A SERGEANT LIVES AMONG US

I've been really bad about writing lately, but recent events and time constraints have put a hold on what I used to lavishly refer to as my "T time".

At the VERY least, I need to acknowledge my Belle's 8th birthday, which after four long years (I'd say they flew by like crazy) she finally received the one thing she's been request for, well...four years!

Meet Sergeant...our newest family member.

Sergeant is a teddy bear hamster. The name? Who knows. Close as I can figure it's because her big brother gave her the thing...aheemmmmm...I mean the present and Ben loves military things and has been known to call himself a Sergeant (in the Halo video game, that is!). And she also explained, "Because all Sergeants are brown and dirty."...hmmmmmm...something to think about I guess.

Anyway, of course I will write more about her birthday as she had a big "all about me" kinda day. But since I just got through feeding him (does it surprise you?), it made me think of the fact I hadn't introduced him and more importantly: acknowledged Belle's Big 8 day.

More to come....!
