The Bravos Come to Visit

Back in May last year my sister, Alicia and brother-in-law, Carlos brought my niece (and favourite person), Addy to Australia for a visit for the first time. This was pretty special candid moment because it reminded of the only other time Addy and I had spent time together back in December 2019. Back then she was just 4 months old. In May 2022 Addy was almost 3 years old and not quite sure what to do when I first walked into the hotel suite. She then showed me her shoes and I showed her some of the toys I'd brought for her to play with from when Alicia and I were little. Addy was a fan.

Easter 2022

I of course had to do a little photo shoot. Mum got involved too. She was definitely the best dressed chicken at the party. I baked some Easter cookies. And I had a delicious cupcake baked by my musical society friend, Sam. She gave them out at Chicago rehearsals. Mum and I also cranked up the Easter tunes.

To finish our Easter celebrations we video called Addy who wanted join the dress-up fun.
