This morning Nicholas went to church for the first time in his life. In honor of this momentous occasion, we bathed him last night (4th bath of his life...hey, he's the 6th!) so he looked very cute and clean. He was great...slept through the whole service! The girls were very happy to get back to their church routine.We got another phone call from Nathan yesterday during his on-base leave. His whole company got 6 hours (3-9 p.m.) leave and when Nathan called he was giddy with freedom. We got to talk for about 15 minutes...until his phone card expired, and we had a great time talking. We did tell him that Don was attending his graduation ceremony, so there's no longer any reason to keep that under wraps. He told us he has to report to his unit by 4:30 on November 6, so he'll have 5 1/2 days of leave. He has a list of many things he would like to do during those days, and told us, "boot camp has taught me what can be accomplished in 5 days." I can't wait to see the new, improved Nathan. I'm hoping that boot camp has taken an otherwise perfect young man and taught him time management skills, self discipline, and attention to detail. Then there'd be very little to complain about.
It's a beautiful sunny but cold day here. Don and the girls spent a lot of time outside this afternoon. Now we're getting ready for a dinner of pork loin roast, red potatoes, and delicata squash for supper.
Cheers,
Cathi

Sounds like a great Sunday! And I'm sure that everyone at church was anxious to see the newest member of the Murphy family!
And you know, he's starting to look a little less like Sean, and more like Nick!
Dinner sounded yummy!!
Love you!
It all sounds yummy! So glad that you had a great long talk with Nathan. And, might I add...what a darling picture. I'm gonna try to post tomorrow... getting ready for a craft faire and I am sewing like mad. I have something for you too... but need to put it in the mail. Love to all..
