Our Family Is Growing!

Gotcha again. No baby news here.

Instead, I'd like to introduce the newest member of our family....

-----
Frankenstein
(obviously named by the shortest member of our family)
-----

It was only logical that we start adding pets to our household, right? I mean, by the time I was in high school, we had already enjoyed dogs, bunnies, gerbils, hamsters, chameleons, parakeets and fish. And Drew is already almost 3! Poor Derek. He only had one dog growing up and that's it for pets. Little did he know he was marrying into a family of animal lovers. 

And if you've been following for a while, I do complain about the dogs a lot. But a fish can't blow stanky breath on you, not to mention you don't have to clean up puke or butt scoot stains. Plus, if Frankenstein happens to leave this earth early, I can buy his brother for $2. Drew picked out a black one despite all of the bright orange and white colored goldfish, but the thing does have a pretty shimmer. He has also taken over the responsibility of feeding for him and quite enjoys when Frankie drops a load in the water. Drew loves his new fish and it's super easy for us to maintain. 

It's the perfect first pet.

My mom found the picture below of our fish growing up; Goldie. 
The thing lived forever and grew to like 6 inches long.

  8. We bought Henry a fish about a year ago and he loved the thing. Then we found that he'd drowned by somehow getting himself stuck beneath his fake plant. It was odd and Henry, thankfully, never noticed a difference. They make great pets at this age, especially since they're easily replaceable!

    Em had a fish then we moved and my parents kept it. I've been debating on getting her a new one! Love his name.

  10. How fun! If ever there is baby news you should definitely let Drew do the naming, he seems to have a knack for it.
