New Addition to the Family

Meet "Biggie," the tiniest little fish you've ever seen, who was gifted to us as a treat at last weeks ward Halloween party. Let's be honest, I thought there was no way this fish was going to stay alive in our home. On his second day here, Will poured a bottle of hand lotion into the pitcher he was living in, "for his bekfast, mommy!" On his fourth day here, the boys were still infatuated, so we went and bought some food for him. A week after his arrival, he received a luxurious new home: this Walmart-special fish bowl, complete with a playyard. They boys love him, and I find myself talking to him throughout my day, since he lives in the kitchen. I guess he's here to stay!

Hey, our ward pulled the same trick on us by handing out goldfish as prizes. Eliza's died the next day (which led to significant tears), but Allie's looked like a fighter. We weren't as nice as you...we convinced her he'd be happier in the wild and took a family walk down to the creek to "free Willy." Here's hoping yours lasts a long time! Cool photo too.

Too cute! Your fish has lasted longer than Ellie's.... our fish only lasted two days! It is kinda fun having a fish though.. right? A little bit easier than a puppy.

You talk to your fish? How funny... You must be the friendliest lady ever. How is it to have Alan in his own practice... how about a post on it?
