New Family Members

We took the plunge last weekend and bought a fishtank, goldfish, and all the accessories.
Henry and Emma helped pick out the fish and all the decorations that are in the tank. They are helping feed the dish every day; learning the responsibilities of pet ownership along the way.
Last Thursday while most of the Martin family were here after my grandfather's funeral, Henry, Emma, my cousins Joshua and Clint, Aimee(Josh's gf), and Aunt Linda went on a bug hunting adventure in the front yard. Josh managed to find a grasshopper who became known as Little Henry. Here's Bub and Sissy keeping an eye on Little Henry.
Henry was very hands on, but very gentle with his grasshopper. Little Henry went to bed with the kids Thursday night in a bugcatcher and survived until late Friday morning. He's now in grasshopper heaven.
