Updates from the Creek
Hello Everyone,
I know it has been awhile and it is a little unlikely that anyone is still checking this but I thought I'd post some fun updates from Murphy's Creek.
Jeffrey and I went on a fabulous vacation to Central and South America a few weeks ago. We first spent a week relaxing in Belize and then went to our friends', Bob and Joyce, wedding in Venezuela. Both countries were beautiful!

Here we are when we first arrived in Belize, very white you can see.

We worked on our tans a bit (or I did and Jeff worked on his burn) and then we headed to Venezuela to a fun wedding in the river town, Puerto Ordaz.

The happily married couple, Bob and Joyce.

Here is our hotel view from Puerto Ordaz. We were right on the major river, Orinoco, where there were endless waterfalls.








And here is a little thief who visited me at the pool!















Madeleine stayed with Nana Gretchen and Grandpa Bob most of the time spending her weekends with Grandaddy John and Grandma Susan. She also had a great time. We were very happy to see her when we got back. When we left she was nearly walking, just taking a few steps, so we thought that she would be running around when we returned but we should know by now that she likes to take these things slow. She is just really getting the hang of walking now. Here is Madeleine, walking with her friend Zoe, at the Brat Fest this Memorial Day weekend.










Madeleine had a great time with Nana and Grandaddy and we had a wonderful time in S.&C. America but we are all happy to be home.





Journey's End
