          We have been battling the seasonal cold over here this week. Poor little guy was so tired and stuffy today. Going to bed tonight he crawled up on my chest and wrapped his arms around my neck and just laid there with his chin tucked right under mine and gazing up […]

  And Time Stood Still

  Posted on August 14, 2014 by Ali J. in All Things Dexter, Favorites

       So today I’m feeling weepy about the boy getting so big. I’d like to blame it all on Instagram and TBT for making me look thru old photo’s and walking down memory lane. Truth is I’ve been fighting this feeling for awhile. Every day I have seen that little baby fade away more […]

  Castles In the Sky

  Posted on July 11, 2014 by Ali J. in All Things Dexter, Favorites

         Recently we have had a little bit of a rough transitional period with Dexter. I used to pride myself that I was so in sync with him and that I knew when he was tired or hungry or any number of things almost before he did. Right about when we moved things […]
