Oh mother! Thank you, but. Did you SEARCH for the most hideous photos you could find?? Maybe you should note that in the top right (where I am stealing mulberries from Nelson Mandela's house in Soweto) I had no hair. And all the ones where my hair is ORANGE - was the baldness growing out. There needs to be some excuse for such foulness....

Happy birthday to Dad also.

Happy Birthday to both of you! Alice you have a nice looking family.

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RICHARD AND TANYA!!!
Such beautiful family pictures Alice.
Tanya....the bald, and then orange head/hair sounds like a subject that needs to be explained on your blog!! :)
For all the yanks reading this post.....'nursing' means 'holding' in Aussie speak. I got myself into a funny situation when my youngest was born over here in the US because 'nursing' here means breastfeeding :) I asked a visiting lady...would you to 'nurse' the baby? She said, 'Oh, I don't think I'm properly equipped!' It was an amusing moment :) There are some funny differences in the language!

Thats funny, the nursing bit..... I was questioning that too....and Tanya those pictures are not hideous.....there precious.... just so Richard isn't slighted, his pictures were precious too.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANYA AND RICHARD...

Happy birthday, you two! Love the timeline collage.

And I remember my mother visiting here after the birth of my first son, and wondering about the "nursing" bit too! Brings back the memories.

Those are precious pictures of your family...you must be very proud.

Happy Birthday to Tanya & Richard.

Kerry...thanks for the explanation on nursing...I was wondering what was meant too.

Miss Robyn said...

Being a Yank/Canuck, I would have interpeted nursing as breastfeeding. However I know now to ask when something doesn't quite sound right. Glad Kerri mentioned that. Funny all the little diferences.

Tanya looks like her Dad. What a great Family.

Alice said...

Tanya dear - I didn't have to SEARCH for hideous photos - they're everywhere.... just kidding!

I hope you realise that now that the whole world has photographic evidence of your crime of theft against Nelson Mandela, you will never be able to return to South Africa!

I hope your birthday celebration was a good one. We'll drink a toast to you on Thursday night when we go out for dinner for Dad's birthday. Love you - XXX

Happy Birthday Tanya and Richard! Hope you had a great day!

I meant to say 'When our OLDEST (that would be Kylie) was born over here in the US. Our youngest (Kathy) was born in OZ.
And I left out ....'like...to nurse the baby?'
Half asleep perhaps :)
