Happy Birthday!

Today is Lightning's birthday.  He is 5 years old.  To celebrate, we're going to show some of his baby pictures.  :-)

It seems like just yesterday that my son found this tiny little puppy and couldn't live without him.  He was adorable....

and he loved to nap on his boy's shoulder.

Now he's all grown up, he no longer naps on our shoulders (thank goodness - he turned out to be rather large!), and some time during this first year, his ears went all funky.  I still think he's adorable.  

So, Happy Birthday Lightning! 

There's an extra treat for him tonight (peanut butter!).
