Quinlan photos, his half birthday and the promised red cast photos

This week I started work at the Hobart Call centre for Centrelink; after last week applying to Centrelink for Newstart allowance (incapacitated) they promptly decided to give me a job.

Well, it wasn't quite like that but hey.

It's actually quite interesting and we get to give people some good news about the new household stimulus packages.

Like I said in the last post, I broke a bone in my hand (scaphoid) and here is a picture I my good self earlier this morning reading W the P to Q with cast on show.

Here are some more recent photographs of the boy Quinlan.

And the other week we were at the symphony under the stars. I wasn't really aware that we got these cool shots. Bj is actually quite good at capturing these moments.

Collages and Squished Vegies or: The Scourge of the Scaphoids or: Slava and our Smiley Son at the Symphony

Here are some of the things we have been up to lately.
We being Quinlan and the rest of us. He generally drags us parents around town, seeing who he is able to charm. This being most people.
Obviously from the photos he is being bottle fed now, as well as eating healthy squished vegies and apple.

His ol dad broke his scaphoid bone in his right hand playing indoor soccer (the beautiful game) and is incapacitated somewhat at the moment (I did type this literature however).
Mr Q is good to have around to ease the boredom, and to breathe some laughter into the bones.

Photos of the burgundy, wine coloured (not pink) cast swathed arm will follow.
Well, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves and go in search of some sympathy.
In other news, we did go on Saturday night to the TSO Symphony under the stars at Tolosa St Park with some friends and the little Q man. This was the evening after m'self having broken me scaphoid. Twas a regular highlight event with Slava Gregorian playing guitar and we got to hear some fine notes.
In other news, I can still play my baritone. Yay!
Bj is having fun taking Quinlan to Mothers group every Tuesday (I'm not allowed to go for some reason).

Festive Frivolity and Falalala lala la la

Hey Peoples.

Well today is ChristMas day and I've found some time to myself. Well to myself and the virus ridden Postmus computer...

Bj, Quinlan (who features in the above shots because we haven't shown him off for a while), Spud and I drove up yesterday to the Northern Lights of Lonnie; after tidying up our house which to our consternation is actually spotless. Ian, Rachel and Kids are staying in our house in Hobart while visiting with Bro & Sis In laws for their Xmas time together.

Anyway, we Went to the Xmas service this am where Rev Eikelboom talked of the artistic liberality of musicians and artists portraying Christmas, as well as the idea that Shepherds were the lowliest of persons in Jesus' day, and if God's peace extends to them, it extends to us all. Good also to spend time with Lonnie folk every weekend and again.

Well, This arvo is a Xmas dinner at Suzies and tomorrow boxing day festivities etc etc etc etc.

Grandma and Grandad

What are those two looking at?
Is it the rogue potatoes that decided to come up?
Is it the design of a you beaut only fixed it 10 times irrigation scheme?
Or is it the lettuce that i just finished standing on, coz the garden was way too full of little seedlings.

Anyway, Dad knew exactly where every plant was in that patch. He basically reconstructed the surface and substrate soil and did a marvellous job. Hopefully we can sample some of the fruits this summer. He may be interested to know that we also planted an apricot tree at the Y of the back garden.
We may give yas some updates on the growth in said patch, when said growth appears via the digital photo means one day.

Bj and I had a great time with G & G even though we all went through some hardship or other such as colds, flus, headaches, etc. It was so quiet the days after Mum & Dad were gone.
And above, you see Quinlan being very photogenic, as well as telling Grandma a very long story.
He was telling her how it was great to have someone else to push the pram and to console him.

Don't worry Quinlan. Diana and Tash are coming soon...

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:
