First Zoo Outing of the Season

 While I was busy at work, Ben and Dexter enjoyed a warm, sunny Spring morning at the Zoo. When I asked Dexter which animals he saw, he said "raccoon and skunk".  Are you sure you weren't just in the backyard?? They had pictures to prove it.



Lost and Found

Dexter LOST it when he realized we were leaving church before the service was over but he made a quick recovery when we found a nearby playground!



Mother's Day Musicians

 Dexter was excited to meet Tim, "the drummer", chatting him up while he unloaded his drums. Despite being prepped about being quiet in church, Dexter couldn't contain himself.  After each musical interlude, Dexter shout-whispered, "Is Daddy done yet?" Twice I had to run up the aisle to bring him back to his seat in the back, a move that was greeted with resistance and fussing. I could see the worried look on Ben's face every time the minister said, "Let us pray in silence." Eventually I lured Dexter out of the service at communion with a box of yogurt-covered raisins given to me by a sympathetic parishioner.


Mother's Day Expedition

 Dexter and I went with Daddy to his church gig on Mother's Day.  We had about an hour to kill before the service started so we wandered the neighborhood and ate breakfast together. Dexter was wonderful in the diner - he perused a car trader magazine, picking out his favorite cars (Corvette) and tracing letters.  Yet again, Dexter put away more food than I did.
