teenager!

Today, April 8, Dex turns 13!

It is unbelievable to me that 13 years have passed so quickly.He has grown from a 8 week early, 5 lb preemie

to a kind-hearted, energetic, wise, 70+lb tractor drivin' farm boy.

Thirteen years with Dexter have been full of:

first ponies, first fevers, first catches; calf and fish, first friends, first babysitters, first buckles, first motorized wheels, first days of schools, first dances and first holes in the wall(that was just a matter of time with 3 boys)

It's exciting to think about the years ahead:

first days of high school, first dates, first official drivers license, first pickup trucks, and first boy attending college.

O.K. maybe THAT LAST ONE honestly DOES NOT excite me?
