Dean's Third!


Dean turned three on July 6!  We celebrated with deep chocolate cake frosted with chocolate sour cream scrumptiousness, a welcome thunderstorm, cousins, grandparents, and most exciting of all, a great-grandma!


Despite colds and ear infections Dean and Maddux both pulled it together when it came time for cake.


Maddux and Great-grandma Craig.


Dean was so excited to blow his candles out!



Stubbs.  Ever present, especially when food is around.


Chocolatey little boy kisses.  The best kind!






Absolutely a great party.  It was laid back (a must with sick kids), packed with family, dessert was before dinner, and everyone was happy.  The only thing missing was Luke.  He had to be away across the country at lacrosse camps.  He was missed so much!  I think we'll have to have another party when we are reunited.


Dean amazes me every day with his brilliance, his sweetness (Maddux and I both get impromptu kisses throughout the day), his kindness, and his deviousness and absolute will to problem solve and get what he wants.  He is delightful and I wish two could have lasted longer, yes, even the tantrums.  But I'm excited for three and so very proud of our boy.

He's getting so big! Happy Belated Birthday Dean! Too bad Luke wasn't there. :(
By the way, Abby you look fantastic, but what else is new ;)
