Welcome to the family


I am not an animal person at all. We do have an Australian Shepherd I love, Cheyenne. Jeremy bought her for me after we got married. But other than her, I don't really care for animals. Since we've started homeschooling, I've really been feeling Josiah needed something to take care of. The more I read about how to make learning a part of our everyday lifestyle, the more I realize how important it is to teach Josiah how to "care" for things. Caring for family, friends and even pets is a great way to teach responsibility! I had mentioned the fish idea to Jeremy a few weeks ago. I heard Jeremy mention to Josiah something this morning about a hamster and I just about hit Jeremy over the head. NO WAY! NO HAMSTER! So they came home a little while ago with five fish instead! Josiah got to name two, Ava Beth got to name two and Josiah named one for Ezekiel. They came up with these names all on their own. It's very funny what they chose!

Spiderman
Red PowerRanger
Hannah Montana
Sharpay
DJ Lance (Josiah said this was perfect because Zeke loves Yo Gabba Gabba)

Welcome to the family! I hope you live long!

I hope the fish lives too.

On another note, I am popping in to let you know I finished my first 10K this morning. I really wasn't ready, but glad I did it. Will have a better idea of what to expect next time.
