A new addition to the Fultmeyer Family...

Starting our walk out to the neighbors house to meet our newest pet for the first time! The boys were so excited they walked the whole mile, up hill most of the way, without a peep....

The boys were impressed...This guy, a bearded dragon, is very cool!

Forrest a bit shy and scared at first...

...but not anymore! This bearded dragon has a new family of fans!
So...yes, our family is growing, with the addition of a reptile! This 6 month old bearded dragon lizard needs a home and apparently we are the lucky winners of the job. Our neighbors are housing him for the next month until we finish the boy's rooms, as space is at a minimum at the moment. I won't lie. I was less than thrilled at the thought of it, but after meeting the guy, (Kevin is his name, though we were more thinking of Oz, or Wizard, or something great and powerful...:-) he is kinda cool! And the boys love him. He's fun to feed, very mellow to hold, and apparently only poops once a week, (we'll see about that!)
Welcome to our lively home Kevin...errr...Oz....Wizard....I hope you don't go batty!!!

That's great! Brave you for bringing a new member in. He looks durable though… Quinn's class has this little lizard and i am afraid someone might love it too hard if you know what i mean. I am sure the boys will love their "dragon"

So COOOOLLLLL! My dad had a bearded dragon (his very own pet when I was in college and all of us were out of the house). He was named Puff! I think Kevin should be his secret name, because he really is more of an Oz. I mean he is a dragon after all!!! Though if you want to steal Puff or use Magic, I would not mind. :-)

Or maybe Kevi - The magic Dragon should be his formal name. HAHAHA
Obviously I think this is wonderful and noteworthy and hilarious. I can not wait to meet your newest member.
