This year my work had organised a family day at Taronga zoo.
Since Chong works for the same company we managed to have most of the family covered with tickets and food.
It was great to show the kids some of the animals such as the big gorillas.
Snow leopards.
Mountain goats...
Lions...
And dinosaurs...
They also put on a seal show for us and it was fun to watch them performing stunts. Aiden was absolutely mesmerised...
By the end of the day everyone was knackered...

When I setup for my photos I normally have to take a range of setup shots to check if the light is the way that I want it. Sometime I managed to volunteer Kim to help me set up and on the rate occasion she pulls a funny face.

This is a series of photos I've taken of Lucas being 1 month old.
It is a lot harder taking baby photos this time around for a number of reasons such as it being harder to find the time with both Lucas and the newborn around as well as Lucas not being a very good sleeper. This means that whenever he does sleep it is time for especially mummy to have a rest rather than run around taking photos.
Aiden is extremely fond of his little baby brother and every morning he wants to see the baby and give him a little kiss.
Whenever Lucas cries, Aiden will say 'Dont cry Lucas'.
I am sure that as he grows older they will be best mates.
Hopefully as he grows older Lucas will be a bit easier we will be able to take more photos than we have been.

Lucas is now one month old and we had a little celebration for family and friends with bbq, food and cake.
It was a fine day with lots of kids around (so AIden was busy playing all day).

Some weeks ago there was a work photo competition where the theme was 'World Connected'. I didn't have much time due to the kids, but I did manage to put together this photo below for the competition with the title 'bringing closer those who matter!'.
It wasn't picked as a finalist, but still fun nevertheless.

Ok, Kim has finally decided on a name for the newborn out of the 2-3 names left on the shortlist.
It is:
'Lucas Lee Pallesen'

The other night I took this photo of the baby's hand grabbing my finger.
We are now approaching week 3...still no closer to having a name for him.

After our escursion to the park last week the family decided to go there for a picnic on this Labour Day (public holiday).
I was soooo tired after having food poisoning the night before...and wasn't able to eat anything...but the others were having fun.
Here is Kims dad with the four daughters.
What I didn't realise was that this was the park that KC and Chong got married in. The ceremony was in this spot where I took this photo of Kims dad with most of his grand children (the two youngest missing).
I also did some more peacock photos while we were there.
Afterwards there was cake and KC and Chongs place (it was his b'day a couple of days earlier)...but we were too tired to join them.

For the last couple of years work has has an annual photo competition. This year the theme was 'connected world' and I decided to participate.
Not an easy task coming up with an idea and doing a project like this with a new kid. With bit of brainstorming I came up with a couple of ideas and with Kims permission to doing a night shoot in the city I decided to put one of the ideas to life.
I am not sure if it is a strong enough photo to be a real contender, but it was fun trying to put it together. The photo was taking at the Domain in Sydney with the highrises in the background.
