Bob is back!

When we first moved into this house, six years ago, we found a tiny tree frog in the back yard. We quickly adopted "him" as a pet and Nick, then 4 years old and a huge fan of "Bob the Builder" named him "Bob the frog". We kept him for a while, feeding him crickets purchased at the pet store and then after several months we let him go. We told the children he needed to go back to live with his family and he missed them. Every year since in the fall we find another tree frog and of course the kids love to think that is our good ol' Bob coming back for a visit.

Here is our newest Bob I found in the garden and Nathan, Nick and I were harvesting and cleaning it out. Ben and Andrew were particularly excited!

And, yes, that is Tatiana's hair. It was still wildly pink from the school party the day before and she wanted it to be wilder that night for Trick-or-treating so she wasn't washing it yet.

I remember Bob and Nick showing him to me and Greg when we had lunch at your house! Wow!
