First Mothers’ Day: For new mum Kaely (holding her son), and husband Zoeb, Sunday was the first Mother’s Day celebration as six-month-old Zayd has just arrived in their lives. The couple have just moved to Rochester and were paid a special Mother’s Day visit by Melbourne friends Marina and Yan Malobrodski.
Mum’s special day: Carol Worledge, from Rochester, and Rod Sargent, from Berrigan (front), with Carol’s son Symon (right) and daughter Symone (with her husband George) at the Criterion Hotel in Rochester on Sunday.
Three generations: Shannon Herne (fron left) and son Luke (back left), from Rochester, with Luke’s fiancée Tammy and son Xander with Midge McHarg and her son Pete. They were among the many families to enjoy the special day at the Criterion Hotel.
Centre of attention: Debby Wilson (front with fiancé Nathan Piera) and her two daughters, Melissa Versteegen and Shannon Mulhall, enjoyed Mother’s Day with Debby’s son Michael (back right) and son in law Chris Versteegen.
Family fun: Lockington’s Charlie Neilson and Simon Morris, with children Haylee, Iziek and Sofia Neilson-Morris, at Rochester Hotel’s Mother’s Day luncheon. Charlie received han- made soap from Haylee, bath salts fro Iziek and lots of cards.
