Introducing...

Tara Betta Fish Baker! 

(I apologize for the gross looking chalk board, but it Loralai was late going to bed, and I wanted to take the picture quickly, so I did not wait for the board to dry before I wrote on it)

On Thursday, Loralai, Grandma, and I had gone out for a Sushi dinner with our Friends Maggie and Drake; 

I had been thinking for a while that I would really like to get Loralai a fish, and since Daddy is away (working away from home for several weeks now :(  thought that it would be fun to add in another member of the family! So we went to a local fish store, and snatched up a beautiful blue and purple Betta fish, you cannot tell from the photo but she sure is pretty! I asked Loralai what she wanted to name her new pet, and after thinking long and hard, she came up with Tara (not exactly sure where she got that name from, but it works)!  We got the tank, food, etc. on the Thursday, but we went out the next day to a local Petsmart and got some accessories for Tara, you can certainly tell who picked them out! ;)

This next picture was taken a couple of weeks ago, but it was too cute not to share!

Loralai with her friend Drake at the park. Just look at how she is looking at him, boy oh boy am I in trouble when she is a teenager! :)
