A New Home for the Froggies

 Baby Jack has arrived - the first grandson of Robin's sister Kaye and her husband Jan.  That was certainly exciting news and we caught up with Kaye for lunch while she was staying with the new parents and baby to offer a helping hand.  Luckily I had a baby quilt  tucked away for a new arrival, wrapped it up and took it to our lunch date. 


What's in the parcel?

 Robin's younger brother Gary and his wife Debbie came along for lunch too, and Kaye was sitting inside at the table waiting for us.  So it was quite a nice family reunion.  As always, we dithered over the menu, and checked out the cabinet food, eventually making our lunch choices.  It had been some time since we had caught up with Kaye, who lives in the South Island, so there was plenty to chat about.  

Three siblings, Robin, Kaye and Gary

Finally it was time to head back to our respective homes, and Kaye had promised the new Mum a roast meal so she had to hurry back as well, taking the parcel with her.  The froggies had found a new home, and will now live happily with baby Jack.


Goodbye froggies

Our niece Hannah has sent a message thanking me for the gift.  I'm just so pleased I had a cute little quilt to pass on to the youngest member of the family.
