A few quick things...

I just wanted to share this video of Nikos at the end of skating lessons today. He is doing so AWESOME! He's at the head of the class! We only have one more week, but he is already asking us to sign him up for the next level. He is bound and determined to play hockey! Maya has done great, too, but isn't as driven as her brother is. She's smaller, and skating is a lot of work! She will probably take a break before resuming lessons... maybe next winter!
And then, after skating, we went to the pet store and picked out some new friends. It was kind of impulsive, actually, but we had bought all the accessories when we were out shopping yesterday. The blue male was Nikos' pick, and Maya insisted on getting a "tiny" fish (the red female). They are in a divided tank and can't see each other, which is good-- or they might try to kill each other! The kids are very excited, and can't wait to feed them again in the morning! :)
