Despite all the work we put into the Dragon Party, the School Party totally trumped it!

We had the most wonderful afternoon at Dexter’s school while his teacher talked about what it meant to complete 3 years.  After we shared Dexter’s story, his friends gave him a special card they made and then each one took turns saying something nice to him … I lost count of how many “Te quiero” and “Te amo” were said!

Welcome to Daily Dex!

We live in Mexico City, Mexico. Our families live in the Midwest, USA. The distance didn't seem so bad when it was just my husband and I, but after Dexter arrived, and especially after Alexandra arrived, 1500 miles was just too much for our families.

Shortly after Dexter was born, so was Daily Dex: our little blog is designed to be a safe haven for all the gushing, bragging and sharing of Dexter’s & Alex's daily accomplishments and adorable little milestones.

In other words, if you came here – you are asking for it!
