Kai - 6 months

So fast he became a Big Boy.  But he's still a puppy at heart.

Just FYI, I'm gonna be taking a break from blogging for awhile.  No particular reason.  See you again soon.

Wash Day for Stinky Toys

Kai's favorite toys just had to be washed.  They had become so gross that I didn't even want to touch them.
