Christmas in St. George

We started our holiday travels in St. George, Utah with Adam's family. We were able to be with Adam's parents, his brother Jared from L.A., his brother Daniel (recently returned from BYU-Jerusalem), his brother Paul and his wife Rachael & daughter Sydney. Here are some highlights and pictures:

Our view from the back patio...it was so sunny and beautiful there!
Ahh, I miss the sun now that we're back in dreary Calgary!

Happy Aidan on Christmas Morning

Nate and Aidan on Christmas morning...Nate was thrilled with all that Santa brought...but his favorite thing was the Spiderman Web Blaster!

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!
Leave a comment and let us know you stopped by!

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."
