Announcement

John and I would like to announce a new addition to our family.  We are the new parents of a Betta fish, affectionately dubbed Gameliel or Gam for short.  He came into our lives as the table centerpiece at a wedding we attended this weekend, and we are already quite attached.  He’s much happier now that I transported him from the vase he came in to a new little abode just for him.  Now he has room to flit and stretch his fins.  We are so proud!

 

And just for fun, here’s a picture of the proud parents having a night out at the wedding.  I guess with this new responsibility, we won’t have as many opportunities to go out.  Don’t worry, we’ll make date night a priority and keep the love-flame alive.

A fish is a great addition to your lives. Frank has brought us such joy. Congratulations, you two!!

Congratulations! Those are some nice pics of your family. I’m glad you guys are taking on this additional responsibility - tell me, did you test yourself on houseplants before you got Gameliel? I was once told that I would not be allowed to have children unless I could first keep a plant alive for at least a year. I’m sure the same rule should apply to fish or pets of any kind. But no matter, good luck with Gam & I hope you’ve been able to work his feedings/care into a schedule by now ;-)

Hee, hee! Mary Ann, thank you. Actually, I haven’t had much success with houseplants, so I hope that isn’t a sign. I had a bit of a scare this morning because Gam was in the same place in his tank (under the plant) as he was last night when I went to bed. But as soon as I fed him he moved to the surface again.

Yes, we are working on a schedule… now if we could only get him to sleep through the night!

Ruth, he’s so cute, but please don’t expect this grandma to send gifts.
