Triple digits!

Derek has now reach triple digits ;) We went in for a check up today for both the boys. They are growing well and Derek weighed in at 100 lbs. Max is coming along at 59 lbs. Both are passed the 70% in hight. In fact another two inches and Derek will be as tall as me.

Max's Birthday

Max's birthday was on the 9th but we did not eat the cake until the 10th. He is 9 now. Yay!!

Fish update

Our tank had a fish lice in it. I went to goggle images and looked up parasites. It is very common I guess. Now the only concern is the fish getting an infection. Sometimes the little bugger detaches from the fish. When it did I caught it in a net. Now i have it in a cup. I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm assuming it will die unless it has fishes to suck on.

Normally the pool level is half way down the tile. Right now it is about 2 1/2 inches until it leave the pool.

Back to Normal

The kids are back in school. John is back at work. The house is nice and quiet. That seemed like one of the longest Christmas breaks ever. Most was good, but loud as we got Rock Band for Christmas. It was all good but I'm glad it's done.

Fishtank Update: Sucky fish died, and Flibby (USO's ((unidentified swimming object)) new name) unattached then reattached to a different fish.

We had a very bad storm. No trees down but we have a leaky bathroom window and also the bedroom sliding doors. Frank is coming to look at both.

Pool Watch 2008: 2 1/2 inches
We are not sure how to empty the pool to the street, (instead of it getting under the house) let's hope we figure it out in 2 1/2 inches, LOL.

Tank Gone Wild

I'm not sure i should be in charge of fish tanks. All kinds of weird stuff is going on. The sucky fish looks REALLY fat. It's tummy is so big that when she attaches to the tank with her mouth her tummy bumps the tank and her tail fin sticks out. Very odd. I think someone has deposited eggs in one corner. The flibbity jibbit has attached it's self to the tail of one of the fish and another one of the fish looks like it's bleeding by it side fin.

Will the madness ever stop?
