Jarod's pre-school photo

Jarod has graduated from pre-school with flying colours..

Family resemblance

...compare these two photos ...



The first is my grand-daughter Liana at about 21 months; the second is my mother Laurel at around the same age. Scary, eh?

Now I want an early photo of my brother to compare with Jackson...

New photos of Mon, Scotty, Josiah, Liana and baby Amelie.

Latest photo of Tyler

Jenny says "that's exactly what he looks like". Well I would hope so!

Scotty

Taken on 20 August 2005, at Scotty's 30th birthday party. Scotty is the husband of our youngest daughter Mon. This photo was taken at Mon and Scotty's house (because that's where the party was) in Litchfield, Queanbeyan, NSW.

Josiah

Josiah on 4 November 2005 at his home in Litchfield, Queanbeyan, NSW just over the border from Canberra. He is finishing off an amazing drawing, all his own work.

Colin, Stephen, Geoff and Alan

Taken on 2 October 2005, the day of my mother's 80th birthday. We had the party at Alan's home in Coromandel Valley, Adelaide, SA. Pictured here are Alan's two children Colin and Stephen, me, and Alan checking his camera.

Lynette, Jenny, Geoff, Rosemary

The food frenzy continues and there's more to come! There's Lynette, who is my nephew Stephen's wife; my wife Jenny and me, and Rosemary who is "Aunty" Mary's daughter.

Alan, Laurel and Geoff

My brother Alan, my mother Laurel, and me, taken on 6 October 2005 in Belair National Park, Adelaide SA.

Laurel, Mary and Maxine

Taken on 2 October 2005 at my mother's 80th party at Alan and Maxine's home, is Laurel my mother, Laurels step-mother Mary (although we all call her "aunty"), and Alan's wife Maxine.

Maxine and Alan

Hosts Maxine and Alan (my sister-in-law and my brother) on 2 October 2005.

Rosemary, Milton, Laurel, and David

On 2 October 2005 at Coromandel Valley, Adelaide, SA it's Rosemary, my uncle Milton, my mother Laurel, and my uncle David. Milton is Laurel's younger brother and David is Laurel's older brother. Rosemary would be officially Laurel's step-sister (I think!) but again, because she is my age (more or less!) I consider her "family" and leave it at that!

BB1

Taken on 3 October 2005, we left "BB1" with Laurel and took his twin "BB2" home with us. ("BB" stands for "Ben Bear", if you really want to know).
The main birthday present for Laurel was the holiday we went on at Port Elliot (hence the book).
But we do hope BB1 is being well looked after...

Geoff & Laurel

More food frenzy. Taken on 29 September 2005 at the pub at Port Eliot, SA, me and my mum at dinner time. Jenny says she doesn't like this photo, but she took it! I think it's funny!

Laurel & Geoff

OK is this one better? Taken on 6 September 2005 at Elizabeth, Adelaide, SA. I have been raiding my father's tie drawer as we do some cleaning up around the house. The tie I am wearing is mine so my father's ties won't look any more outlandish!

Riki

Taken at home at Holt, Canberra, ACT on 20 August 2005.
Me and my cat!
















We caught Riki unawares curled up in the grandchildren's soft toy basket. Riki! That's not meant for you! Taken at home on 19 October 2005.
