New addition to the family


Yes, we have a new member to our little group. He is a beta fish that Big Otis brought home yesterday. He says that he was walking through the store and thought "Otis needs a fish". Now, I have walked through that very same store many times, and have never thought that. But Otis did, and there we have it, a fish. His name: Swirly Otis. Why you ask?(I did) Little Otis explained this very logically to me. Swirly, because he was swimming around and around in the bowl. Otis because everyone in this house is named Otis, so he should be too. Makes sense to me. So Swirly Otis it is. I am a little worried that when you ask him how his fish is, he says, "its not dying". This may be too much for a 4 1/2 year old. But so far so good.

Otherwise, everyone else in the family is doing well. Payton wants to walk and eat everything. He's growing so fast. I'm getting ready to plan his first birthday party. It hardly seems possible.... A whole year. I feel so blessed to have them both and am thankful everyday.

Okay beta fish are hard to kill...I know we've had Erin's for three years now. But then when you think about where they originate from...a sewage canal in the orient.. It doesn't make me feel too bad when I forget to clean the bowl. :) In about a week Lil' O will have forgot him, and BECKY will have a new pet!!! :) Maybe we can put Lemo and Swirly together!! *weg*
