Hi Abbigail,

Your Aunty Helen and I started our lives near Wellington, New Zealand in the late 1960's.

Have a look at family photos from before we moved to the United States. Sorry they're slightly out of order. Grandpa Francis shot these using colour slide film. He was the default family photographer for years.

Love, Dad 

Our first house: 126 Reynolds Street, Taitā, Lower Hutt.

Our first cat!

Your father, freshly born.

Our second house: 58 Hewer Crescent, Naenae, Lower Hutt.

Your Dad and Grandma Heather.

Me and your Great Grandma Hilda (Heather's mother).

Grandma Heather, Aunty Helen (freshly born), and your dad. Helen was born over a year after me.

Aunty Helen gets a bath. I'm sure I'm being very helpful...
