Little fat puppy, Triceratops, is now five months old and weighs in at twenty-two pounds nine ounces! At five months teeny, tiny Tyrannosaurus Rex was twenty-one pounds… Rick was one pound five ounces heavier at four months and is one pound nine ounces heavier at five. Looks like the baby boy may be bigger than his brother when he’s full grown!

Our video doorbell died. Leaving a hole through our front door. Wood putty securely filled it but clearly I needed to do something about the aesthetics! Fortunately I found a shop that custom crafts copper plaques!

A nice nod to Tolkien, that! Perfect for nerds like us! For the uninitiated this is the answer to the riddle that opens the Door of Durin to enter the mines of Moria in Lord of the Rings! Daddy’s brass door knocker from his time in Korea adds a nice Elvish touch as well!

Bonus: We just got the cutest ever photos of Olivia Rose’s first birthday party! All Minnie Mouse and utterly adorable!
