Yet another baby

Tinkas — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 11:01:07 +0000

But at least this ones in the family. Aunty 'Manda and Uncle Damian have given us Henry. Until we get some pictures this little one of Amy will have to suffice.

Everybody meet Amy Joy

Tinkas — Thu, 09 Feb 2006 09:45:08 +0000

On Tuesday February 7 at 6:45am, Amy Joy finally joined us after 9 months of waiting.

The vital stats are:

Weight - 3.18kg (7lb at a bit for those on the old scale) Height - 50cm Head Circumference - 34cm Mum was very happy with a nice 5 hour labour and NO DRUGS! By the time we got to the hospital Amy was crowning so drugs were off the menu at that stage.

There are more photos at her permanent picture gallery which can be found here.

Testing the new gear

Tinkas — Fri, 04 Nov 2005 08:59:27 +0000

Over the Melbourne Cup long weekend (a four day weekend for some of us), we went up to our usual camp spot at big river, but this time with a whole pile of new gear!

Mel and I decided a while ago to get a new tent. Not just any old tent, the biggest one we could find! We ended up getting ourselves an Outdoor Connection Galaxy 2 tent. A 6m x 3m beast with a bedroom either end (with own entrances) and a common area in between with the main entrance. We also purchased a queen read more »

Babies everywhere…

Tinkas — Fri, 29 Jul 2005 04:29:18 +0000

Its starting to seem like there is a baby boom happening amongst our friends. Kris and Michel gave the world Jasper a bit over a week ago, and he's doing really well, as you can see from the picture.

Mel decides to remind me tonight that Lloyd and Vanessa are due in 13 weeks...We'll have to make the effort to get over the bridge and visit them before Nessy pops.

I decided to visit a few of our friends web sites to see what was going on in their lives and much to our surprise we discovered that Andy and Steph read more »

More wedding photos

Tinkas — Tue, 14 Jun 2005 08:54:18 +0000

We have started to put more pictures of our wedding up today. These pictures have been taken by our attendants and guests and put a sligtly different slant on the day. Its actually quite interesting to see what different people think is worthy of photographing.

At the moment we have just uploaded all of the pictures. We will go through them as time permits and cull out the really bad ones.

Cody gets a hair cut

Tinkas — Mon, 06 Jun 2005 10:53:04 +0000

Over the weekend Cody went for his first hair cut! Di and Jason took him to a kids haricutting place, and apparently he didn't want to leave. From what Di tells us there is a TV in front of every chair which he coudln't stop watching - Sesame St. was on! According to the email he sat nice and still (i didn't think young boys did that) and she did a great job. There are a couple of photos here.

What a weekend

Tinkas — Tue, 31 May 2005 11:26:32 +0000

Stinkas and I were looking forward to this weekend. A friday dress up party at the dance studio, nothing but a dance lesson for Saturday and for Mel a baby shower on Sunday while I took the expectant father to a building show to look at "big boys toys". Isn't it amazing how quickly a slack weekend can become filled.

It started Saturday afternoon as we left the dance studio. We decided to walk some of Melbournes back alleys on the way back to our car and we stumbled onto a beer prayer in the window of a read more »

Wedding Pics

Tinkas — Wed, 25 May 2005 10:03:13 +0000

It has only taken two months and four days, but I have now got some wedding photos up for your viewing pleasure. Just visit the photo gallery to have a look. I have received about six cd's of photos from guests so far, and apparently there are still a few more to come. Mel & I will sit down over the next few weekends and search through these discs and put up some more photos as soon as we get a chance. If you want to be notified when more photos are put up, just create a user read more »

Cody Turns One

Tinkas — Mon, 23 May 2005 10:16:06 +0000

Well...I know this is a bit late but our nephew Cody has finally turned one! It all happened back in April, but I never had any special photos to put up so I didn't do anything about it until now.

As usual, Di took Cody to Sears for some snapshots and they stick them up on the web for everybody to look at and purchase (I hope they don't mind my stealing these couple of thumbnails to show). If anybody is interested, you can see the whole series and purchase prints, coffee mugs and a whole pile of other read more »
