Meet Jubal

A couple of weeks ago, Pierce turned six.  SIX.  How do these things happen so quickly?  Anyhow, he had a splendid get together with family which included a highly desired "Mario cake". 

What does a 6 year old little boy want for his birthday?  Well Pierce wanted Lego sets, a light saber, an ice cream maker, a Harry Potter magic wand, and Vibram barefoot running shoes.  Thanks to generous family, he either received or was able to purchase all of these items with birthday money!  And what did he want from Paul and I?  A hamster.  He's been begging for a hamster since last summer!  I thought maybe he'd forget about it by now, but nope.  He named her Jubal.

I have to confess - that furry, fat little body.  Those perky and curious little ears.  We're all just a little smitten by this cute creature.

Including this guy.  I see you Baxter.  Don't even think about it!

  3. Awww So cute! And I love a Mario cake, brings me back a bit :-) My kids really want a dog, but I am trying to use the "chickens as pets" part of our chicken experiment to hopefully put them off until it gets warm again!

  5. Hmmmm....didn't you get Baxter because he is supposed to be a good mouser? Maybe you should keep him in your car.
