Claude(tte?)

(Blogger freaked out last week and ate my posts--this was supposed to post last Thursday or Friday!)

We have a new family member.

Actually, he's been here for a week already, and I haven't introduced him.  I feel a little bad for this.

So, without further ado, I would like to introduce Claude, the African Clawed Frog.  (He came with the name.)

After doing a little reading, though, I'm thinking that Claude is actually Claudette.  From what I've read, this frog is female.  She/he is 15 years old right now, and is about 5-6 inches long.  Very big!  The kids love their new friend, and Henry frequently sits at the basement table (on which Claude lives) to do his lessons.

Welcome to the family, Claude!
