That’s what we call Rulon, or sometimes just “the guy.”  He is quite the little guy and we have loved having him in our home for the last 5 years.  He is very sweet and quiet yet at the same time is absolutely bursting with energy.  What a funny little kid.  I often say to Erik, I am still getting to know him, there are so many layers.

We celebrated his big day on August 19th with a party at (gulp) Chuck E. Cheese.  We are not Chuck E. Cheese fans but since “the guy” had not had an official birthday party before we decided to oblige.

Things started to look up as the kids were able to put some space between themselves and the over-sized rodent.

Rulon got to choose whatever he wanted to eat for breakfast.  He chose a hotdog…..
