The Tahoe Boys

This year vacations were split. Joe was able to go up to Tahoe with Matthew, Kieran, Thomas, Joseph, Stephen, Michael and Fulton. He stayed at the time share his parents graciously offered us this year. They had a wonderful time. Sheila was away in Madrid, Spain with 1.5 million youth who just happen to be Pope Benedict XVI's closest friends in the Catholic Church, more on her pilgrimage later, and John, Claire and I were at home working on strengthening since she has been home from the hospital.
As you can see from the pictures the boyz had a wonderful time and they are so grateful for the opportunity to swim, hike and pray up in the Sierras. It is truly a beautiful part of the world!!

Happy Birthday Joseph!!!

Joseph is 10, not 46 as the candles indicate. The Murray family may need some new candles, some have been a little over used. We will work on it in the future.

Summer Fun!!

Summer is still with us!! Thank God! I am enjoying this time away from school with a different schedule.
The boys love swimming... and swim daily. We love this season of warm weather, barbecuing, and longer days.
School is just around the corner, but for now thank God for the summer!!

Father and Son backpacking trip 2011

Joe, Kieran, Thomas, and Joseph had a wonderful time in the Sierras last week!! It was a great weekend!!
This is an opportunity for fathers and sons to get together, hike, have mass, have confession, and hear great mediations. Thank God in His goodness for the wonderful work of Opus Dei!!
