our newest family members

We are excited to introduce you to our newest family members: Jasmine & Nemo. They're a little shy so it was tough to capture them in the photo but Jasmine is the larger white goldfish with a gold stripe on top and Nemo is the smaller all gold, goldfish.

This is OM preparing Jasmine and Nemo's new home. Owen picked out the shark sculpture and Maya the pink rocks. I remembered the food.

Notice how Owen has a lollipop and Maya doesn't? They both got one at the pharmacist today and Maya had chomped hers down by the time we got to the fish store, Owen's is, at this moment, resting in a bowl to save the rest for another day. :)

See Star outside? She's banished until we can get rid of her foul-smelling dead fish odor that covers her entire body. She escaped yesterday and rolled in something awful and despite a bath and a coffee drench/massage this morning she still reeks. Star!

Uniqua was cold so M gave her a blankey.
