Going on a Frog Hunt

Last week Andrew did a news story covering the new monitoring buoy that was about to be put in Lake Taupo. He was out at five mile bay shooting footage of the technicians hooking it up to the helicopter. He could hear lots of frogs, so on Thursday him and Charlotte went on a frog hunt. They stopped first at the toy shop to buy a net and then it was off on the adventure.

They spent over an hour hunting out frogs and tadpoles. Charlotte had a great time.

After they got home they rang me at work to tell me all about it. When I asked Charlotte if she had seen any frogs she told me that she tickled their bottoms. Andrew had to explain that they used pieces of grass to tickle to the frogs to make them jump.

We went back as a family on Saturday after swimming lessons to hunt down some more frogs. The pictures were taken then.

I'm Back

Well after 8 months of not writing I thought I should start again. I will not bore you with what we have been doing for the last months, but in case you have missed out on the news we are expecting baby number two. Jellybean as it has been nicknamed is due in 7 weeks time.

Charlotte has been a bit unwell over the past month and a half. She has had two seizures, one of which ended in an overnight hospital stay and she has also had the chicken pox. We are off to the hospital tomorrow for a follow up visit on the seizures.

Not long now until the big man dressed in red comes to visit. Charlotte isn't that keen on him in person, but points out all the pictures of him the junk mail. She started calling him Christmas, but has learnt that his name is Santa. Santa is bringing her a bike (shh don't her).

Well I don't want you getting too excited that I am back posting again. But I promise it won't be 8 months before the next post.
