We decided before Christmas to finally re-do the kitchen. The job took about 3 weeks and we had to use the laundry and cook on just the BBQ for those weeks – it really is lovely to have an organised kitchen that suits us! We had the benchtops made to a higher height too so we didn’t have to ’stoop’ to prepare and cook.
Before and after photos here:
Damian bought Charlotte a photo shoot of Thomas for her birthday. We did the shoot on the 11th February 2011. Click on an image below to see all the photos:
Where has the time gone, I can’t believe it’s been 4 months since I last updated the website…. We have had a busy few months including a trip to New Zealand and Christmas! In the new year we had a kitchen installed, and Debbie came out to visit for 3 weeks in February.

Life in the Bramanis house has been hectic – Thomas was a little naughty with sleeping through the day and would only sleep in Charlotte’s arms – after 13 weeks of this it got a bit annoying and we call in the professionals to help! About 3 weeks ago we went to the experts in baby behaviour, a place called Ngala. A lovely nurse called Janet helped us with teaching Thomas to sleep in his cot and not only that, but fall asleep without screaming the house down… He has been slowly improving over the past 3 weeks and generally only grizzles to fall asleep now. We owe a debt of gratitude to the staff at Ngala.
Thomas also started solids about a month ago and he loves his muesli for breakfast and pumpkin or sweet potato for dinner. This past week Thomas has started teething so our nights are now disturbed again and we feel so sorry for him as there is nothing we can do to help.

A busy couple of weeks with Thomas having a growth spurt and is now in 3-6 month clothing! We had to have an emergency shopping spree as all the gifts we had been given for Thomas he had outgrown…

Thomas is now almost 8 weeks old – time flies… We had been really lucky and have a very contented little boy, since he was born we have been generally getting at least 4 or 5 hours between feeds overnight and he discovered quickly the difference between day sleeping and night sleeping.
Mum and Dad are both doing well and are getting used to sleep deprivation!
Charlotte’s parents came over from the UK for a total of 7 weeks that they split between them, which was a great help and made the transition from couple to family much, much easier. They have both gone now and we are getting used to going back to ‘normal’ as a family. We thank them for their help and dedication.
Here are some more photos from the beginning of July to now.
The much anticipated date is here! Thomas Karl Bramanis was born happy and healthy into the world on 30/6/2009 at 1.10 in the morning. He weighed in at 8lb 5oz (3.755 kg) and he was 52cm long. Charlotte and Thomas are both doing well… see the photo album here.
And finally… a few fun wedding photos. This is the last of ‘em!
If you haven’t stumbled across them yet, we’ve put a few more wedding photos on too! These are some nice ones:
