Eli was thrilled recently to receive a "retired" fish tank from his great aunt. He quickly lined it with stones, set up some underwater vignettes, popped in a plastic aquarium plant and was off to the pet shop for fish. He picked out two Shub Goldfish and at my suggestion named them Swim and Swam. They are lovely-looking fish and very relaxing to watch. In fact, I glanced in Eli's room the other day to find him and Caleb laying on their bellies on his bed just silently watching the fish. Our favorite pastime as of late is feeding time every other day. It's quite comical to watch the fish darting around after their food and sucking it up just like miniature vacuum cleaners. Ah . . . simple pleasures.
