Dexter is One!

Dear Dexter, Today you are one year old! It’s so hard to believe that just a year ago you came to us a tiny, red, wrinkly little thing, with your Daddy’s good looks. This year has been exciting, exhausting, …

May – A Big Month

May was a busy month for the Pecks. Lots happened, so I’ll try to keep it short. First of all, we moved on May 5. Happy Cinco de Moving  Day to us! We had a lot of help from …

So Long, Cache Valley
