Blue Baby, Pita Tetra, and San Diego Zoo!


Over the weekend, we added 2 more babies to our Water world!


It was very exciting to bring the kids to Petco and pick out 2 more friends for our 3 water babies. We added a tetra Abbie named "Pita". Caleb picked out a Blue Micky Mouse platy, which we decided to name "Blue Baby".


As it turned out, they got along quite well on Day 1, but then Mickey started to hog up the food when it was feeding time. I have to tap the tank so the others get some food too!


It is very relaxing to just sit there and watch the cute creatures simply "BEING"....not doing much, but being who they are. That's a big lesson for me to learn ~ Just be Me, and enjoy who I am and where I am at this stage in life. We don't need to perform or achieve, but just simply... BE!

Abbie also brought me something she found in our front yard....our first 2 tomatoes of the season! They looked a tad green but were VERY yummy! The best part was...we didn't even plant this huge, healthy tomato plant! Some bird must have brought it and so far it has 16 tomatoes on it! The tomatoes were just 'hanging in there', and got delicious treats! That's something I should do more often 2!


I also told Caleb that the fishies 'dance' when he plays piano, so the past week he has been playing without putting up a fight! (^_^)


We went to the San Diego Zoo yesterday. It was cool to see the galapagos turtles eat TONS of bok choy and spinach clusters! If you want your kids to eat veggies, let them watch this video....several times a day!



Our favorite was the Bird Show, and the birdie we love most is an Amazon parrot who sings his own remix of "Old McDonald Had A Farm"!! (^_^)
