Easter Morning

Egg Decorating

Easter Weekend

The Murphy's had a very eventful and nice Easter weekend. My mom and Darryl were able to come and visit for the weekend. We did our traditional egg decorating on saturday and a egg hunt. The kids enjoyed multiple Easter Baskets for the Bunny himself and grandparents. We went out for supper last night with mom and Darryl. I woke up at 2am and could not go back to sleep this morning, the excitement of whether the Easter Bunny come or not I guess got to me. Something about having small kids that makes you feel like a kid again. I got up early and made breakfast for my family Waffles and sausage. And off to Church we went this morning and then to lunch with Grandpa Jerry and family. And finally home to take a Easter nap that we all enjoyed together. Not to mention the the weather was awful this weekend. Snow and cold, I heard them say today that it was the coldest Easter in 40 years. Glad we got to experience it. We enjoyed the sunshine inside!!!Big weekend already over with. Hope you all had a Blessed Easter.

Easter Message

The girls got an Easter Message today from California. That is what Maddi like to call it. Here are a few pictures and I am trying to get a video on. Hope everyone has a blessed Easter.

God Bless you.

We are going to the movie's

Today we enjoyed going to a movie as a family. We went to the new Dr. Seuss, Horton hears a who. It was great. The kids loved it. We did a little shopping in Sioux Falls. My vacation is almost over and I am sad. But tomorrow we celebrate St. Patty's day which is a holiday in this house. Go Irish

"Spring fever"

I sort of felt like "Who let the dogs out". It was a very nice day in MN today. This evening the girls realized that it was really nice out but as you can see lots of snow yet. All the sudden I saw a flash and they out running around outside. Maddi must have helped her sister. Macie had her PJ pants on that are actually too big yet with dress shoes on the wrong feet and they were running around outside. I was crying I was laughing so hard. My little girls!!!!!

First day of Vacation

It is here, vacation. We have been working very hard through February because our Dentist is going on vacation now March 6th through the 17th. So we made up the days we were going to miss by working Friday's. So Thursday is the first day of vacation. Starts out by taking Maddi to school. Macie has an appointment to get her tubes in ther ears checked at 9:30, saw the Dr at 10:35. Go pick up Maddi at 11, it was very tight in timing. Get home get lunch made, no water in the house. A water main had broke in town so NO one in Adrian had water. Go do some errors in town. Get home Maddi has a tummy ache. Starts throwing up at 6. No water until 8:30. Very interesting night. She seems to be doing really well this morning so we will cross our fingers and pray to be over that bump and pray she keeps it to herself. Wow, gald to have Thursday behind us. We need to stay low today and do LAUNDRY.

"Here I am Lord"

"Here I am Lord"

I, the Lord of sea and Sky,

I have heard My people cry,

All who dwell in dark and Sin,

My hand will save.

I who made the stars of night,

I will make their darkness bright,

Who will bear My light to them?

Whom shall I send?

Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord?

I have heard you calling in the night.

I will go Lord, if you lead me.

I will hold your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain,

I have born my peoples pain.

I have wept for love of them, They turn away.

I will break their hearts of stone,

Give them hearts for love alone.

I will speak My word to them,

Whom shall I send?

Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord?

I have heard you calling in the night.

I will go Lord, if You lead me.

I will hold Your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of wind and flame,

I will tend the poor and lame.

I will set a feast for them,

My hand will save.

Finest Bread I will provide,

Till their hearts be satisfied.

I will give My Life to them,

Whom shal I send?

Sitting in Church today your hurts still aches for the families involved in the bus crush. The children that are still hurting in injury that will affect some of them for a life time. The children that will never play sports again because of injury. The people of cottonwood that hearts will hurt forever. The families that hearts where torn apart with the lost of a child because of someone's carelessness. It is so hard to understand. Yet these 4 children that lost there lives that day left an impression with everyone that knew them. They were all very special and leave a void. They were remarkable children that even gone now are changing lives. God Bless them and the families involved. My heart hurts for them..............

Smile Girls

Good Morning. Had a little time before Church today so I thought we would take some snapshots of the girls all cleaned up. Life has been crazy around this house this week. Mom worked 5 days this week which hardly ever happens. We have been really busy at work and even thought it is very rewarding to help people with there teeth and to help them save there teeth. I had a lady in on Friday that started to cry as soon as I walked into the room. Was it Me? No she was just scared to death to be in the dental office. It had been 30 plus years since she had been to the dentist because of a bad experience. So my heart went out to this lady and all the patients that I see. I wanted to help her. So I did what I needed to do to make her feel safe. She hates her smile and never wants to smile. So I helped her make a plan to get that "perfect smile" she has been dreaming of she signed the deal and schedule it. And stated that she will be back and do what it takes to keep her teeth. Those are days that you walk away saying it is all worth it.

But when you wake you at 4 am and get home at 6:30 pm and have girls screaming for your attention and truly just need there mom you wonder what you are doing. You really feel torn. We really have enjoyed our 2 days together though and did some spring cleaning. We are ALL ready to be able to go outside again. My daughter Maddi wants to know whey we only have 2 days off when we usually get 4. But I reasure her that we just have to work 3 days and then we get 11 off because Dr. is going on vacation so we all get vacation so that is why we are working so hard. I think it will be worth it. We are going to enjoy our time off. Have a great rest of the weekend I know we will.
