So…Brian has this awesome new camera…and he’s got some really beautiful shots on it from this past weekend (Aiden’s 5th birthday party Saturday, all our 4th of July events yesterday)! I mean, he had his face behind that thing for a good portion of the weekend. I think he took over 700 pictures (ya!) We were reviewing them on his ipad last night. I have a few posts that I want to do and, obviously, use these great shots…but he’s hogging them! He took the card and his ipad today and left me with nothing but the camera on my iphone (sob sob). I’ll have to post about our super fun weekend later, but I did snap a quick pic of Aiden’s early and awesome birthday gift: a bearded dragon…named Drago. Drago is also a Bakugan (another Aiden favorite). In face, Aiden went as Drago the Bakugan for Halloween last year. So far we haven’t been able to do much with our little pet. We were instructed to put him in his new home and leave him be for 48 hours. We did get to see him eat a bunch of crickets yesterday after he came home and he’s moving around a little today. Two things I can tell you about our new pet: 1. he sleeps like the dead 2. Brian and I are like new parents all over again. We stood there in the boys’ room last night before we went to sleep staring into the tank to see if Drago was breathing. We were all worried! The first thing Brian did this morning was to go see how he was doing.

Here is Drago basking on his “warm” rock. Better pictures with a better camera coming…sometime!
