Do I know me or what??

Told you all I'd be bad at this!! Just over 2 months later, I'm back. Carissa has started a blog, too, and she is doing much better at it than I am so to see a bit of what Halle (and a little bit of Artie and I) have been up to, check her out http://familymurph.blogspot.com/


Anyways, time has flown this summer, and it's starting to wind down just a bit. Artie is well into his first class (and kicking a little butt, I might add!!), I've left work and am now working harder than ever, and Halle is loving spending time with her cousins every day!!

I am in the process of getting back on track with pictures - I have tons to share - so hopefully I'll get back in gear!

Hello!!

Hi Everyone!

I've been pretty bad about keeping in touch with just about everyone lately! Our lives are so crazy and change so much practically everyday that it's impossible to keep everyone updated (assuming you want to be kept updated!!). So this is my attempt...let's be honest...I probably won't keep this very up to date either, but at least I'm trying!!

Just to get everyone up to speed...there has been a lot going on recently!! First and most exciting is that Carissa and Ryan and Livie welcomed their 2 baby girls, Sophia Grace and Claire Elizabeth to the world on May 9th - 3 weeks tomorrow. They are too fricking cute and so tiny!

Soapie (as Liv and Halle call her) and Claire lead me to our next big news...I am once again venturing into the land of daycare and craziness! When Carissa is ready to go back to work, I will be leaving work, packing up my Halle and heading to the Murphy house to care for their brood! I am excited like you wouldn't believe! (Or as Artie and Carissa tell me "You are crazy!") I'm thinking that a much more organized approach is in order this time around, that's for sure :) Anyways, with Artie still working 10 hour days, our whole family will have a 3 day weekend every week - I can't wait!

On the subject of Artie - after this summer, he takes on a new project as well...he'll be back in school finishing up his degree now that he's figured out what he wants to do! (I'm so jealous!) We are very excited for him...

That's all for now...I'm sure there's more but Halle's sleeping and unfortunately the dishes are calling my name...
