We are moving AGAIN!!!

OK I am going to try to make this a short post (yeah right!!)

For those of you that don't know, Sean lost his job on Halloween. He isn't sure why he lost it and it's still a shock for him.

What this means for us is that we have to move yet again. There are no jobs here on the island that we could get and make it financially. We have made the decision to go to an area where jobs can be found. We will be moving to Anchorage.

My parents have graciously opened their house to us until we get back up on our feet. We will be moving the weekend of Nov 10Th. A short 8 days!! We will be shipping all of our stuff on the barge. Sean will be driving the car up to Anchorage, he will have to take a ferry from Ketchikan to Haines and then drive to Anchorage. The boys and I will be flying from Ketchikan to Anchorage.

Please pray for us during this time. We know that God will provide but it's still a scary situation to be in.

All right I am off to bed I will keep everyone posted!!

Love the Murphy Family

Halloween



So this wasn't the best Halloween for us as you can imagine but before we got the bad news we were having fun.
Little Liam was a dragon, he wouldn't stand still long enough for me to get a picture of him facing me so you get his back side :) He came with Mommy and helped in Aidan's class room for the party.
Aidan who is on the left was Optimus Prime from Transformers. Riley was a clone trooper from Star Wars, I think.
We didn't go trick or treating but we took them to one of the churches here that had a Harvest/Halloween Carnival and all of the kids had fun.

Basketball!!

Riley and Aidan are both playing basketball this year. So far they have had 1 game. It was so funny to watch the little guys play, I have never laughed so hard!!



Aidan was number 35. He did really well. He gets frustrated easily because he hasn't mastered dribbling yet.







Riley was number 24 he is the one in the middle with the black shorts on. He is the tallest one on his team, (go figure!!). He is doing really well he likes to steal the ball and loves to pass it. I don't think that I have ever seen a kid pass so much!!

Sorry that the pictures aren't that good. Our camera isn't the best and the lighting wasn't good either.

Christmas Card


OK so the other night I was making cards. It started out to be making cards to send to my brother Kyle who is in Afghanistan, but I got off track and figured out what our Christmas cards will be this year!! I love the Merry and Bright set that Stampin' Up sells, the little snowman is so cute!!
Sorry Kyle!! I will try to make some here in the next few days to send to you guys!!
