Baylor & Danny's Wedding Weekend

Bo and I spent Memorial Day Weekend in Miami to celebrate his cousin, Baylor, and her new husband, Danny. It was our fourth and final wedding this year. The past few years have been pretty wedding-crazy so we considered this a slow year, and the earliest in the year that wedding season has ever ended for us.

We flew in Friday night and stayed with our friend Liz, who had just moved to an awesome apartment in downtown Miami, and then went out to meet up with some of Bo's cousins. Liz fit right in and was a part of the family the entire weekend, aside from the official events ;)



Stewart and Bo, dynamic duo at beer pong. Pretty sure they will never grow up.

Saturday we hung out at Liz's pool for most of the day and tried to get a little sun. Out of our five trips to Florida this year, this was the only time it didn't rain! So much for the Sunshine State.



The rehearsal dinner that evening was at Calamari. It was great to see so many of Bo's family members, many whom we hadn't seen since our own wedding almost four years ago. And we finally got to meet the groom!

We spent most of Sunday at Grove Isle and enjoyed a little more time in the sun before the wedding later that afternoon.





The wedding ceremony and reception were both at the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club.  We've been there several times over the years and it was a gorgeous venue for a wedding.









Commanders!

MPD2

Last month we celebrated our second MPD ("Molly Present Day") - can't believe we've had Molly for just over two years now. We were out of town on the actual day, but since she has no idea (nor will she ever) we spoiled her a little extra the following weekend. No fancy treats like last year - she is still trying to maintain her weight in the ideal range ;)  So we just took her on a walk and spent the day with her out on the front lawn, which is the exact same thing we did on the day we got her two years ago. We had to get in some good quality time with Molly, especially since it was her last weekend as an only puppy...more details to come on that :)


baby Molly!


Recently she has become extremely territorial, which can sometimes be annoying because she barks and howls at everyone who walks past our house. Otherwise she is a very quiet beagle. So she actually makes for a pretty good guard dog, and I certainly appreciate that since Bo is out of town so much for work.



She is still super cuddly and has really mellowed out a lot in the past few months since entering "adulthood".  Though I'm fairly certain we will always call her our little puppy.

 
Seriously so in love with this dog.
