If I could choose to join any famous family, it would have the be the Irwins. Not only would I get to live in Australia and have basically unlimited free visits to the Australia Zoo, they all seem so sweet and kind and genuine!
Bindi just shared the most adorable moment on her Instagram story that only cemented my dream of one day being an Irwin!

Anyone else in *desperate* need of some good news?
Like, ANY good news? It’s been a year (and then some) of depressing headlines and soul-crushing news. Why, if my heart hadn’t been frozen sometime back in the mid-’90s, I think it might just break apart at the seams any day now.
However, there’s one family we can ALWAYS count on to bring the good news.
Not mine, obviously (my in-laws generally bring nothing but stale fruitcake), but the Irwins!
Steve Irwin left behind a fantastic legacy of nature-loving and animal rights-supporting, but even more important than that, he left one of the best celebrity families pretty much in the world.
The Irwins have done an incredible job maintaining the legacy that Steve built.
Last year, they saved more than 90k animals during the Australian wildfires, with Bindi writing at the time, “My parents dedicated our Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital to my beautiful grandmother. We will continue to honour her by being Wildlife Warriors and saving as many lives as we can.”
Of course, not everything they do is related to animals!
The Irwins have also thrived in their personal lives! Robert recently graduated high school at only 15 years old and, last year, Bindi married her longtime boyfriend, Chandler Powell , in a very moving ceremony at the Australia Zoo.
Bindi Irwin announced in August last year that she was expecting a baby with her new-husband and longtime partner, Chandler Powell.
And of course they did it in the most adorable way possible by posting a picture of themselves holding a little tiny baby version of the Australia Zoo khaki shirt the family is almost exclusively pictured in.
It’s so sweet I could cry!
The couple then announced they were having a baby girl.
Chandler wrote at the time, “Our little girl and my beautiful wife are my entire world. I’m so excited to meet our daughter when she’s born next year and to see the incredible person she will grow up to be.”
What absolutely *did* make me cry was the latest picture Bindi shared, which was a recreation of a picture of herself, Steve, and her mom while she was pregnant with Robert.
“Recreating a very special moment. Third trimester love,” Bindi shared , alongside the two pictures, one showing Chandler kissing her baby bump and the other showing Steve and herself kissing her mother’s.
This is maybe the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
Obviously, the fans agreed with me on that one.
“You’re going to be the most incredible parents. We love you Baby Wildlife Warrior,” shared The Australia Zoo Instagram account.
“Oh a lovely big pouch and joey you have there,” joked the Instagram account of The Kangaroo Sanctuary as well.
Messages of love came pouring in.
“Love this! Such a beautiful moment! What a lucky baby girl she is! She’s already loved beyond measure,” one fan wrote.
“You both will be the most amazing parents! I can’t wait to watch your adventures with your little girl!” another shared.
That’s one lucky baby!
Any baby being born into a loving family is lucky, but to be born into The Irwins has got to be right up there on the list of best families possible.
I can’t wait for the baby to be born and all the cute pictures we’ll get then!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go buy some tissues, because someone cried over an Instagram post for so long that they ran out. Not sure who.
