BESTIES!!!!

Ali and Marley are besties these days.  She LOVES Marley. Even when she is crying I can usually get her to stop with a quick trip over to see Mar Mar.  For Marley's part, he tolerates.  

Goings on -

The baby-blanket burrito -

 Paige got her hair cut the other day and sweet talked the lady into a braid.  Then walked around the rest of the day calling herself Elsa from Frozen.

 Showing Ali how to use the Ipad. You can never start too young -

 Picnic outside on a nice spring day -

 And inside another -

 Mimi & Nana came to bbsit Ali so that Paige and I could have a date.  We settled on getting our toes done...

 And lunch -

Marley Man turns 8!

Old Man.  We've definitely noticed Marley slowing down in the last 6 months or so.  Spending time with his much younger and more agile cousins or watching him over Memorial Day hang out with a lab puppy, we've noticed he doesn't move as fast as he used it (and he was never fast to begin with) and doesn't even try to keep up with the younger pups.  His hips bother him if he gets too much activity and now he is battling a shoulder thing.....geeze, not the birthday post I intended.

Happy Happy Birthday Marley Man!!!  What can we say....one of a kind you are.

The kids celebrated with some Frosty Paws ice cream and Paige wanted a photo opp with..who else...Birthday Bear!
