Hooray for Ross & Michelle

Tinkas — Sat, 22 Apr 2006 10:38:43 +0000

A big congratulations to Ross & Michelle who have brought Logan into the world. Logan came out with all the proper bits in a nice and quick 4 1/2 hour labour, and apart from all the usual baby stuff Mom, Dad and Baby all seem to be doing fine. If your reading this Ross, give me more info like weight/size etc before Melly ear bashes me to bits!

Welcome to the world Eliza

Tinkas — Mon, 12 Dec 2005 12:27:00 +0000

Linda and Bruce delivered their little bundle of joy, Eliza Jayne on November 29 after what could be described (from what we have been told) as a heroic effort on Linda's behalf. After all the problems that they had encountered it was great that Eliza came along in the normal everyday fashion weighing in at a healthy 7lb 6oz.

It’s another boy

This must be the season for boys to be born. Pauline and Wes have recently given the world Liam. Big cheers for them. Liam was born a healthy weight even though he was prem and suffering from kidney problems. Lets hope that gets all fixed up and he can come home soon. From what Mel has said he is just cute as a button. Madeline is also very excited about having a little brother to play with.

Babies Update

Well...It seems I need to add more babies to the list! I found out today John and Chantelle are due about the same time we are, or just a few days before. And I completely forgot about Dave and Suze who are due around about now! I also forgot about Wes and Pauline who are having their second next week in not so desirable circumstances. Lets hope everything turns out well for them and little Madeline (our flower girl) gets a healthy baby brother or sister. Mel and I went to visit the Mercy Family Birth Centre on read more »

New Baby

Tinkas — Fri, 22 Jul 2005 04:48:40 +0000

On Wednesday July 20 at 11:58am (EST) our good friends Kris and Michel were blessed with the birth of a healthy baby boy - Jasper Daniel Kowalski (no relation to the swimmer).

He was 3.1kg (or 6lb 14oz for you oldies and those unfortunate enough to live in a country which hasn't adopted the metric system) and measured 48cm. Absloutely perfect.

Michel is doing well and is expected to be back home on Sunday.

We will try to keep putting up photos for those family members (not ours, the Cengia's) who are unfortunately not in Melbourne. There is a special read more »

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 »

Effie turns 20 again…

Tinkas — Wed, 25 May 2005 11:06:30 +0000

A couple of weekends ago (see...i'm getting better) our friend Effie turned 20 again. She had a bit of a bash at the local primary school hall and a huge crowd turned out to celebrate. Her husband Peter and his band Classic Covers played and I have to say they were awsesome. Lots of dancing, drinking and enough food to feed a small town made for a great night. I don't imagine anybody who attended would have anything to complain about, and those who couldn't make should be kicking themselves for missing a fantastic night. I put some photos read more »
