An Animated GIF

I was playing around, and I found an article on making an animated gif in Photoshop. It's actually not too difficult to do. I've made a turkey and a Christmas tree.

Rampant Breeding in Our Tank

Not only do we have little Mollies in our tank. We apparently have dozens of little snails. Our small innocent snail, Monty, has apparently laid eggs and left its young to wander the tank.

More Mollies

Cass chose Mollies for some of her first fish. The fat Molly that she chose from the pet store wasn't fat, it was pregnant. We now have about ten Molly fry separated in a net breeder. There were probably quite a few more, but the other fish had a hardy snack. If I was confident that we would keep all of our other fish alive, I would let nature take its course. As of now, I think we'll use them as our tank replenishment program. Of course, I'm assuming that we can keep the fry alive.

Halloween 2008

Here are some pictures of the kids in their Halloween costumes. Cass and I did not dress up with the kids this year.

Cass's Birthday Present

Cass decided that she wanted an Aquarium for her birthday. So, I figured out a way to squeeze the aquarium, stand, and myself in the Camaro. Now, I hope we can keep some fish alive.

Some Entertainment to Follow the Previous Sad News

I think Lexi could tell that we were sad today. So, she decided that she'd tell us a joke. The video is of Lexi telling Madi the joke.

A Terrible Day

We were shocked by some terrible information yesterday. At Cass's normal biweekly appointment with the OB, the doctor was unable to find a heartbeat. He asked that we return today in order to recheck the baby. Unfortunately, there was no heartbeat or movement from the baby and the baby's development seems to have been halted 1 1/2 to 2 weeks ago. The doctor scheduled a D&C for 6:00 tomorrow morning. Thank you for those that have provided their condolences, but I am not sure that Cass is ready to talk to anyone about it yet.
