Good-Bye Mr. Goldfish :(

Well, a little over 3 years ago Emma got a goldfish from a birthday party. THANK YOU JENNIFER!! (I mean this from the bottom of my heart....NOT). Well, I didn't think the thing would live past a week with Emma in charge of feeding it. Well three years later and Emma just lost her goldfish yesterday. She was VERY upset and I felt really sorry for her. I told her that she must be the best at feeding a goldfish because all of the other fish from the party are long gone. We had a little funeral for the fish this evening after we got home from church. I asked Emma if she would like to bury the fish in the backyard and she looked at me like I had two heads, but as we talked about it for a few minutes she decided that she would like to. I found a jewelry box, and Todd put some of the rocks down in the bottom of the box. We put the fish in the box and then Emma wanted to put some food in the box for the fish...so we did. We buried that fish in style. I know this is kinda morbid, but this is a big thing for Emma and I wanted to share if with all of you. Mr. Goldfish kept her company for 3 years and now Rachel thinks we need a cat!! NO WAY!! Nothing that requires food!!
