Happy Father's Day!

today is ben's first official father's day and he is at work. =( but we celebrated a little early. marley got her daddy a brand new gas grill. as you can see he is a very happy daddy. please don't notice all the extra stuff on the back porch. it was rug airing out day. my gradma and aunt erin are in town. they had a good drive up and have been here for a couple of days. marley is very smitten with them both and i am pretty sure the feeling is mutual. we went to a quilt show yesterday and ended up in the midst of a gay pride parade. it was a fun day. marley loved looking at all the bright colours. got told to cover myself while breastfeeding marley in an out of the way corner and wanted to snap at the woman, but i bit my tongue. i am feeding my child, shut up and don't look if you have a problem with it. anyways. we are all having a very nice visit. marley goes in tomorrow morning for her next round of shots. we'll get to see how much she's grown since last time, which i guarantee is a lot. i have lots of pictures to share, and will do it gradually this week.
