We've Got Ourselves a Two Year Old Here

Feliz Aniversário My Darling Salty

Can you beleive we've made it two whole years. Mallory is a phase girl; obsessive, impulsive, over enthused--i've been called it all. But the Salty Cod is proving to be something much more than a phase. What exactly we are not sure of yet. But we know Salty will keep swimming.

I am triste to say that due to the ten hours spent in a car today--there is no birthday cake for Salty. A 5-day vacation to the southern Brasilian beach coast was his present instead. Oh how terrible right!

Salty was born a few months before we moved to Paris--after a year he survived the city of lights and returned to Spokane. Less than a year later--and that cod fish has led us to Brasil. And we can not imagine anywhere else we would rather be. Especially for our birthday.

Two Years Young!

Happy birthday Salty Cod! A beach vacation sounds like just the thing. Now if only it were warm enough to do that for MY upcoming birthday...
