By popular demand, here are a few more photos of Samuel and his first week at home. We are loving it all and being well looked after by doting gradparents. Thank you so much for the messages and calls of love and excitement at this little person's arrival. It means a lot to us!

Thanks for the hat Oma Bleby 

Mmm, may take a little time to grow into the many gifts.

Gem's first cuddle 

Noddy! Actually makes him look like a big bub - until you realise he is in the smallest car seat available on the market... 

Admission to practice in the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory

Samuel's arrival has almost overshadowed another momentous occasion. After seven years and a parchment collection later (LLB/BA at La Trobe, MCL at Adelaide/ Mannheim and finally the Grad. Dip in Legal Practice at the College of Law) Anthony was admitted to practice in the ACT Supreme Court today. Hooray! It was lovely that our little man could be there too!


Alexandra, Alex, Anthony and Sue.

What a week...a dad and a lawyer within the space of six days... 

Welcome home Samuel!

After a couple of days in hospital Hannah and Samuel have returned home. Thank you to all who sent there love and best wishes to our new family. Our little boy has most certainly been welcomed into the world. Now begins the caravan of family starting with Joyce, then Jenny and Fred, then Matt and Lauren, then Peter and Jayne, then...



Samuel in safe hands! 

Hanging on tight to Mum and Dad.

Welcome to the world Samuel Peter Bleby Orford - 14 October 2006, 23:28

Much to our suprise and our delight, our little boy was born on Saturday, 14 October 2006 at 11:28pm. Both Mum and bub are doing very well! We look forward to introducing Samuel to our family and friends. Much love from the three of us!


Our gorgeous little boy - about an hour old!
