Hey, Kids!

I miss you a whole bunch!

I am in a country called New Zealand right now.  It's on the other side of the world!  It is a very pretty country and the people here are all very nice.  Maybe someday we can all come down here together as a family.  You would really like it!

But we have to be very careful when we cross the street.  We can't look left, then right, for cars coming.  We have to look right first, and THEN left, because everyone drives on the "wrong" side of the road here!

I really liked the videos you made for me - it was fun to see you again! :-)   I like what you are learning about sharks, Grey.  They are very special animals.  I know something about them, too!  Sharks are "isotonic".  (Grey, tell Mommy not to roll her eyes at me!)  Isotonic means that their bodies have the same amount of salt inside of them as the saltwater that they live in.  What that means for them, is, that they their skin doesn't get all wrinkly like yours does when you've been in the bathtub for a long time!  Can you imagine how silly a shark would look if he had all wrinkly skin from being in his water for too long?!  That'd be funny, huh?

I have to go to school now, but when I come back I'll try to send you some pictures that I took.  I think you will really like them!

I love you all very, very much!

Love,
Daddy
