Happy Birthday, America! It's our first 4th of July in our new house and we're all revved up for it. Well, as much as we can be revved up with 2 year old Dexter running around and tiring us out.

Here's our little fireman getting ready to fight those inevitable fires that will break out from fireworks.



A couple of weeks ago, it was pretty warm up here. So warm, that we had to trek down to Uncle CJ's to cool off at his own private swimming pool. Here's The Dexican with his beloved Uncle CJ after getting a little ice cream to cap off the fun.



We're pretty much all over the place with pictures (what can I say, it's been about two weeks since my last post so I've got some catching up to do). Dexter spent the day of our move with Grandma Carolyn. Grandma had some friends staying with her and they had their son, Mihir, with them. Dexter had so much fun running and playing with Mihir that he got sick later that day. Poor little man had to spend his first night in his new room with a fever!



Speaking of Grandma Carolyn, here she is with her favorite Dexican spending some quality time before she moves.



Here is our little Dexter paying tribute to his Uncle Mike by wearing a pair of shoes he sent him from Paris not long after Dexter was born. Dexter can finally fit them after almost two years. We're sure Uncle Mike is looking down from heaven and happy to know that Dexter is keeping his spirit alive.



And a close-up of Uncle Mike's gift. What a surprise; skull and crossbones!



Dexter is quite the acrobat. Except when the camera is on him. Go figure. But we did manage to catch his crazy little dance of anticipation before the jump...



Ok everyone, time for bed. Dexter and Vlad will see you next time!
