Leaf: The passion fruit flower- it has to be one of the most spectacular flowers on earth. A gift from my gorgeous husband. (Yarramundi, Australia)

Rae: The Dream Is Now. It's a message for us. This work of art of a house was very close to where Chinua lived when he was around twelve. (Detroit, USA) 

Leaf: I've been spending a lot of time staring at walls like this in hospital getting blood tests and ultrasounds and hearing people talk in the corridor about the lady who lived in India and then Thailand and is now here to have her baby. (Nepean Hospital, Australia) 

Rae: Kai, Solo and Leafy playing a card game with a boy from down the street. (Detroit, USA)

Leaf: Some sweet visitors in the front yard when we got home today. (Yarramundi, Australia)

Rae: Lots of family portraits around here right now. This is all my crew with Chinua's dad, two of his aunties, and one cousin. (Detroit, USA) 

Leaf: Taran making Jasper laugh, just picking up where they left off 8 months ago. (Yarramundi, Australia)

Rae: Three generations playing football: Kai, Chinua, and Chinua's father. (I hope I'm catching footballs when I'm his age. I guess I should start now.) (Detroit, USA)

Leaf: This was the beautiful sight that awaited us when we arrived at our Aussie home. (Yarramundi, Australia)

Rae: I had a couple mornings of delight with this little love of a baby niece. Mmm, I love babies! (Detroit, USA)

Leaf: My gorgeous new fashion designer friend Sarisa at her stall at the market. (Chiang Mai, Thailand)

Rae: And we're at Chinua's dad's house! The across-the-street-neighbor came over the other day so we could play with his new puppy. (Detroit, USA)

Leaf: This is our lovely neighbour who constantly gives us food. Even right at the moment of taking this picture he put the food bundle he had for us under his robes. I only wish I could have taken an action shot with the food being passed on a long stick or thrown over. Sadly he leaves for Bangkok in October. (Pai, Thailand)

Rae: Riding the skylink between gates at the airport. (Dallas, USA)
