Well, we've experienced our first animal death and I have to say Ella took it very well. She's had Susan, a black molly, which she had to have once I told her in the pet store that was it's name, because of her cousin Molly, however she chose to name it Susan, after our youth pastor's high school aged daughter. I went to feed her this morning and immediately noticed she was obviously no longer with us. I didn't tell Ella and if you ask the boys neither did they. MT said he told Meagan, our delightful neighbor and she told Ella. Well, Ella didn't seem to mind and enjoyed planning Susan's funeral service with Max's assistance. She was laid to rest in a SpongeBob band aid box and Shiloh officiated as a witness. Mark's service is posted below. An extra perk to having a father that's an ordained minister. It's dark outside, but the sound is good! We'll be off to Petco tomorrow to quickly find a replacement for Susan and this time Ella says she's going to name her, "Rosalina, if it's a girl."
