Update: July 31st 2001

G'day friends and visitors. It's been a long time since we've updated the website, but things were getting kinda hectic lately. As many would now know, Lionel had heart valve surgery in mid-July. All has gone well and now that he has some time and is restricted to light duties, website management has had it's day.











There are a few photos from the old site which we couldn't let go, so they've stayed.

The one of both kids at about seven months old. This had to stay!













Here is Dayna in early 2000 during a local parade.









Dayna at her 5th birthday. What a princess! But you can't have your crown and eat it too!









cousin Tikka, Dayna, and Asher









Dayna and cousins Ely and Joel.









Karen's new look.









Dayna and cousin Sheldon, down from Sydney. Jesse was at that unphotogenic age where facial contortions dominated in the presence of a camera, so he misses out.









Asher is two. Loves anything with wheels. He still doesn't talk much but prefers to mimic sounds. Words that describe sounds are also a hit. His latest is "burp"









This is the yummiest teddy.









The kids have a harmonious co-existence here.









Dayna and her Kinder friend Sarah

Lionel in intensive care post-op. Still can't get over the number of tubes and wires which go into the body, into cavities, blood vessels etc. The blue thing which enters the neck just below the ear carries wires which travel down the blood vessel to the inside of the heart to monitor heart action. They juggled the position of the ends of the wires by drawing out the colour coded wires (inside the snaky plastic tube). The specimen jar holds the old faulty valve.

Lionel cuddles his doctor and says "Thank-you"









Daddy comes home.







Listen to Asher read a book.
