Wake Me Up When September Ends.

September came much too quickly but I'm trying this new thing called 'not complaining about time going too fast'. I haven't made it very far (see previous Blog post) but I am trying to turn a new leaf. Time is going fast but I absolutely love being able to play with my boys and spend time together as a family. Drop offs for school are still a little bit hard on Miles, but the boys are starting to really like their time at school and are sure to tell me every detail of their day there. I hope that never changes. :) Life is good here in the Murphy home and I really don't have anything I can complain about. We are welcoming the cooler weather with open arms and loving this new season of life! 

We took Ty and Amanda to Lake Michigan only
to find this incredible fog. It was hard to get
the full effect on camera, but it was awesome!

Miles loves getting chased by
the frigid waves.

Benji just can't get enough
of the lake!

We found Oliver's dream swing

Free craft day at Home Depot!

Ty and Amanda helped build the
boy's football stadium like pros.

Book reading is ALWAYS a good idea.
We had such a fun weekend visiting
with Ty and Amanda!

Amanda requested a subtle,
sunkissed melt. So Mama Mia and
a sunkissed melt is what she got!

This kid is quite the messy eater.

Saturday morning Mario Kart gets pretty intense!

We often find these two sharing
a good book.

I get the feeling that Oliver
knows he is utterly adorable.

We might have a future dentist
on our hands.

Oliver loves time with his Dad.

We love our missionaries!

Correlation meeting is always a hoot and a half!

Thanks for the fun crafts, Nana S!

Potatoes, eggs, and toast for Miles'
breakfast, PB&J with fish crackers
and Almonds for Benji. 

His fruit fetish is real. He loves being
able to eat like a big boy! ...as much
as his 2.5 teeth will allow.

I love being able to walk the
boys into their school every day!

Ollie arches his back and kicks
his feet whenever I go to put him
into the carseat. 

And Dad's tool helper.

But he LOVES being my baking helper.

These boys had me confused all day long with
their shirt choices. Blue for Benji, Red for Miles!
(I had a hard time even typing that out!)

Just look at all that sass.

We love a good lake day.

And Oliver loves any activity with food.

Josh asked Benji to show him his
best shopping face. This was it.
He is such a good helper!

Again, with the peach.

Benji and Milo loved their tour
of the firetruck. They thought the
huge axe was awesome!

Oliver is officially ten months old! And I can't even believe it. He loves to look out our front window and is ALWAYS moving. He doesn't like to sit still for long, except for when he is eating. He would rather eat real food than drink a bottle. He sucks his thumb at night and holds his blanket just like Benji did. He is hating being buckled into his carseat but enjoys the car once we are driving. He loves giving kisses and gets so proud of himself when he turns the lights on and off.
We love our active little Bear and couldn't imagine a world without him in it!
