Six Years Old!

 On Dexter's actual birthday morning, Ben and I surprised him with ice cream cake for breakfast and family gift opening.

He loved the special card from the Ewers - it had a punch out crop duster! He also loved the Porche from Uncle Rob and the Rescue-Bot from Grandmama and Grampy.

Dex wasted no time incorporating all of his new "vehicles" into the mix.

Happy Anniversary, Fuzzy Monkey

10 years ago, Ben and I adopted My Bologna on the day after Thanksgiving. He continues to bring so much love into our family. We are forever grateful that he came into our lives. Happy Anniversary to our fuzzy monkey. Enjoy your new "puppet", Owlie.

Dex drew a picture on his note to the Toothfairy and

Daddy wrote out Dexter's "clever" dictation.

The Toothfairy had her own clever response.
