Go Jazz! Goldfish and a new baby

GO JAZZ
Last night we got together with some friends to watch a Game 7 match up between the Houston Rockets and the Utah Jazz. As many of you know, we are HUGE Jazz fans! The game, however, was in Houston and we thought it was a sure loss...time to "go home." But, we were wrong! It was the best game in all senses of the word...very, very close with the Jazz pulling it out at the end. I am so proud of them, how they kept their composure even when Houston made their runs, how the whole team contributed at crucial times, and how they really wanted the game. Their hustle was outstanding. They play again tomorrow night! Go JAZZ!

GOLDFISH
We bought our second and third pets yesterday, actually the kids bought them and all their accessories...goldfish (K named hers Crystal Light and C named his Goldfish with the Big Black Eyes). We bought them prior to heading to the Jazz game, so we set out some water to get room temp and got everything preliminarily ready. When we got home, it took forever to set it all up, but we finally did and the fish seemed very happy and acclimated in their new home. The kids were smiling from ear-to-ear and we were finally going to bed at 1 am. Guess what, though? If you are a previous goldfish owner, you probably know the answer....we woke up not even six hours later to two dead fish! -sigh- What a waste of time and money (although they are guaranteed for 90 days!)

NEW BABY
Little Dan learned to do these four new things this week...all within the span of 24 hours. I swear he is a different baby than before: He sits without support, he can actually release food into his mouth (before he could pinch it up and get it in his mouth, but could not let go of it), he crawls the traditional way now instead of his custom crawl, and he pulls up onto anything and everything. I can't believe he is sooooooooooo big. I love him even though his new nicknames are Terror Terror and Monster Baby.
