We got a new critter for the aquarium yesterday. We’ve been wanting a lion fish for awhile, but we were holding off because we weren’t sure if we wanted to do a reef tank or a fish only tank. We finally decided to stick with just fish. First of all, you can get some of the cooler fish if you’re not doing a reef, and secondly the anemones and corals are so expensive – even the little frags! So anyway, we went yesterday and got our lion and also a puffer. We have to wait until next week to pick up the puffer because he’s still in quarantine. The guy we get our fish from quarantines all of his fish for two weeks. That way you don’t bring something home and get all of your other fish sick. Here’s the lion, and I will post a photo of the puffer when we pick it up – they are so cute!  

He’s kind of scary looking, isn’t he? He’s a pretty big one too, about 9 inches across when he’s all spread out. The other fish were a little freaked out when we put him in! We’re keeping an eye on the clown fish, because they’re really the only thing that’s small enough for him to eat, but so far, he’s not bothering anything. The clowns are so stupid though – they just swim around in front of him – like they’re taunting him! Our blue tang has been in hiding since we put it in, but the others have already come back out and are back to normal.

Jordan went for her third karate class on Friday. They got to do some new stuff, so she had a great time! They’re having day camp Monday and Tuesday since the schools are closed for MLK day and report cards. Monday they’re going bowling and Tuesday is Gatti Town. I asked Jordan if she wanted to go, and she was all excited about it. I told her that she would be with the instructors and other kids and that I wasn’t going to be there, and she seemed OK with it. She’s been home with me for five months now, and I know she has got to be bored! We do craft stuff and go places, but it’s not the same as being with other kids and playing.
