Spring Returns

Happy Spring Everyone. We have been making the most of the improved weather patterns as of late in the Murphy household. Since last we spoke, I've had a couple play dates, went to a crawfish boil (saw the "before" and "after" crawfish), and hopped down to Florida for a visit with Great Grandfather.

After a late night dinner party with Miss Meriwether and the Gleason sisters a couple of weeks ago, I had Charlie and Luke over for some dudes only time. We had a good time playing with trucks, throwing the football around and talking about chicks.


Here is a random shot depicting some general Murphy house frivolity...these boots were made for walking...




A gentleman always offers his booster to a lady, such as Miss Meriwether.


Saint Patrick's Day! I love it. We had corned beef and cabbage, and we celebrated Molly's 9th Birthday.

Last week, Mom and I hopped a jet bound for West Palm Beach, Florida to visit Great Grandfather. We had a blast.


Aunt Pat and Uncle Alex were home, Aunt Kate and Uncle Roger flew in, and Uncle Pete was in town as well. We got to hang out on Uncle Pete's boat one of the days. It was fantastic.


It's like riding a tricycle...only bigger.
Fountains. Lakes. Wow, I love a good fountain-lake combo and Great Grandfather's place had several.
Thank you for a wonderful visit Great Grandfather. I cannot wait to come back down soon.

Well, Dad and Aunt Meg have birthdays coming up, and Easter is only a week away. I plan to spend all week in training for the festivities. I currently have 4 Easter egg hunts on the books. Its all about fundamentals. Strong fundamentals and a clear head on the egg hunt field are absolutely key.

Happy Spring, Happy Easter and Happy Birthday Dad & Aunt Meg.

Later dudes...CDM

One of the Better Shows on Earth

Hello from the ATL. Mom (not pictured), Dad and I went to the Ringling Brothers-Barnum & Bailey Circus a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty fun, but the elephants stole the show. I got up close and personal with Asia the Asian Elephant during the pre-show with Dad...
...then later in the show she brought out 9 of her friends and performed tricks. It was great. The picture above of Dad and I was snapped during the first 20 minutes of the show...pictures were nearly impossible for the last 1 hour, 40 minutes as I had lost interest and could not sit still. Elephants are awesome.Will was in town last weekend and stopped by for some outside play and snack time. We were chillaxin' in the man cave when the paparazzi snapped this pic...
Grandpa D has a rule: He does not play golf when the temperature is below his age....that rule doesn't work for everyone. Conditions were tough, but Molly and I still got out there last week.
Molly loves it when I read stories to her...Good night sweet Cow.
Winter, cold, snow, and ice is almost finished. Spring is near (I hope), so get excited amigos. CDM.
