2007 Murray Clan Update!

A Review of 2007

Wow, what a year. Most of the year can be reviewed under Snowflake 2 Page. We began our year with a successful frozen embryo transfer. After a very rough start and months of bed rest we were blessed beyond measure with a beautiful son we named Peter Joseph.

October 16 the before going to hospital for PJ's delivery.

The name Peter after well obviously after Peter, Joseph after Suzanne's wonderful and dearly missed father. We have nicknamed him PJ. PJ is a busy 2 month old who is busy eating, messing diapers, having late night parties and being just darn adorable.

Mary turned four this year. Her one birthday wish was to receive a purple guitar, she got a pink one instead. She is thrilled beyond words to be a big sister. She has really been a prayer warrior this year reminding everyone to pray for certain requests. She learned how to swim at the beginning of the summer Hooray for no floaties! She will be starting preschool in January, and kindergarten in August.

Galina, turned 9 in August. She participated in Nightlight's Russian ensemble choir over the summer, singing in both Russian and English. She had fun performing at various venues such as multiple churches, the Nightlight summer reunion, and the Orange County fair. She also kept busy all summer participating in various activities such as VBS, art, math and music summer camps. Galina started the 3rd grade at a new Catholic school nearby. She enjoys going sharing a class with one cousin and playing with 3 others at lunch that all attend the same school. She played and enjoyed her first year of volleyball, receiving a medal at the end of the season. WE hope to start her in Karate in the beginning of next year.

Anya turned 15 in December. She had a very busy year making all her sacraments at the Easter Vigil mass, graduating from 8th grade, playing her last season of volleyball, participating in water polo camp during the summer, starting high school and now playing high school league water polo. She is saving money to travel to Australia in July 2008 with her Daddy for World Youth Day. Having a child in high school does keep a mommy busy.

As for us, we are incredibly busy parents blessed beyond measure with four wonderful children. Yes there are many of days we are so very overwhelmed but yet in awe how God has entrusted us with the great kids. Peter is still at the same CPA firm. Suzanne has been off from work since early pregnancy complications in February of this year. She has been busy these past few months being a mom to four children driving kids to sporting events and school. Life is never dull in the Murray household and we praise God for that!
