Tomorrow Daniel goes back to the doctor to see if his broken colar bone is getting better (I hope it is). We got him a bike for his birthday but he cannot ride it with only one arm. Tomorrow I want you to meet a very good friend of mine. We are meeting at a cafe so I will get him to say "hello" to you.

Please leave some comments on this Blog and ask me questions.
See you tomorrow!

My first Post

Annalise was 5 years old yesterday and Daniel is 3 today. We have been very busy with birthday parties and buying presents. This year is extra special because in New Zealand you start school when you are 5 so yesterday was Annalise's first day at school. The photo (left) is her leaving for school for the first time. She had a great day! Can you remember your first day at school?

Yesterday I also took Annalise to her swimming lesson. The swimming school is called "Froggies". I took a photo of Annalise before her lesson. Do you think she looks like a frog?

I want to put lots of videos on this blog because listening is so important for learning English. So watch this video of my kids . What happened to Daniel? Where is my wife Rosalind? What is Annalise going to do?
