No Clean Feed - Stop Internet Censorship in Australia

Welcome Home Amelynne Grace

I’ve been putting off writing this, telling myself that I just don’t have time now I’m a new dad, but truth is, I wanted to say something special and couldn’t think of the words. I still can’t, but I need to say hello so bad, that I can’t put it off any more.

Hello!

Hi Amelynne Grace.

IMG_0076 My little bubby-girl born 31st July 2008

Really, I have no words. She’s everything I dreamed she’d be. So small and fragile, but strong and brave (she rarely cries unless something is really wrong). She’s made my little family complete.

She doesn’t do much besides sleep and eat, but she has started watching her world. Her little eyes scanning over our faces, or caught by the dancing curtains from her change mat. She makes me so proud.

It’s hard to believe that I could love someone so much, and only have known them for two weeks. I don’t know her favourite colour, or what she likes most for breakfast, or who she thinks would win in a fight between Superman and a jedi. But it’s not hard to believe at all, when to look at her is to love her. Even when her face is all screwed up when she’s pooping.

She’s more than I could have hoped for, and she’s my daughter.

How frickin’ sweet.

P.S. Mil is a trooper. She is my hero.

    It’s easy to see your going to be a good father figure, hope you’ve had a good two weeks with your family and I suppose we will see you on the list again soon (after you catch up on all that work your boss has for you!)

    Thank you Matt. I’ve just had a look at the list, and I’ve got 150 conversations to weed through before I can start sending to it! I might not be seen for a long time.

    As much as I hate to say it I reckon superman would beat any jedi in a fight. Being a jedi is cool and all but you have to have time to react. Superman would just hit you superfast and then the jedi would be dazed and not be able to use the force or his lightsaber… While he may win this battle Superman still looks like a dork with his undies on the outside and jedis always looks cooler with their villager-hessian cloak look.

    Happy to have sorted this dilemma for you.

    Welcome home amelynne. I'm sure you will side with me on this one. Don't believe everything daddy says about superheroes. Obi Wan Kenobi is way cooler.
