eyes and hold my breath when he puts my head under the water. Daddy says that hopefully it will make me less scared in a couple of years time when he is going to teach me something called 'swimming'.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5642.jpg.axdx" title="5 weeks old" alt="5 weeks old" height="283" width="425"><br><br>Most evenings I get a little upset for a couple of hours, I don't 
understand why but mummy and
 daddy calls it my 'witches hour' and says that it is normal and should pass. My dad is very patient and is telling me that for the first 6-8 weeks they will respond to all my needs, but after that they will start setting some rules to make me sleep all through the night.<br><br>My dad is still taking photos of me. I still find it confusing and I am not sure in what direction to look when he is taking photos. Should I look at him, mummy, the lights or all the interesting alien space ships I'm surrounded by?<br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="1 Month Old" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/1-Month-Old" addthis:description="1 month old"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

It has afterall been two weeks since I was born...but my parents didn't have a name ready for me when the Stork arrived....typical!!<br><br>They have now finally named me...took them long enough. They had a shortlist of names, but they weren't sure which one I would prefer. I was trying to tell them but there is an interpretation problem, they don't understand Baby and I am still unable to speak English. Fortunately they chose the name that I like as well. For the first couple of weeks they just called me 'Baby'.<br><br><br>So here I go....Hello everyone. My name is AIDEN LEE PALLESEN....and I am pleased to meet you!<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5631.jpg.axdx" title="Aiden Lee Pallesen" alt="Aiden Lee Pallesen" height="426" width="640"> <br><br><br>The first two weeks of my life has been busy. I arrived to this world on the 7th June 2010. Suddenly I was removed from my mums comfortable belly and was expected to take my first breath. Yeah right...I'd like to see you guys have your head put under water and see how quickly you adjust!! I was worried that they would slap me in the bum like I have seen on some of the movies.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5635.jpg.axdx" height="480" width="319"><br><br>Anyway, only took a couple of hours before I got the idea. It is really not that hard, you just move your chest up and down and the rest takes care of itself.<br><br>One thing though...for the past two weeks I've felt sooo sleepy and really hungry. I know I am giving my mum a really hard time wanting food every couple of hours but at least she has my dad there to help her out a bit and take care of my night feeds.<br><br>Last week I was introduced to my new home. My dad carried me around the house and told me where everything was. I must say that my mum and dad has done a fantastic job decorating the room I will be living in when I get a bit older.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5634.jpg.axdx" height="480" width="319"><br><br><br>I feel that I am very lucky that I have two very loving and caring parents. It is a new experience to them as well as to me, so a bit of a learning curve ahead.<br>For example the first few days after I arrived home they kept taking my clothes off all the time. They said it was so that they could change something called a 'Nappy'. I don't like the cold so every time they did it I would start crying. Now I know that this is one of the ways they show me that they love me...so I don't mind it so much anymore.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5637.jpg.axdx" height="480" width="319"><br><br>Also, every morning my dad takes me to the bathroom and gives me something he calls a 'Bath'...sounds like Thai to me, but apparently it is supposed to make me clean and smell nice.<br>It involved my dad using something called 'Water' to first clean my fair and then submerge me into. Silly dad...he should know that I have quite gotten used to do this thing called 'Breathing' now and dont need water.<br><br><br>Anyway, in the beginning I was crying everytime he put me in the water, but I am slowly getting used to the idea as long as the water is warm enough. I still panic once in a while due to the feeling of weightlesness. I prefer when daddy takes me in the shower...I like the feeling of water sprinkled onto my belly. Once in a while I return my love by sprinkling my daddy with warm water too...<br><br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5636.jpg.axdx" height="411" width="640"><br><br>My dad and I will give you some future updates on how I am experiencing my new life. I am still getting used to the idea of him taking photos of me. The flashes are really bright! Mummy is worried about my comfort...I love her deerly for her concern. I should be getting more used to him taking photos...he's already told me that he's got so many ideas and I would like to help him. I am still working on the learning how to pose in photos so that I am ready for what he would like me to do...It is hard to look cute when you are put in an unfamiliar basket like above and don't have any control of your arms and legs yet.<br><br><br>I am really pleased to say hello to all of you! I can't wait to meet you all!<br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="Aiden Lee Pallesen" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/Aiden-Lee-Pallesen" addthis:description="aiden"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

<br><br>This afternoon Kim and I decided to try and take a photo of Aiden for his passport. This was not as easy as it sounded and he couldn't sit or lie still and was making all sort of expressions.
<br><br>These photos were all taken within 10 minutes from start to finish... He is such a funny little boy! <br>

Because we had Aiden it was difficult for us to go (for some reason the place would not allow children that young). <br><br>We therefore decided to let KC and Chong have three of the days with their kids and then I would go with someone else for a weekend. We were lucky that the place would allow all of us to go on the same weekend during the peak season at Perisher.<br><br>Soeren and I left Friday afternoon to do the 500km drive to Perisher. We stopped at Cooma to pick up car chains and ski gear and arrived at the lodge just before 7pm...just in time for dinner with the rest of the family. <br><br><br>In the morning we woke up to a glorious day and we hit the fields immediately heading straight to the Blue Cow area after doing a few warm up runs. In the past I have only been skiing in the front of the valley and Mt Perisher itself so it was nice to have some new unexplored territory and it was also nice to get away from the crowds. <br><br>In the evening we again had dinner with the family...4 courses at the lodge. I think everyone was pretty tired from a whole day outside so it was a fairly early bedtime.<br><br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fblog_photos_2010%2f5681.jpg.axdx"><br><br>On the second day the weather closed in and there was a blizzard. On the tops there was a fresh load of snow. My highlight was that I managed to have a good run of Kamikaze which is the only double black diamond in the area and I felt really good on it because of the great conditions. The photo above was taken on top of Bluecow shortly earlier.<br><br>Later in the morning Soeren and I met up with chong and we did a couple of runs at Perisher Mountain. Again, because of the blizzard there was no crowds and off the sides of the slopes the snow was soft and deep (for Australian standards). I had really good fun on the unprepared runs in the loose snow and felt solid getting down the terrain (you don't gain much experience from running on prepared slopes all the time).<br><br><br>In the early afternoon we headed back down, packed up and made our way back to Sydney (in just under 6 hours).<br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="Skiing at Perisher 2010" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/Skiing-at-Perisher-2010" addthis:description="skiing at perisher 2010"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

Fatherhood is great...So far it has been a lot easier than I thought it would be. So far I would by lying if I didn't say that I enjoy every minute of it.<br><br>Everyone around me told me that it is sooo hard having kids, especially the first few months are a nightmare. Not sure what they are talking about...yeah Aiden wakes up at weird times wanting a feed, but besides from that he is doing what babies are expected to be doing. He is sleeping, pooping, crying and eating...easy! <br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5683.jpg.axdx" height="283" width="425"><br><br>...That is when I'm around. For example this weekend when I was in the snow he was crying all the time. It seems that he somehow senses when I'm not around and then starts being difficult. Maybe he is turning into a daddy's boy ;-) <br><br><br>When we were expecting I promised myself that I would just relax and enjoy the new company. There is no point stressing and swimming against the current...so if he wants to cry then he can cry, and if he wants to eat then he can eat. While we were planng kids I was worried if I was parent material and how
 good a dad I would be. I had never really been around newborns...let 
alone picked up one. I am getting a lot more confident now.<br><br>During the week Kim does the night feeds as I have to go to work in the Morning, but during the weekends I generally give him the bottle at night. Sometimes I have to then catch up on some sleep later in the day (otherwise Kim will have to deal with two babies) but that is ok. <br><br>Aiden turned two months old a couple of days ago and is a good little boy. He has started smiling and laughing once in a while when he is in a good mood. He is very curious and looks around to study and understand his surroundings all the time which I take as a good thing.<br><br>I think his favourite time is when we take a shower together. Kim and I discovered that it is a lot easier to just take him in the shower with me rather than having to fill up bath tubs etc. We also think that his least favourite time is go leave the shower. <br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="Fatherhood" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/Fatherhood" addthis:description="fatherhood"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

This is a race that starts from Hyde park in the centre of Sydney and ends at Bondi beach which is one of the most famous beaches in Australia (but not the best).In this years race there were over 80,000 participants.<br>
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=city_to_surf_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fcity_to_surf_2010%2f5658.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="283" width="425"></a>
<br><br>I met up with a couple of work colleagues at Martin place in the city. We all also participate in the Global Corporate Challenge and this was a good way to increase our stepcount. We were starting at the back of thepack...which pretty much meant that we were planning to walk the 14.1 kilometers to Bondi.
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=city_to_surf_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fcity_to_surf_2010%2f5663.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="283" width="425"></a> <br>
<br><br>Out team name in the GCC is Onthophagytes (Dung beatles)...so the photo above is very appropriate. <br><br>It was freezing in the morning but the sun was out, so as soon as we started walking we were warm. <br>
<br><br>Along the way to Bondi there is different people entertaining and a lot of people were dressed up (we were overtaken by Superman and an Avatar).

<br><br>
<br><br>When we got to Bondi (I'll know my race time later but I think it will be around 2 hours and 15 minutes...It turned out to be 2:29:28...just just below my target of 2.5 hours) te queue for the buses were mile long. I already knew they were going to be impossible and therefor decided to walk to Coogee (another 7km) and then have Kim pick me up from there. Two of my colleagues decided to join me on the walk and then catch the bus from there.
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=city_to_surf_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fcity_to_surf_2010%2f5677.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="283" width="425"></a>
<br><br>It was a pleasant walk where we stopped for a bite at Bronte and eventually had a quick beer (for me anyway) at Coogee before Kim called me and told me she was there with Aiden in the car. <br>

<br><br>Sunday I had a couple of hours to spare to explore while Kim was looking after Aiden. I decided to drive to La Perouse and then walk along the coast to Cape Banks to find the shipwreck of SS Minmi.
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=minmi_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fminmi_2010%2f5645.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="283" width="425"></a>
<br><br>The ship hit the cliffs in heavy fog and storm in 1937 and broke in two. Part of the wreck is still visible on the rocks. Because it is on the inside of the heads the wreck isn't as exposed to wind and waves as it would have been on the outside so there is still a lot of the ship left.
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=minmi_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fminmi_2010%2f5648.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="425" width="282"> </a>
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=minmi_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fminmi_2010%2f5646.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="425" width="282"></a>
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=minmi_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fminmi_2010%2f5644.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="425" width="282"></a>
<br><br>The walk out there from La Perouse was longer than I expected so I was a bit rushed and didn't have as much time taking photos as I would have liked. It took me about two hours to walk out there and back via Henry Heads (here there is still some remnants of gun positions from the wartime).
<br><br>It is actually a really nice walk and I will have to come back with Kim and Aiden sometime. I will have to check out if it is possible to drive a bit closer.
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=minmi_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fminmi_2010%2f5652.jpg.axdx" title="click here for more photos" alt="click here for more photos" height="283" width="425"></a>
<br><br>I managed to make it back just in time for the family coming over for dinner. <br>

My mum and dad is telling me that I am now one month old...what ever that means. I am still coming to terms with me feeling really hungry every 3 hours. One Month....how many feeds is that?<br><br>I am getting more used to be in this world, my mum and dad are doing their best to make me comfortable but I still cry once in a while. My dad is telling me that big boys like me shouldn't cry...but I feel so little compared to all of them so why shouldn't I cry? <br><br>In the evening I like to sit in daddy's lap. It is nice, warm and secure there. Sometimes I almost fall asleep there before my dad puts me to bed, but I usually beg him to let me stay a little longer. On the weekends he is happy with me spending time there, but I really miss daddy during the week when he is at work. During the week I ask my mummy as well, but she is too tired from feeding me all the time...I think this sometimes frustrates her as she would like some rest in between my feeds. I have grown a lot and I can no longer fit into my first set of clothes it must be all those meals.<br><br><br>I have also started having a shower on some days with my dad instead of a bath in my bathtub. It is really nice to feel the warm water drops on my little body and it feels much nicer and secure than having a bath in my bathtub. I have learned that I should close my eyes and hold my breath when he puts my head under the water. Daddy says that hopefully it will make me less scared in a couple of years time when he is going to teach me something called 'swimming'.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5642.jpg.axdx" title="5 weeks old" alt="5 weeks old" height="283" width="425"><br><br>Most evenings I get a little upset for a couple of hours, I don't 
understand why but mummy and
 daddy calls it my 'witches hour' and says that it is normal and should pass. My dad is very patient and is telling me that for the first 6-8 weeks they will respond to all my needs, but after that they will start setting some rules to make me sleep all through the night.<br><br>My dad is still taking photos of me. I still find it confusing and I am not sure in what direction to look when he is taking photos. Should I look at him, mummy, the lights or all the interesting alien space ships I'm surrounded by?<br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="1 Month Old" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/1-Month-Old" addthis:description="1 month old"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

It has afterall been two weeks since I was born...but my parents didn't have a name ready for me when the Stork arrived....typical!!<br><br>They have now finally named me...took them long enough. They had a shortlist of names, but they weren't sure which one I would prefer. I was trying to tell them but there is an interpretation problem, they don't understand Baby and I am still unable to speak English. Fortunately they chose the name that I like as well. For the first couple of weeks they just called me 'Baby'.<br><br><br>So here I go....Hello everyone. My name is AIDEN LEE PALLESEN....and I am pleased to meet you!<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5631.jpg.axdx" title="Aiden Lee Pallesen" alt="Aiden Lee Pallesen" height="426" width="640"> <br><br><br>The first two weeks of my life has been busy. I arrived to this world on the 7th June 2010. Suddenly I was removed from my mums comfortable belly and was expected to take my first breath. Yeah right...I'd like to see you guys have your head put under water and see how quickly you adjust!! I was worried that they would slap me in the bum like I have seen on some of the movies.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5635.jpg.axdx" height="480" width="319"><br><br>Anyway, only took a couple of hours before I got the idea. It is really not that hard, you just move your chest up and down and the rest takes care of itself.<br><br>One thing though...for the past two weeks I've felt sooo sleepy and really hungry. I know I am giving my mum a really hard time wanting food every couple of hours but at least she has my dad there to help her out a bit and take care of my night feeds.<br><br>Last week I was introduced to my new home. My dad carried me around the house and told me where everything was. I must say that my mum and dad has done a fantastic job decorating the room I will be living in when I get a bit older.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5634.jpg.axdx" height="480" width="319"><br><br><br>I feel that I am very lucky that I have two very loving and caring parents. It is a new experience to them as well as to me, so a bit of a learning curve ahead.<br>For example the first few days after I arrived home they kept taking my clothes off all the time. They said it was so that they could change something called a 'Nappy'. I don't like the cold so every time they did it I would start crying. Now I know that this is one of the ways they show me that they love me...so I don't mind it so much anymore.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5637.jpg.axdx" height="480" width="319"><br><br>Also, every morning my dad takes me to the bathroom and gives me something he calls a 'Bath'...sounds like Thai to me, but apparently it is supposed to make me clean and smell nice.<br>It involved my dad using something called 'Water' to first clean my fair and then submerge me into. Silly dad...he should know that I have quite gotten used to do this thing called 'Breathing' now and dont need water.<br><br><br>Anyway, in the beginning I was crying everytime he put me in the water, but I am slowly getting used to the idea as long as the water is warm enough. I still panic once in a while due to the feeling of weightlesness. I prefer when daddy takes me in the shower...I like the feeling of water sprinkled onto my belly. Once in a while I return my love by sprinkling my daddy with warm water too...<br><br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5636.jpg.axdx" height="411" width="640"><br><br>My dad and I will give you some future updates on how I am experiencing my new life. I am still getting used to the idea of him taking photos of me. The flashes are really bright! Mummy is worried about my comfort...I love her deerly for her concern. I should be getting more used to him taking photos...he's already told me that he's got so many ideas and I would like to help him. I am still working on the learning how to pose in photos so that I am ready for what he would like me to do...It is hard to look cute when you are put in an unfamiliar basket like above and don't have any control of your arms and legs yet.<br><br><br>I am really pleased to say hello to all of you! I can't wait to meet you all!<br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="Aiden Lee Pallesen" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/Aiden-Lee-Pallesen" addthis:description="aiden"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

<br><br>Saturday Ethan (Kims Nephew) had his birthday party. Kims sister asked us if we would like to come and do face painting on the the kids.

<br><br>For the event I got dressed as a pirate and Kim got dressed as a fairy with wings.

<br><br><a href="/cs/photos/various_2007/picture1186.aspx" mce_href="/cs/photos/various_2007/picture1186.aspx" target="_blank"><img src="/FILES%2f2007%2fvarious_2007%2f1186.jpg.axdx" border="0"></a><a href="/cs/photos/various_2007/picture1186.aspx" mce_href="/cs/photos/various_2007/picture1186.aspx" target="_blank"><br></a>

<br><br>KA, kims sister also helped out with some of the face painting. Here is a photo of KA with Ethan.

<br><br>And here is Kayla painted as a mouse.

<br><br>For the event they had also hired a jumping castle (can be seen in the background) and for some weird reason the caucasian kids loved the face painting idea where the asian kids didn't want to have their faces painted.

There are no roads or shops on the beach. The ferry only leaves once an hour and only between 9am and 6pm. The beach is on the opposite side of Pittwater from Palm Beach and it has got a community of about 50 houses.<br><br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2008%2fblog_photos%2f1092.jpg.axdx"><br><br>Most of the two days we were up there it rained, so we spend the time indoor eating, playing games and sleeping. The TV and VCR was out of order and the place didn't have a DVD player. At least it did have a CD player so we could listen to music.<br><br>We cooked dinner on the BBQ and the Kookaburras came to get fed. They were really tame, so you could touch them which is exceptionally rare.<br><br>I was on breakfast duty both days, so the first morning I made Bacon and Eggs for everyone and the second day I made pancakes. Sometimes it was a little stressful with that many people in the kitchen while trying to make breakfast, but it went alright! I am coming from a fairly small family,so I am not used to have that many people around.<br><br><br>Easter Monday Kim and I played golf at Mona Vale golf course which is one of my favourite courses to play on.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2008%2fblog_photos%2f1093.jpg.axdx" height="180" width="270"><br><br>It is right next to the coast and the course is normally in a great condition. Even though the course is long it is not that difficult. <br><br>I was playing pretty average on the first nine holes but improved my game significantly on the second nine and managed to play a number of the holes at par. On one of the holes a Currawong (big black bird) flew down and stole Kims golf ball. I had to chase after the bird for 200 meters until it eventually landed in a tree and then dropped the ball.<br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="Great Mackerel Beach - Easter 2007" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/Great-Mackerel-Beach-Easter-2007" addthis:description="great mackerel beach easter 2007"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

<br><br>This weekend we rented a house at Lake Macquarie in a place called Overnight Reflections at Fishing Point near Newcastle.<br>
<br><br>The place is an easy 1.5 hours drive north of Sydney assuming that there is light traffic.
<br><br>It was a fantastic and very relaxing weekend. The house was right at the water, so we could hear the water and see the full moon (almost) reflect in the water at night.
<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2007%2fvarious_2007%2f1193.jpg.axdx" title="Having breakfast at Lake Macquarie" alt="Having breakfast at Lake Macquarie" height="283" width="425">
<br><br>Saturday afternoon we went playing golf at Toronto Golf and Country club. This was quite an experience. The course itself is nice enough although it needs some maintenance (especially the bumpy greens)...but some of the people playing there should not be allowed onto a golf course.
<br><br>One of the players stole Kims golf ball and on several occasions started bashing up his own golf bag while shouting Fu...k!!! Fu...k!!! Fu...k!!! Obviously it wasn't a great idea confronting him regarding the ball. We were planning to complain to some of the members of the club...but there was no-one else around and eventually we lost track of the guy (fortunately...because he was quite scary).
<br><br>In the evening we went to a very expensive restaurant (even by Sydney standards) at Warners Bay...it was ok, but not a place I'd recommend. Kim and I wanted a bit of a special night out to celebrate and this seemed to be the best we could find outside of Newcastle itself. From living in the Newcastle area years ago I know that it is hard to find a decent restaurant up there...most people regard fish'n'chips as a romantic night out! <br>
<br><br>Anyway...the place we stayed at was very nice although it troubled the owner of the place that we didn't want to have breakfast until after 10.30 in the morning...what IS WRONG with these Sydney people!!! Kim and I enjoyed catching up on some sleep and just relax without having to rush around for set meal times, be a tourist etc.<br>
<br><br>Especially Sunday troubled her at we didn't want to check out until 2pm because we wanted a snooze. She even sent down her grandchildren to make a bit of noise to wake us up. <br>
<br><br>Anyway...it was actually quite amusing and Kim and I didn't mind, the woman running the place was actually quite sweet....and $300 for the two nights in a lake front cottage was good value. It is definitely a place I'd go back to.<br>

<br><br>This Saturday Kim and I went to Hunter Valley with a couple of her Colleagues from Epicor. They had one of her colleagues visiting from the US office.
<br><br>I was invited along as Joanne was the driver and kim doesn't drink, so I was the only person who could drink with the visitor (I didn't mind :-) ).
<br><br>Normally I go for all the red wines, but I decided on this trip to dry some of the white wines, especially try and find a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio...which I eventually did at the Bimbadgen Vineyard.
<br><br>Kim also bought a couple of really nice desert wines that I'm sure I will be allowed to share.

<br><br>Saturday Kim and I want to see La Traviata in Sydney Operahouse.
<br><br>For Christmas I got a couple of tickets for the opera from Kim. It was an opera I hadn't see before and the stage setup was really good and the performance was excellent. Kim had gotten us really good seats...we had front row seats in the dress circle upstairs.<br><br>During the performance they were broadcasting the show to the steps in front of the operahouse as well as to one of the parks in Melbourne. They wanted to show what Opera is like to a wider audience.<br> 
<br><br>Afterwards we had dinner at Circular Quay close to the Opera House. <br>

<br><br>Sunday we drove down to Catherine Fields to Camden Lakeside Country Club to play a round of golf. Sasha and one of his friends dad visiting from Canada also came along.
<br><br>It was really hot, so for the first time I was actually glad that we were driving a kart rather than walking the course. The guy from Canada was almost dead by the time we got back to the club house.
<br><br>I played a really good round (43 points stableford, HCP 13) and Kim played almost at her handicap.
<br><br>It is obvious that there is a drought on. Most of the lakes were dried out, I was looking for a photo online to post here, but the course is totally unrecognisable because of the missing lakes.

<br><br>This year Kim met her targets at work. This meant the she got invited to Hawaii (with a partner...me) as part of the Chairmans club.

<br><br>We got back two weeks ago and had a fantastic trip. The first few days we spent in Honolulu at Waikiki Beach...we got to see all of Oahu, went snorkeling and Kim went shopping. One night we all went to a shooting range in Honolulu.<br>

<br><br>After this we went to Kauai where we were staying at a big resort. Here we went snorkeling, sailing and played golf. 

<br><br>There was parties every night and we also managed to find a bit of time to ourselves.

<br><br>This happens to be a few kilometers away from one of the best rock climbing destinations in the world. So, after the meeting I took a few days off to go rock climbing.

<br><br>Kim happened to be travelling in the Northern part of Thailand with some friends who had to leave on the same day my meeting ended. Kim flew down to Krabi where I picked her up at the airport.

<br><br>Unfortunately it was rainy season, so most of the time in Railay it was raining, but we did manage to get one day of climbing done and the rest of the time we spend in the restaurants and playing cards.

<br><br>This afternoon Kim and I decided to try and take a photo of Aiden for his passport. This was not as easy as it sounded and he couldn't sit or lie still and was making all sort of expressions.
<br><br>These photos were all taken within 10 minutes from start to finish... He is such a funny little boy! <br>

Because we had Aiden it was difficult for us to go (for some reason the place would not allow children that young). <br><br>We therefore decided to let KC and Chong have three of the days with their kids and then I would go with someone else for a weekend. We were lucky that the place would allow all of us to go on the same weekend during the peak season at Perisher.<br><br>Soeren and I left Friday afternoon to do the 500km drive to Perisher. We stopped at Cooma to pick up car chains and ski gear and arrived at the lodge just before 7pm...just in time for dinner with the rest of the family. <br><br><br>In the morning we woke up to a glorious day and we hit the fields immediately heading straight to the Blue Cow area after doing a few warm up runs. In the past I have only been skiing in the front of the valley and Mt Perisher itself so it was nice to have some new unexplored territory and it was also nice to get away from the crowds. <br><br>In the evening we again had dinner with the family...4 courses at the lodge. I think everyone was pretty tired from a whole day outside so it was a fairly early bedtime.<br><br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fblog_photos_2010%2f5681.jpg.axdx"><br><br>On the second day the weather closed in and there was a blizzard. On the tops there was a fresh load of snow. My highlight was that I managed to have a good run of Kamikaze which is the only double black diamond in the area and I felt really good on it because of the great conditions. The photo above was taken on top of Bluecow shortly earlier.<br><br>Later in the morning Soeren and I met up with chong and we did a couple of runs at Perisher Mountain. Again, because of the blizzard there was no crowds and off the sides of the slopes the snow was soft and deep (for Australian standards). I had really good fun on the unprepared runs in the loose snow and felt solid getting down the terrain (you don't gain much experience from running on prepared slopes all the time).<br><br><br>In the early afternoon we headed back down, packed up and made our way back to Sydney (in just under 6 hours).<br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="Skiing at Perisher 2010" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/Skiing-at-Perisher-2010" addthis:description="skiing at perisher 2010"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

Fatherhood is great...So far it has been a lot easier than I thought it would be. So far I would by lying if I didn't say that I enjoy every minute of it.<br><br>Everyone around me told me that it is sooo hard having kids, especially the first few months are a nightmare. Not sure what they are talking about...yeah Aiden wakes up at weird times wanting a feed, but besides from that he is doing what babies are expected to be doing. He is sleeping, pooping, crying and eating...easy! <br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5683.jpg.axdx" height="283" width="425"><br><br>...That is when I'm around. For example this weekend when I was in the snow he was crying all the time. It seems that he somehow senses when I'm not around and then starts being difficult. Maybe he is turning into a daddy's boy ;-) <br><br><br>When we were expecting I promised myself that I would just relax and enjoy the new company. There is no point stressing and swimming against the current...so if he wants to cry then he can cry, and if he wants to eat then he can eat. While we were planng kids I was worried if I was parent material and how
 good a dad I would be. I had never really been around newborns...let 
alone picked up one. I am getting a lot more confident now.<br><br>During the week Kim does the night feeds as I have to go to work in the Morning, but during the weekends I generally give him the bottle at night. Sometimes I have to then catch up on some sleep later in the day (otherwise Kim will have to deal with two babies) but that is ok. <br><br>Aiden turned two months old a couple of days ago and is a good little boy. He has started smiling and laughing once in a while when he is in a good mood. He is very curious and looks around to study and understand his surroundings all the time which I take as a good thing.<br><br>I think his favourite time is when we take a shower together. Kim and I discovered that it is a lot easier to just take him in the shower with me rather than having to fill up bath tubs etc. We also think that his least favourite time is go leave the shower. <br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="Fatherhood" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/Fatherhood" addthis:description="fatherhood"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

This is a race that starts from Hyde park in the centre of Sydney and ends at Bondi beach which is one of the most famous beaches in Australia (but not the best).In this years race there were over 80,000 participants.<br>
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=city_to_surf_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fcity_to_surf_2010%2f5658.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="283" width="425"></a>
<br><br>I met up with a couple of work colleagues at Martin place in the city. We all also participate in the Global Corporate Challenge and this was a good way to increase our stepcount. We were starting at the back of thepack...which pretty much meant that we were planning to walk the 14.1 kilometers to Bondi.

<br><br>Out team name in the GCC is Onthophagytes (Dung beatles)...so the photo above is very appropriate. <br><br>It was freezing in the morning but the sun was out, so as soon as we started walking we were warm. <br>
<br><br>Along the way to Bondi there is different people entertaining and a lot of people were dressed up (we were overtaken by Superman and an Avatar).

<br><br>
<br><br>When we got to Bondi (I'll know my race time later but I think it will be around 2 hours and 15 minutes...It turned out to be 2:29:28...just just below my target of 2.5 hours) te queue for the buses were mile long. I already knew they were going to be impossible and therefor decided to walk to Coogee (another 7km) and then have Kim pick me up from there. Two of my colleagues decided to join me on the walk and then catch the bus from there.
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=city_to_surf_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fcity_to_surf_2010%2f5677.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="283" width="425"></a>
<br><br>It was a pleasant walk where we stopped for a bite at Bronte and eventually had a quick beer (for me anyway) at Coogee before Kim called me and told me she was there with Aiden in the car. <br>

<br><br>Sunday I had a couple of hours to spare to explore while Kim was looking after Aiden. I decided to drive to La Perouse and then walk along the coast to Cape Banks to find the shipwreck of SS Minmi.
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=minmi_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fminmi_2010%2f5645.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="283" width="425"></a>
<br><br>The ship hit the cliffs in heavy fog and storm in 1937 and broke in two. Part of the wreck is still visible on the rocks. Because it is on the inside of the heads the wreck isn't as exposed to wind and waves as it would have been on the outside so there is still a lot of the ship left.
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=minmi_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fminmi_2010%2f5648.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="425" width="282"> </a>

<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=minmi_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fminmi_2010%2f5644.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="425" width="282"></a>
<br><br>The walk out there from La Perouse was longer than I expected so I was a bit rushed and didn't have as much time taking photos as I would have liked. It took me about two hours to walk out there and back via Henry Heads (here there is still some remnants of gun positions from the wartime).
<br><br>It is actually a really nice walk and I will have to come back with Kim and Aiden sometime. I will have to check out if it is possible to drive a bit closer.
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=minmi_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fminmi_2010%2f5652.jpg.axdx" title="click here for more photos" alt="click here for more photos" height="283" width="425"></a>
<br><br>I managed to make it back just in time for the family coming over for dinner. <br>

My mum and dad is telling me that I am now one month old...what ever that means. I am still coming to terms with me feeling really hungry every 3 hours. One Month....how many feeds is that?<br><br>I am getting more used to be in this world, my mum and dad are doing their best to make me comfortable but I still cry once in a while. My dad is telling me that big boys like me shouldn't cry...but I feel so little compared to all of them so why shouldn't I cry? <br><br>In the evening I like to sit in daddy's lap. It is nice, warm and secure there. Sometimes I almost fall asleep there before my dad puts me to bed, but I usually beg him to let me stay a little longer. On the weekends he is happy with me spending time there, but I really miss daddy during the week when he is at work. During the week I ask my mummy as well, but she is too tired from feeding me all the time...I think this sometimes frustrates her as she would like some rest in between my feeds. I have grown a lot and I can no longer fit into my first set of clothes it must be all those meals.<br><br><br>I have also started having a shower on some days with my dad instead of a bath in my bathtub. It is really nice to feel the warm water drops on my little body and it feels much nicer and secure than having a bath in my bathtub. I have learned that I should close my eyes and hold my breath when he puts my head under the water. Daddy says that hopefully it will make me less scared in a couple of years time when he is going to teach me something called 'swimming'.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5642.jpg.axdx" title="5 weeks old" alt="5 weeks old" height="283" width="425"><br><br>Most evenings I get a little upset for a couple of hours, I don't 
understand why but mummy and
 daddy calls it my 'witches hour' and says that it is normal and should pass. My dad is very patient and is telling me that for the first 6-8 weeks they will respond to all my needs, but after that they will start setting some rules to make me sleep all through the night.<br><br>My dad is still taking photos of me. I still find it confusing and I am not sure in what direction to look when he is taking photos. Should I look at him, mummy, the lights or all the interesting alien space ships I'm surrounded by?<br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="1 Month Old" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/1-Month-Old" addthis:description="1 month old"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

It has afterall been two weeks since I was born...but my parents didn't have a name ready for me when the Stork arrived....typical!!<br><br>They have now finally named me...took them long enough. They had a shortlist of names, but they weren't sure which one I would prefer. I was trying to tell them but there is an interpretation problem, they don't understand Baby and I am still unable to speak English. Fortunately they chose the name that I like as well. For the first couple of weeks they just called me 'Baby'.<br><br><br>So here I go....Hello everyone. My name is AIDEN LEE PALLESEN....and I am pleased to meet you!<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5631.jpg.axdx" title="Aiden Lee Pallesen" alt="Aiden Lee Pallesen" height="426" width="640"> <br><br><br>The first two weeks of my life has been busy. I arrived to this world on the 7th June 2010. Suddenly I was removed from my mums comfortable belly and was expected to take my first breath. Yeah right...I'd like to see you guys have your head put under water and see how quickly you adjust!! I was worried that they would slap me in the bum like I have seen on some of the movies.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5635.jpg.axdx" height="480" width="319"><br><br>Anyway, only took a couple of hours before I got the idea. It is really not that hard, you just move your chest up and down and the rest takes care of itself.<br><br>One thing though...for the past two weeks I've felt sooo sleepy and really hungry. I know I am giving my mum a really hard time wanting food every couple of hours but at least she has my dad there to help her out a bit and take care of my night feeds.<br><br>Last week I was introduced to my new home. My dad carried me around the house and told me where everything was. I must say that my mum and dad has done a fantastic job decorating the room I will be living in when I get a bit older.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5634.jpg.axdx" height="480" width="319"><br><br><br>I feel that I am very lucky that I have two very loving and caring parents. It is a new experience to them as well as to me, so a bit of a learning curve ahead.<br>For example the first few days after I arrived home they kept taking my clothes off all the time. They said it was so that they could change something called a 'Nappy'. I don't like the cold so every time they did it I would start crying. Now I know that this is one of the ways they show me that they love me...so I don't mind it so much anymore.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5637.jpg.axdx" height="480" width="319"><br><br>Also, every morning my dad takes me to the bathroom and gives me something he calls a 'Bath'...sounds like Thai to me, but apparently it is supposed to make me clean and smell nice.<br>It involved my dad using something called 'Water' to first clean my fair and then submerge me into. Silly dad...he should know that I have quite gotten used to do this thing called 'Breathing' now and dont need water.<br><br><br>Anyway, in the beginning I was crying everytime he put me in the water, but I am slowly getting used to the idea as long as the water is warm enough. I still panic once in a while due to the feeling of weightlesness. I prefer when daddy takes me in the shower...I like the feeling of water sprinkled onto my belly. Once in a while I return my love by sprinkling my daddy with warm water too...<br><br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5636.jpg.axdx" height="411" width="640"><br><br>My dad and I will give you some future updates on how I am experiencing my new life. I am still getting used to the idea of him taking photos of me. The flashes are really bright! Mummy is worried about my comfort...I love her deerly for her concern. I should be getting more used to him taking photos...he's already told me that he's got so many ideas and I would like to help him. I am still working on the learning how to pose in photos so that I am ready for what he would like me to do...It is hard to look cute when you are put in an unfamiliar basket like above and don't have any control of your arms and legs yet.<br><br><br>I am really pleased to say hello to all of you! I can't wait to meet you all!<br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="Aiden Lee Pallesen" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/Aiden-Lee-Pallesen" addthis:description="aiden"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

	<br><br>Now that I've said this, you're probably wondering about that surfer in the middle of that photo... and is the wave real?
	<br><br>You betcha!
	<br><br>I even have a photo of this surfer being 'chased' by this HUGE wave, on the wall in my apartment.
	<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f1997%2fnarrabeen1997%2f4254.jpg.axdx" alt="Narrabeen beach" width="550"><br><br>Narrabeen is renowned for its great surf and dangerous rips. Many famous lifesavers come to surf at this beach. However, usually after a big storm, the beach is closed as the waves can get pretty rough and dangerous rips pull you out to sea.
	<br><br>These photos were taken outside my apartment during the annual National Surf and Lifesaving competition.
