Finally, a small cold front moved through our area last night and we're not going to see 105 degrees here today! It has been too much like home (Texas) around here and so I was ready to welcome the cooler air.
I'm juggling a lot of projects right now, and it is taking all my energy to keep them all going. I've been asked to present a night for our Enrichment meeting this month about scrapbooking. All they asked me to do was be there to help people with what they brought to work on, but could I keep it that simple? No! Of course not! So, because of my own "brilliance," I'm putting together packets of pages they can purchase that night and put together themselves. It is a lot more difficult than I thought, mostly because I can't decide what to do. Oh well.
I'm also trying to grow my photography portfolio so that I can eventually produce a website and start being a real photographer. You know, the kind that can charge money for their work! :)
I'm just happy to be a mom and I'm thrilled that because I just have one kid, I have the flexibility to do what I want (and what Nate wants, too). Sometimes that means that he wants to go to the park, and we just go. It's a lot of fun.

Welcome to Murdock Cockaigne
Cockaigne or Cockayne (pronounced /kɒˈkeɪn/) is a mythical medieval land of plenty, an imaginary place of extreme luxury and ease where physical comforts and pleasures are always immediately at hand and where the harshness of medieval peasant life does not exist.
A Little Bit About Us
The life and times of the Murdocks: Adam, Emily, Nate, Aidan, and Sophie.
Adam and I have been married for nine years, we have two sweet little boys and one little princess, and we've had quite the rollercoaster ride so far! We live in Dallas, where Adam is in his first year out of residency (finally a REAL doc!) and I run a small but exciting photography business.
We'd love to open the Hotel Murdock for you, if you're ever in the area! We LOVE visitors!

Nate's Quote of The Day
Nate: "Mom, do you think that there was people living in the jungle when people discovered the jungle?"
Mom: "Yes, there are people who live in the jungle."
Nate: "Oh, yeah, like Binidi the Jungle Girl!!"
Mom: "Well, I think that Bindi the Jungle Girl actually lives in a real house, in real life."
Nate: "Yeah, a real house in the jungle."
(OF COURSE...why ELSE would they call her a Jungle Girl?)
Nate: "Oh! I get it! Choose the Right! That means we should choose to go this way!" (points to the right)
Nate: "Those people have hearts by them. That means they love each other. I have love for someone. Erin. I'm in love with her."
Mom: "You're in love with her?"
Nate: "Well.......I think so."
Nate: "Mom, Erin likes me the way that Ailynn likes Demetrius. She wants to be my girlfriend."
Mom: "What does that mean, if she's your girlfriend?"
Nate: "I don't know."
Mom: "Well, I think it means that she's thinks you're nice, and she likes being around you."
Nate: "Yeah, that's probably what it means."
"Mom, I told Leslie that she is the most beautifulest I've ever seen." (This was at their Thanksgiving feast. She had a sparkly, sequinned, glittered Indian costume. She really was the beautifulest.)
"Mom, I love you so much. I'm so glad you're a part of my family." Ahh--does life get any better than THAT?
Nate: "Mom, this toast looks rusty."
Mom: "Rusty?"
Nate: "Yep, rusty and scrumptious."
(Describing the near-drowning we saw at the pool):
"Dad, she got a lot of water in her mouth. Too much. And so she had to go to the dentist."
"Dad is old because he has little hairs on his face. That means he's old."
As I was typing on the computer, the boys were playing. I heard a tiny burp from 7-month-old Aidan, and Nate said: "Aidan, say 'excuse me!'" I guess he listens to me after all!
Mom: "Did you like your grilled cheese sandwich, Nate?"
Nate: "Yes, but I didn't want a girl cheese sandwich. I wanted a boy one."
Mom: "Yes, there are people who live in the jungle."
Nate: "Oh, yeah, like Binidi the Jungle Girl!!"
Mom: "Well, I think that Bindi the Jungle Girl actually lives in a real house, in real life."
Nate: "Yeah, a real house in the jungle."
