Weekend at the Beach

With the weather heating up and the Australia Day long weekend, we decided it was time we spent some time at the beach.

Uncle Bing came down for the day to cool off

Sleepings what Toby does best

Its a hard life being a baby - but they are cute!

Especially Toby (biased mother!)

Sleeping is Toby's favourite thing along with feeding and bathtime

Stripes are in this season - didnt you know?

Toby- always the trendsetter

Awwwww! Too Cute

Cuddles with Poppy Hop

Poppy Hop and Nana Sue came over to Ma ma and Pa's for tea before Relle and Alara flew home and once again a child was thrust into the arms of Hop. Holding babies is not a natural occurence for Hop - it only seems to happen when there are Heinrich kids around.

Kristen comes for a visit

On Wednesday we were graced by the presence of Kristen in our home, a big luncheon was held in aid of this and we also celebrated Kristen's birthday -albeit a couple days early.

Unlike many childhood photos of Kristen and her cake,

she is actually smiling in this picture!

(It was always the norm for Kristen to be either crying or cranky in her birthday picture!)

Once again the little princess' -Alara and Kida, give a helping hand to blow out the candles

Happy Birthday Kristen!!

Relle is a year older

Once again on January 8th Narelle turned one year older,

although if you ask her she is 28 yrs old and will always be!

Lexie and Alara come to play

With Ma ma having a sleepover at our house, Lexie and Alara came over for a visit to spend time with bubby Toby, Aunty Lou and Ma ma.

Nana Marj's Birthday

On January 5th, Nana Marj celebrated her 93rd birthday. A cuddle with her latest grandchild was the best gift she received
