Teenager Alert!

We're getting our first taste of having a teenager in the family! Yesterday was the first day and so far, it's not too bad. No backtalk yet but the love of a good nap is already a well honed skill.

Happy 13th Birthday to our Murphy baby! A month ago we were so scared he wouldn't make it to his birthday but he did! He's not looking too spry for a new teenager and is definitely showing his dog years. :)))

He's still doing pretty well, appetite is good, a bit stiff and slower moving but still going! It's weird not to have to worry about the garbage or the kids' Halloween candy anymore bu the doesn't bother with that stuff. He tends to avoid the slippery linoleum floor in the kitchen so that's the upside!

We had a birthday cake for him last night and he thoroughly (and quite quickly!) enjoyed his piece! Aunt Cathy came out to join us for dinner as there was a special birthday in her family too! My cousin Daniel & his wife had their baby girl yesterday!
