The Fish, Bryan's trip to Canada, Learning to count

I am sure there are underwater candle light vigils being held right now across the country--maybe even all around the world; and that there are a lot of people out there on pins and needles, checking my blog every few minutes, just wondering how are those fish doing? OR, I wonder how many fish they have today? OR, did Bryan ever read Porsche's blog? OR, did Porsche sneak to Petco and buy more fish? OR, My blood pressure is rising, I can't stand the suspense! OR, How was Bryan's trip to Canada? OR, Does Cea even know that her parents are stressed about the fish? OR, ?????? . . .

Well, feel free to blow out your candles, please dry your eyes; the fish (the original 4 fish) are doing great!

Of course, a while after Bry got home, they started to not look so good--so we began to figure our fish had allergies!--they must be allergic to Bryan.
We went to Petco and bought some ammonia and water PH tester things, and some live plants to put in the tank. After putting Mircea to bed last night (she slept in the cart at Petco), we planted the plants and tested the water.
The water is fine, the fish love the plants, and the fish are swimming like they should. And Mircea and Bryan are right now at the store buying 2 more fish and another plant. (Personally, I am hoping they come back with a frog too--I mean how cool would that be!)
Now why are they buying 2 more fish? Because Bryan thinks it is really cute when Cea holds up 6 fingers to show how many fish she has. Sometimes she hold up one hand with 5 fingers and 1 finger from the other hand; other times she holds up four fingers with one hand and 2 fingers with another. I know many of you are probably thinking--Wow! Their child is a genius! Well, we very modestly agree! :)

As for Bryan's trip to Canada. . . He went with several other of his co-workers to go watch a hockey game. It is an annual trip that has gone on for several years now with his company. Anyway, he said while it was a fun time, he was mostly stressed/worried the whole trip thinking about the fish! GRIN!

I say, You should all get some fish too!--It is great DRAMA! Such an adventure! AND, they don't shed! (Of course the fish I did see Mircea flush--fish #2, she did kiss on the lips before she flushed it. That totally grossed me out!!!!!)

Anyway, I do believe my Fish Saga, should mostly be over! Hopefully all other posts about Fish will consist of boring information instead of a countdown! We appreciate every ones thoughts and concern for us during these past few "dark" days.

What a lot of fun new pictures and delightful commentary to catch up on! I chuckled when I pictured Cea kissing the dead fish on its lips. Ewww!
