Mourning the loss...

Sadly, Elfie (or, Chad) the fish has passed away.

After I got the text from Jake, I called the house to find out what was going on. Ryan got on the phone and said, "Mommy, Elfie is sideways!" I tried not to laugh much because the way he said it was so cute so I said, "Sideways? What's he doing?" Ryan said, "Um....maybe killing." (I think he meant dying.) And then he was sidetracked by the snail on the sidewalk and didn't want to talk anymore.

We noticed yesterday that Elfie was swimming a little slower and not really reacting to the fish food sprinkled in his bowl.

And so we move on...maybe more fish are in our future!?
