With the rest of my birthday money, I got a Beta fish. I have had various Betas through college and at work, but after the devastation of my work fish dying when I was around 8 months pregnant, I swore off of fish for awhile. This week I decided it was time to try again! Elena and I went to PetSmart and got all the stuff we need.
I decided to choose a name that Elena can already say--Bob. She used to say "bob" all the time, and I would say, "nobody is bob!" (Except for you, of course, Bob-bob. ;) ) So now we have our very own Bob Fish.
Whenever we come down the stairs and walk over to Bob Fish, Elena says "oh." It's so adorable! She hasn't actually said "Bob" for the fish yet, but I'm sure she'll get it!
Here is a picture of his home on the counter between the kitchen and the living room. I hope he is happy here. :)

Bob is beautiful, friend. I've been trying to get my boss to buy us an office fish for months-- I even took in a tank, rocks and a pirate ship-- but he hasn't done it yet. He says he's going to, but I'm losing confidence. Of course, my first choice was an office cat, but no one else seemed very keen on that. Bob looks a lot like El Capitan that I had in college. Remember him? Pretty fish. Anyway, I am a little curious why you named him Bob. I mean, you could've picked another word Elena can say... you could've named him Mama... ;) I love you all! Wish I could welcome Bob to the family in person.
