Today was a wonderful day in the Dorman household. Just under one year ago (Feb 22, 2007) James and I gave Caleb the challenge to read the Book of Mormon by the time he was 8 years old and baptized. That gave him 21 months to do this. To our surprise he finished today (only about 10 months before he will be baptized). We are SO proud of him! He wants to read it again by the time he gets baptized in 10 months . Caleb is awesome!
As a reward for his amazing accomplishment Caleb is now the proud owner of a Bullbea (a Bulldog/Beagle hybrid). As a tribute to his favorite pleasure reading he named his cutie dog Calvin.
Here he is... Calvin Dorman. Without being biased (I'm sure) he seems to be a really smart dog. The kids (most of them - Ben's not diggin on it) LOVE him.
It was a complete surprise when we brought him home and we presented him to Caleb in a large lidded box that was wrapped in red and had a very big red bow on it.
What an exciting time!

That is AWESOME!!! I am so impressed by Caleb's ability to push himself to read the ENTIRE BoM!!! What a great job you guys are doing! Keep it up! Plus, your dog is really cute!
I can't believe Caleb finished the BofM! I'm so impressed!!
You also win best parent award for the new dog. My kids would be so jeleous!!!! He's adorable though!
I am so impressed! Way to go Caleb! I can't imagine Anika having the patience to do that. Maybe we will have to try. The dog is so cute. Our kids love having a dog and it is a great tool to help teach them responsibility.
