wedding bells in the air

Well it finally looks as if our rushing around everywhere is nearly over! Febuary has been a very busy month for us, as julians had to go down to the city for two weekends in a row preparing for his brothers wedding, plus working 5-6 days a week! Last weekend my parents watched Allistiar and we traveled down to St. Jacobs for justin and jessicas wedding. Julian went down friday and then his parents picked me up and we traveled down saturday morning. The wedding was beautiful. and jessica looked stunning. It was nice to have a 'me' day where i wasnt having to constantly worry about allistair, although he was on my mind most of the day anyways! Here are some pictures taken from the wedding.

Congrats you two!! you both looked amazing!

christmas and so on...

hey everyone! once again i apologize for my lack of postings lately. Christmas came and went so fast, and although it was great to see everyone again, im glad its over, as allistiar got barely any sleep over the holidays. Speaking of allisitar, he now has one little tooth peaking through and another just about to come through. hes busy biting anything that comes within a foot of his mouth and is also starting to pull himself around. Life with him never gets dull and its such a blessing having him in our lives.
My mom has just recently tought me how to do quilting, so i am really loving doing that in my spare time! julian likes to laugh at my new little hobbies, just because most of them i swore i'd never do. i really have turned into my mother!
Julian and i have also become quite good friends with 2 young couples from our church. We have gone to their house a few times and today we went over to celebrate their oldest son sammys 4th birthday! they have a 2 yr old, and also a 6 month old baby who is allistiars good friend! its so fun to watch them together! its a real blessing to finally have good married friends to hang out with. Its encouraging especially for me to have someone i know we can talk to whenever we need to. Im so thankful for them!
anyways, i have to cut this short because allistiar is getting grumpy, (bed time i think!?) so i'll just leave you with a few pictures from christmas.

all us kids made gingerbread houses on boxing day. i had an 'accident w/ my first, so im holding my unfinished 2nd.

allistiar loved getting to see auntie kris again!

over the christmas break, julian really enjoyed getting to know caleb a bit better, one day he and caleb helped calebs family make home-made sausage. julian hasnt stopped talking about it!

well, i'll leave it at that for now ,but we hope you had a very merry christmas and really great holidays!

allistiars screech

let it snow!

Well, we've had quite a bit of snow in the past few days, which has been wonderful when you're in a cozy warm house, but not so fun while driving with no snow tires! We get them on monday thankfully, so i wont worry quite as much as i have been with julian driving to and from hanover every day. with christmas coming so soon, i've been busy baking goodies to send to friends and decorating the house! the christmas spirit has definatley come to me! i've alreaedy had the tree up for about a week now! Im realy looking forward to allistair being a bit older and looking forward to christmas, but for now, i just decorate him in ornaments and taking lots of pictures! i dont have those yet but i do have a few others my mom and i took.

hes quite the little goofball lol and enjoys making all sorts of faces, he has also recently learned how to screech and does it all the time as you can see in the video!

Once again, Ive been very slacking in my posting so here I am , yet agian.
theres not a whole lot to tell really, Allistair is growing so fast! he has recently started to make noises , and seems to really like the concept of making noise!
Julians been quite busy at Bell world, right now they are having a "contest" to see who can sell the most of a certain type of phone, whoever wins gets a new cell phone and a 19 inch flatscreen tv. both of which he is desperately wanting to win to sell on ebay!
Im looking very forward to christmas! i've been going through my recipes looking for all sorts of christams goodies to make! im very excited, and wish christmas would come sooner so i could start baking!!
jon comes home on tuesday for thanksgiving! I am SO excited for him to meet his little nephew, hopefully allisitar isnt too crabby and doesnt throw up on jon so he will still like holding him at the end of the day! please pray for safety as he drives up with seth dyck. anyways, i think thats about all for now, below are a few semi-recent pictures of allistiar.



mr smiley! grampas shoulder tastes pretty nummy!



allistiar and his friend benjamin! (he looks a bit scared acuatlly!)

peek-a-boo! allistiar takes after
me with his crazy faces!

Well, once again its been quite some time since i've given an update on everything thats been happening with the murphys. Life is good, allistiar is growing so fast i can hardly believe it. I wieghed him last tuesday and he was up to 11 lbs 13 oz! he's getting quite the little tummy on him, and getting cuter every day! Last week he started smiling, so julian and i (and grandpa and gramma!) have been having a lot of fun with that!

as far as juilan and i go, he is still working hard at bell world and i am busy taking care of the little guy,a nd the house, which no matter how hard i work, never seems to stay clean for more than a day or two! i just finally finished with allistiars nursery, it looks really good, and im really happy with how it turned out!

unfortunatley i couldnt fit the whole room in the shot, but this is basically it.

heres the tattoo i got on friday, i was quite impressed with how well it turned out!
