Jack's Back

Well actually, Jack has never been here before, but we soon plan to change that.

Colman and Heidi and Jack came to visit for a week.  Unfortunately it was not long enough and so many people wanted to catch up.

This is the first picture of all the US based Murphy grandchildren.  No Colman is not included in the count although he still is a child at heart.

We had a big party to welcome Heidi and Jack into the California clan.  It was a great afternoon and over 30 people turned out to see the newest member of the Murphy family.
Here is a photo of all the kids playing poker.

Meanwhile Jack was quite happy underfoot chasing one of his many new toys

There was lots of things to play with - like Lakshmi's jewellery

And Randy's beard

California made sure to turn on the good weather for Colman just to rub in all the cold and snow they had left.  It was warm enough to hang out outside.

Tina Giusto, the neighbors Barbara and Dell, and Catherine all hanging out.

Jack learned lots of new things in California, like how to spit out your food if you don't like it.  Maybe it had something to do with getting a taste of Aunty Barbara's freshly made quiche.
