This is now less of a links page, because (horror of horrors!) I now have a ridgy-didge, full blown

The Delahoy Family Photo Album
|
Okay, this is a really corny use of my valuable web space, but, what the hay. I'm proud
of my family, so why shouldn't I show 'em off? Some of these photos are getting a little
old now, but I expect that will change in the near future, now that we have a new camera
and all!
Wanna know just how corny I can get? Well how about this? I actually use some of these piccies as graphical backgrounds on my computer workbench - just so I can be reminded how lucky I am, even when I'm working on the computer all night. If you're really interested, you can click on the small thumbnail pics for a larger view, though God only knows why you'd want to! | ||||

Lauren and Hannah deck the halls, Christmas 1997. That's Hannah
with the facial hair problem. | We holidayed in Adelaide in 1997. Here Lauren, Louise and Hannah enjoy an ice cream at Glenelg beach. | 
| |
 |
Hannah, Warrior Princess When Lauren and Hannah play Xena, Hannah usually plays Gabrielle. Here she auditions for the lead by demonstrating her prowess with bow and arrow. |
Lauren, Warrior Princess There was no frisbee handy (to double for a chakram), but Lauren was just as handy with the archery. Holidays in NSW, 1997. |
| |
 |
Not one of Lauren's better looks ... | Adelaide again, 1997 again, and Glenelg beach again. Lauren and Hannah waaaaay up high in the ferris wheel. And I mean really high! | 
| |
 |
Me, looking suitably windswept along the Great Ocean Road,
one of Victoria's best attractions (the coast road, not me...) | Louise and our youngest daughter, Hannah, on her first day of kindergarten, February, 1996. | 
| |
 |
Lauren and Hannah were the world's cutest ballerinas when
they did dancing classes in 1996. This is their presentation night. | Louise's turn to look windswept. She does it a lot better than me. | 
| |
 |
More of the Great Ocean Road. That's me way down the bottom there. | Me and me mum - bargain hunting at the Port Fairy craft market. | 
| |
 |
Hannah's first day of real school, starting preps in February 1997 | Same day, a group photo: Louise, Lauren, Hannah and myself. | 
| |
 |
Christmas 1995, Louise's sister Lisa and her family joined us from
Sydney. In this group hug is our daughter Lauren, Lisa, and her
step-daughter, Chantelle. | When we holidayed in NSW in 1997, we all went horse riding. I've been on horseback countless times, but it was the first time for Louise, Lauren and Hannah. Lauren liked it so much she paid for another ride herself, and this photo is thus of her first solo horseride. | 
| |
 |
This would be around 1995/1996 - a portrait of Hannah and
myself, and Lauren probably took it. | If this isn't just one of the cutest shots ever taken. Lauren and Hannah, fast asleep, circa 1995/1996. | 
| |
 |
Back row: Louise's Grandfather (Hector McBride), Louise, Louise's
grandmother (Edith McBride). Front row: Hannah and Lauren. Circa 1997, taken at Tower Hill. | Lauren at the entrance to one of the many lava caves at nearby Mount Eccles (Dec 1998). The girls were a little tentative at first, but soon got into the swing of it and ended up getting quite adventurous. | 
| |
 |
Overlooking the crater lake at Mount Eccles. It was December (1998), but
it was still freezing cold - someone at the weather bureau obviously
forgot that December is supposed to be the start of summer! | |||
 |
Christmas 1990. Soona was 11, Lauren was 2 and a half months old, and we were all just days away from moving out of Melbourne to Port Fairy. | In 1994 Hannah burned her leg with hot water. I think it hurt us just seeing her in these bandages more than it hurt her! She was very brave throughout the whole ordeal. | 
| |
 |
These are our two youngest, Hannah (now 5) and Lauren (now 7). Enjoying the summer sun last January at our beautiful seaside home in Port Fairy. | This is the youngest, Hannah, sitting on my shoulders at Port Fairy's New Year's Eve parade (31/12/96). So she was just a few weeks short of her fifth birthday. | 
| |
 |
One of Lauren's kinda photos, taken in 1995. Practising that cheeky grin... :-) | Lauren and some school friends dressing up, 1996. From left to right, Emma Dalton, Stephanie Landy, Tahnee Duncan-Leishman, & Lauren. | 
| |
 |
This one of Hannah was taken late in 1996, while she was at Kinda, and still four years old. | This is Lauren. She's actually pretty angry with me now, because I cropped her friend out of this photo. Better get back to the scanner and put her back in! Lauren would be six in this photo. | 
| |
 |
Santa Clause is coming to town ... and looking a little worse for wear! Hannah and Lauren meet Santa at Port Fairy, December 1996. | Deck the halls! Lauren and Hannah decorate the tree, December 1996. | 
| |
 |
This is a really early pic of Lauren, taken when she was around six months old, in early 1991. | This is a more recent photo of our eldest daughter, Soona. This - and the next one - were obviously taken by a professional photographer. Soona had actually been getting a bit of modelling work, and this was the result. We're obviously very proud, and we reckon she has a future ... | 
| |
|
This is Soona's Michelle Pfieffer look! So if you are in need of a (naturally!) stunning photographic model, let us know! | This is Yuko Inoue, a friend of ours from Japan. Yuko stayed with us for a few weeks while she worked at our daughters' school. The girls (and the rest of us) really fell for her! |
