Fish eggs at the luau

We have 44 baby black convict fish that we don't know what to do with.  Now we're expecting more babies.  One of the yellow fish in our tank hasn't opened it's mouth in weeks.  For a couple days it would stay close to the heater.  We thought it was sick.  She hasn't eaten in weeks, but none of the other fish seem to bother her.  Today I noticed that Fishy Emily (the daddy- Emily named him) didn't eat either and a lot of the pebbles have been moved to the top of a rock. I had my suspicions they were confirmed after some research online and a call to the pet store.  Mama fish is a mouth brooder, which means the reason she's keeping her mouth closed is because there are fish eggs or babies in there. These babies might not make it because they're not know to be protective parents like the black convicts.  You never know, but either way we are excited.

Anthony thought it was funny when I told him I was going to update my facebook status that we were expecting and see how many people thought I was pregnant.  He's asked me several times since Aubrey has been born, not to have any more babies.  But a week or two ago he said he wouldn't mind if we had a boy baby so he would have someone to play video games with.  I asked him tonight how he would feel if we had another baby.  He said he would be mad.  Unless we went to the "people pound" and adopted a boy his age.

Tonight Emily went to a church luau with Grandma.  Grandma said Emily had a good time.  She was shy and refused to draw numbers in some kind of a contest. But when the music played she danced, in front of everyone.  Grandma said Emily even ran into her dance friend Delana at church and got to give her a hug when it was time to do the sign of peace and that everyone who saw sad, "Awww."

Daddy and I let Anthony stay home by himself for the first time.  I've let him stay home alone once in the past while Emily and I took a walk down the street, but this is the first time he was left alone for real.  We made a quick trip to the grocery store and stopped over at Grandma and Grandpa's to pick up a couple of snowballs to bring home.  We left him my cell phone and  Daddy called to check on him several times.  Daddy called so many times, I had to tell him to stop because I was afraid Anthony would get mad and stop answering.  He wasn't worried thought, he was just teasing him. I was a little nervous, but I know he is a good kid. When we got home we watched Olympus has Fallen together.
