Another beautiful Grand daughter

On 31st January 2015 we welcomed another gorgeous little girl into the Heinrich Family. Lizette Adele Heinrich is the beautiful baby daughter of Julz and Nathan. Big sister, Lexie and big brother Mitchell are smitten with their sister.

Arrival of Miss Rory Eve Heinrich

On the 18th January 2015 Miss Rory Eve Heinrich arrived into the world and our ever growing family. Jack and Will were very excited to meet their little sister, Lucy just wanted to go and see Mum and find Dad. She didn't appear too fussed by the whole deal. But she was interested in the little bundle.

Kongal Rocks Adventure

 Honor and Flynn came for a farm visit during January and while they were here some of the family claimed that they had not been to Kongal Rocks. Shame Ma ma & Pa, so to redeem ourselves we decided to have an outing to the rocks for a picnic lunch and some adventures.

Next day was Old Pa's 87th Birthday and it was a special time for him. He had plenty of  great grandies about to help blow out his candles

The Festive Season

Christmas time is always a wonderful time for family to gather to celebrate the birth of our Lord. We were fortunate to all the family home this year so we had lots of noise, children, laughter, food and fun .

November Birthdays

November is a busy month with Birthdays and off we went again to Sydney to visit the birthday girls. I caught a ride with Lou, Steve and boys from Echuca and had a wonderful time.

 A must lunch stop at the old trains at Donald. A chance for Toby and Beau to climb up and be train drivers for a short while

Relle had some wonderful activities to do while we were visiting and one of them was Rock Climbing.

 I knew we had some monkeys in the family and this proved it!!!

 La having the time of her life

 Lou was happy to show us her climbing skills

 Steve loves a challenge

 Toby got the hang of it and enjoyed himself

 Couldn't keep the smile off this little one's face. Well done Leyla!

On a very hot day, 46 degrees, Alara had her birthday at the Roller Skate Rink with lots of her little friends. They had a wonderful time rolling around and around the rink, and playing games. 

 Time for party food and Birthday Cake

 Later in the day we celebrated Leyla's 2nd Birthday with a beautiful swimming pool cake

 Steve was with us this year, we were able to celebrate his birthday in person. We went to "Spurs" for a wonderful birthday meal.

On our way home they dropped mama off at Julz and Nathan's so I could help Lexie celebrate her 8th Birthday

The weather the next day was quite warm so it was a good excuse to get wet and water the lawn.

Thanks to all for a wonderful time.
