A BIG THANKS TO ALL

I had to shout, because it's a long way to where this message needs to travel.
Bj, Larry and Quin welcomed their aged parents yesterday into the land of Southern Tasmania, and were pretty well overwhelmed with gifts etc.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all who lavished their well wishes and gifts upon us.
From West (Oz) to North (Canada) and everywhere else, Thanks guys.

We think the little guy had a growth spurt yesterday and he is doing really well.
Bj and I are looking forward to catching up on sleep one day, however (maybe ma and pa can felicitate that).
ps, Tash, God's blessing on your mocks, go get em.

And then some more again cos i'm a Picasa (user)

Well, Sarah, check this out! Here are some long awaited photos portraying in landscape mode a group of friends and raletions, namely Winnie the pooh and tigger too, and eyeore looking decidedly joyful, and of course piglet. Also find some verrry interesting photos from last Sunday. I think we have far too much fun at church! Oh, by the way, you can sort of get an idea of one corner of the baby room. More (Pooh) corners to come! :p

Quinlan with Opa and Oma and more...

Hey guys, here are some more piccies of Quinlan, at his baptism, and just some random shots around the place, so ya get a feel for the way he is making himself at home.

A Sign of the Covenant

Sunday 14th September 2008, and Quinlan Bryce Huizinga received the sign and seal of God's love and faithfulness promised to him.

He was fitted out for the occasion with a splendid robe of white, made by Aunty Janice :)

See the photos for more details,

We had a lovely day and thanks to all those who came down to visit!

Bub shows off :)

Hey, thought i'd just update.
We are very thankful so far. Quinlan is feeding well, bathing well, and is doing his level best to be one of the cutest babies ever...

Anyhow, a photographer took some photos of him; they put pictures of new babies in the Mercury every Tuesday.

Here are some photos of the dear little man doing the rounds with:

Opa

Oma,

His Hobart Granny (Eg)

with the lovely mother looking on,

and the proudest Dad you ever laid eyes upon.

Love, LnB

Quinlan Bryce Huizinga

Larry & Bj would like to welcome young Quinlan Bryce into the world.

He weighed 6lb 12oz
Arriving at 5:12pm on 28 August 2008.

All is well with mother and son (and father:)).

Praise be to our God and Father for this wonderful blessing.
More to come later...

Strange Autos on Montrose Track - Mt Wellington

Hey Guys.

Sean and I walked the dogs up Montrose Track which goes up from Glenorchy to Mt Wellington Park. We had a great time, and we were stunned when we fell upon the old vehicle shells in the valley. We couldn't reist some cool photos.

Hobart in Winter & Recollections of Sunny Days

G'day Folks.
Lately Things are rather the opposite of hotting up here in Hobart.
Snow is on the mountains again and it's Fareeezing.

In July I went to WA as a respite from all the preparations for the new arrival.
I played supergolf with the Huizinga clan (apart from Diana who was with Jess on a European tour).

I really need to add more to this blog, although it seems more shall be forthcoming in the next few months (read years).

Bj is staying at home most days now and every complaint she has gives me goose bumps as we don't really know whether or not it's the latent phase of giving birth (now if you have been to a ante/pre/post/ natal class you would know what that means).

Winter is very cold in Hobart despite what people say, and Gas Fitters are temperamental.
We got an outrageous quote from one guy who was really nice, for connecting all appliances etc,
and then we haven't heard back from another guy who was a little more grumpy, but still ok (judging by the dogs demeanour around him), who reckons his company could do it far cheaper than that...

Complex, I know, but meanwhile we sit in the cold. Cold, but still holding on to our cold hard cash.
However, do not fret (especially parental units reading this), as we have two perfectly functional electric heaters and blinds in the lounge now to hold heat in.

Well i'll sign off now and might add some photos later.

We went to Gerard and Elizabeths cool Birthday Party

Rachel & Ian's Kids turned three the other day, and we were invited to say Happy Birthday. The highLIGHT was the icecream cake in the shape of Antarctica. C0mplete with edible chocolate penguins and (not very good for you) blue jelly ocean.

They are doing fine, and we go over every now and again and compare notes on our vegie gardens...L

SPUD

Slobberingly faithful,
Pawing at our hearts,
Underneath our feet,
Dog.
