D-Unit's mom here. Dexter finally got to meet my cousin Ben! (Does that make him D's second cousin?) Ben came to town from Seattle to visit his sister Shannon and their mother Sue. We met up for some lunch and had a lovely time. Ben and Dexter bonded with everyone's favorite game, "Try to Catch Dexter's Toys Before He Throws Them to the Ground." Good times. Here, he's posing like the little male model we're grooming him to be. Show 'em your BlueSteel, Dex!



Ginny and Lars were in town on business and Ginny invited us to hang by the pool at The Claremont. This was Dexatrim's first real pool experience. He actually wore swim trunks for the first time! It was a beautiful, warm day and the water was perfect. I hadn't been to the pool there since the extremely hungover day after our wedding. Here's Ginny and Dexter in the kid's pool. You can barely see one of the awesome fountains in the right corner.



Now that our little guy's all grows up, he needs some shoes that are made for walkin', so we headed to Small Frys on 24th St in our old hood in the city. On the way, we came across an SFFD fire truck. As you may have noticed, D has a thing for men in uniform, so he begged to have his pic taken with the firemen and their truck. (More on the first pair of shoes next time.)
