Hello everyone! Just wanted to wish you all a very blessed 2011 from us in Australia. May our Heavenly Father guide you and keep you in this new year as He has done in the past. May we all continue to look to Him for all things!

I tried to put more pictures on, but this time it is taking tooooo long, so I will have to add some more in the morning. Sorry about that! See you all in the morning!

Opa and Oma with the Aussie grandkids. Not bad eh!

Henri and Dwayne - cute aren't they!

Mary and Eric and their crew - lovely bunch, aren't they!

A pelican looking for some grub! Angelina wasn't a bit afraid. (see if you can spot the transvestite!)

Having a picnic by the ocean in Mandurah!

Lots of Aussie Water

Swimming in the ocean - off of a deep sea fishing boat - the fish weren't biting, so might as well go for a dip. The men all went fishing for a day and had a great time!

Launching the boat in the ocean!

Picking the boat up - great fun!

Visiting Ben and Marja for the afternoon!!!!

Taking a dip in the pool at the house Ben and Marja are staying at!

Christmas Day in Aussie!

Here Johnny was the Christmas clown - entertaining the kids and handing out lollies!

Some of the beach crowd!

Pap entertaining!!!!!!!

Ezra on an excursion!

Another picture of part of the crowd!!! Was heaps of fun - but sure different than the cozy white Christmas in Canada. Here we had a barbeque and a wonderful swim in the Ocean!!

At Henri & Dwayne's

On Monday - we travelled to Henri & Dwayne's in Albany for a few days, to check out their new place. Nice home - nice and roomy and much nicer then their last house. Was much cooler weather there, cloudy and it rained a bit. Much more lush, since they get more rain. Anyway, here is Henri with little Tess!

If you're small, you need lots of hugs and kisses.

Some of the rearranged livingroom - will have to take a picture of the finished result, we had lots of fun that day, the kitchen and livingroom were all upside down and at one point you think, are we getting somewhere or what. But it turned out good, don't you think?

Pap playing with Angelina (Thomas the train) in the playroom.

More of the wedding

Here Freek is with the bride and his two buddies - they were placed together at the supper table and were called the triplets. Can you see the resemblance?

Here they are - the three stooges - so neat that they just continue where they left off about 38 years ago!

The barbequers at the wedding - we were served steak, lamb chops and boerewors - it was delicious guys!

We had someone quickly take a picture of us after the wedding - only Vincy is peeking from behind Eric's back.

The happy couple - he was all dressed in his Marine regala - they were a stunning couple.
