Dear Helena,<br />
<br />
Our sweet, sensitive, OVERLY-dramatic baby girl. This year has been an exciting time for you. You started first grade in Mrs Maloney's class all by yourself. You were nervous to be on your own without Katie and Seamus but seem to have come into your own as the year progressed. We are going to have to keep an eye on you as you get older. You are very concerned about the social side of school, so much so that sometimes your academics suffer. Helena you are very smart and need to learn to trust yourself and try. You are more than capable of being an excellent student. If only we can get you to believe in yourself and not let others do things for you! You can be very stubborn as well which makes things even harder for you at times when you are convinced you are right. We do need to work on your writing though. Unfortunately, you inherited Mommy's and Daddy's terrible writing skills and you being left-handed doesn't help. You played softball last year and again this year and you absolutely love it! Your batting and catching have gotten so much better since last season. At this point you are ready to move up from your Knights of Columbus team to the next level, but need to get a little older and bigger first. Dancing is still one of your favorite things to do. You were the line leader again this year and it was so cute to watch everyone else follow you around on stage. We still see you doing your ballet twirls around the house. Cheer camp was one of the highlights of your year last year. You loved the hair bows, the stunts, and were so happy being a "flyer" for the bigger girls. I'm not sure how I feel about all this cheer stuff, but I'm trying to deal... You lost one of your front teeth a few days ago- finally. It sounded like someone was killing you the whole time Daddy was helping you get it out. Oh the Llama Drama! You now weigh 52.5 pounds and are 3 feet 10 3/4 inches tall. I can't believe how much you've grown since you were our tiny little "Bean." Have a great year Helena, we are so proud of who you are growing up to be!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
<br />
Mommy and Daddy<br />

Dear Katie,<br />
<br />
Today is your 7th birthday and as I look back on the last year I am in awe of how much you have grown and matured. So much has happened this year that it's hard to know where to begin. You started first grade in your very own class. Your teacher Mrs Bruski says you are a very helpful and wonderful student to have in her classroom. Your reading has improved so much since the beginning of the school year. You started out needing a little extra help but have worked very hard to bring your reading scores up. As of yesterday, you are now at level 24 for reading which is well into the second grade! We are so proud of your hard work this year Katie. I know you will have great success in your life because you have learned the meaning of hard work early on. You were also the only one to get all 1's on your last report card, great job! You have taught me and your siblings more than once how to do your math homework when we didn't have a clue. This year you started taking tennis lessons. We were looking for something you could do all on your own and tennis is what you chose. You have learned how to hit the ball, serve, volley, and even use your backhand! This summer you are taking lessons again and seem to really enjoy it. You continue to play soccer with Helena. This time your team name is the Purple Shooters and I am your coach again. We don't win or score very much but you are a very good defender and have saved many goals from being scored on our team. You also continue to dance but I think you do that more for your sister than because you like it. You had a chance to go to cheer camp this year as well. Hanging out with other girls and being silly seemed to be fun for you, I don't know how much you really liked the cheering part of it though. Swimming still seems to be your passion. Hopefully this next year we will see you move up a level or two and be able to join the Dolphin Swim Club which is what you say you really want to do. You now weigh 77 pounds and are 4 feet 1 1/2 inches tall. Daddy and I are excited to watch you continue to grow and excel in everything you do.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
<br />

Dear Seamus,<br />
I'm sitting here the night before your 7th birthday and trying to think of all of the things I want to say about you. You are reading this over my shoulder as I type so I guess I should start there... you have become a phenomenal reader and an awesome all around student this year. I really think putting you into your very own class allowed you to excel far more than if you had been placed with your sisters again. You teacher Mrs Solinski is so proud of how far you have come this year and we are too. You constantly come home telling us you got to "move your clip up" for good behavior. Thank God you save all of your silliness for at home and behave while you're in the classroom! You loved your Mad Science Forensics class that you took after school. It looked like so much fun that I wish I could have been it it. It was good for you to have something all of your own to tell us about though. You took gymnastics lessons this year and did very well. I can't believe how strong you are for such a little guy. Speaking of that Seamus, don't be so worried about catching up to your sisters in size. Your time will come and even though you are the smallest right now, you definitely make up for it in wit! This year you tried Flag Football instead of soccer. You did pretty well but don't seem to love it like you do hockey. You started playing Roller Hockey at the New Rink after football was over and have improved so much that I can't believe it's the same boy out there when I watch you play. At 7, you are already a way better skater than I will ever be. Daddy and I are so proud of the smart, strong, silly, and sensitive boy you have become. I know you miss Grandpa Murphy every day but I'm sure he is looking down on you and very proud of how you are growing as well. You now weigh 47.5 pounds and are 3 feet 9 3/4 inches tall. Keep being the best son we could ever ask for!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
<br />

<br />
The kids 7th birthday party was this past Sunday, the day before Memorial Day. As is tradition, Pat made their birthday party invitations and this year's theme was Star Wars. We had a tough time deciding whether to do a big family party or a friends party so I have a feeling this might be the last big birthday party for a while. We made light sabers for the party and designed a bunch of Star Wars themed food. It was the best party yet!<br />

May is birthday month for the trio! We started the month by celebrating Mother's Day with a brunch at Andiamo's. The food was good but it was a little crowded for my liking. <br />

Helena's softball started again as did Katie's tennis. Helena played third base in her first game and had great hits every time she was up to bat.<br />

The highlight of April was our annual spring break trip down to see Kathy. She's back in Charlotte, NC which makes us all happy because we're that much closer to the beach! Boston was nice last year, but nothing can compare to a week of relaxing at the ocean. This year was a little different though because we were not alone on our journey. The McAleers's (minus Bryan) and Grandma Murphy made the trip as well. We drove down with Deb and the kids while Pat McAleer flew down with Grandma. She had never been on a plane before so this was another first for her! We had such a great time that we've already booked a condo for all of us next year. We made it to see the dolphins which is something we've tried to do in the past but never timed right and rode bikes on the beach and paths.<br />

We started the month off with Pat hanging with the kids while I got to go skiing for a weekend with some friends. We stayed at a one of the girls cabins and got to ski at Boyne Highlands.<br />

The Sunday before St Patrick's Day we all ran in the Corktown Race downtown with a bunch of the Murphy/McAleer crew. Well, maybe the better statement would be some of us ran and some of us "ran" aka shopped during the race.<br />

St Paddy's Day is also Pat's birthday. Debbie always has a big party so that is where we spent the evening. For his birthday we gave him tickets to the Big 10 Ice Hockey Tournament which was fun. We got to see most of 2 games and the kids liked being so close to the ice and having the college Pep bands there.<br />

<br />Seamus started attending a science class called Mad Science Forensics Lab after school on Tuesdays. He absolutely loved it! He was able to do it on his own without the girls which was nice for him. They performed experiments and ran lots of labs. To be honest, I'm jealous! It looked like a lot of fun. This month also brought about our Zamek Dance Recital. All 5 of us danced this year! It took some convincing but even Pat seemed to enjoy it in the end. He was nervous about performing in front of others but the kids convinced him he would be fine. He did tell me he couldn't smile and dance at the same time though...<br />

February... ahhh... a month of fun! The month started with our annual ski trip to Boyne Mountain with the Huddas clan. Seamus and Helena did so well that they both spend most of the time going up the chair lifts and down the "big" hills. Katie again got to go dog sledding with Aunt Kim and Uncle Mike. Seamus and Pat had their annual "Boy Day", while the girls attended the Ladies Tea at church. We took a trip to Maui Sands waterpark in Ohio again this year which was a blast. Katie was tall enough to ride all the water slides and even went on the giant toilet bowl one with me! We had a couple of days off this month as well due to some seriously cold weather. It's no fun to have a snow day when you can't even go outside!<br />

With everything that happened with Pat's dad and Aunt Kathy Murphy staying with us the whole time, we needed to decompress and readjust to normal life at home with some semblance of a normal routine. The only new thing that happened was the trio started swimming lessons again. Everyone is in Level 3 now which means they are progressing well. Their attention span when they are together now is almost nonexistent. Thank God we put them all into their own classrooms at school! After 2 full sessions everyone is still in Level 3. Katie was disappointed because she was hoping to be able to try out of the Dolphin Swim Team this summer. The requirements are to be through Level 4 so she has her work cut out for her. She more than the other two seems to really love swimming so I'm hoping next time she can concentrate enough to do well and pass to the next level.

Christmas time always brings a lot of activity to our house. In early December we went and picked out our Christmas tree at Western Tree Farm in Applegate. It's quite a drive from our house but being able to drive around the property and pick out the tree is worth it. We also got to see Santa while we were there so the kids told him what they wanted. The kids had their dance Christmas party and St Nicholas party at church which is always fun. On December 21st the entire Murphy Clan including Grandma Murphy went to see a Red Wings game. This was Grandma's first time EVER at Joe Louis Arena to see a Wings game so we were all very excited to share this special day together. Christmas Eve was at our house this year which is good since Pat spent the entire night in bed with the flu. Christmas Day was great with a stop at Grandma and Grandpa Huddas's as well as at Grandma Murphy's. <br />

Seamus started playing hockey at the New Rink and seems to really love it. He plays for a Mighty Mites instructional team where he is learning to skate and play at his own pace. Thanksgiving was quiet, just food and family. <br />

We lost Pat's dad Jack on October 4th. He had been sick for a while and had been in and out of the hospital and rehab center but of course it was still a blow. It happened on the same day as the annual Oktoberfest so I took the kids there to keep them occupied while Pat dealt with all of the typical family/funeral stuff. We miss him every day and try to remember all of the good times we had together when we are sad. <br />

Pat and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary on October 9th and spent the weekend in Stratford, Ontario seeing a of couple plays. This is where we got engaged back in 2003, so it was nice to be back after so long. We even stayed at the same bed and breakfast. It was bittersweet though being so close to the loss of his father.<br />

Halloween was a complete washout this year. It rained, snowed, and the wind was howling so we decided to have our own Halloween party indoors. Costumes were required even though someone (Pat) was not happy about it!<br />

This year was a bit different because everyone is in their own classes. Katie's teacher is Mrs Bruski, Seamus has Mrs Solinski, and Helena has Mrs Maloney. First grade brings a lot more homework and responsibility so it took the kids a while to adjust. Let's be real... it took Pat and I a while too. This month brought the start of soccer again for the girls and Seamus decided to try flag football. I'm coaching the girls again this year for the Purple Shooters U-8 team so we don't have any pictures since I was on the field with them. Uncle Steve and Aunt Melanie got married on September 13th and we had a fun time celebrating at the wedding! We also celebrated my birthday and the kids danced at the Warren City Center and at the St Anne's Sausage Fest during this month.<br />

The highlight of July was a trip to Kinsale, Ireland. We got to spend a wonderful week at a condo in downtown Kinsale with Aunt Kathy Murphy. During the time we were there we spent quite a bit of time exploring. Some of the highlights included the kids first flight, including an overnight transatlanic flight to Shannon, Ireland. From there, we spent some time visiting the local pubs including some of our favorites like Kitty O Se's and the White House. I even found the seafood restaurant I went to years ago with friends called Jim Edwards. Pat and Kathy got to golf at Old Head while the kids and I went exploring some local beaches. We went on a boat tour of Kinsale Harbor and visited Charles Fort. Of course no trip to Ireland is complete without a tour of Blarney Castle and a visit to the Jameson's Distillery. Our final excursion was to find the Drombeg Stone Circle in County Cork. <br />

The month of June was a fun one for the Murphy's! We celebrated Uncle Ed's 50th Birthday with a Golf outing at Cherry Creek and a dinner at the Master's Restaurant. Helena finished up her season of softball with Team Purple Sparkles. Meg and Xena turned one years old and Christi and Wayne got married!<br />

Today was a very busy day for everyone. It started out this morning with a special birthday breakfast at Tim Horton's with Mommy. Then we dropped off cupcakes for the kids kindergarten class and Timbits for their friends at SAC. This afternoon after being picked up from school, they were able to open their presents from Pat and I. Helena's first softball game was this evening so we got packed up to watch her play. She did awesome! Scored 2 runs, caught some balls, and only had to hit off the tee once. Way to go Helena and Happy Birthday Kiddos!!

Dear Katie,<br />
6 years ago today one of the best people in the world was born. How is it that time has gone by so quickly? You are getting more grown up every day! You are quickly catching up to Mommy and I don't like it! I'm going to have to start leaning on your head to make you stop growing. This year you have really come out of your shell at school. Kindergarten has been a good year for you. You have made a ton of new friends and seem to get along with everyone. You are constantly talking about all of the people you are friends with at school and sometimes Daddy and I have a hard time keeping up. You laugh and get annoyed with us, but explain who you're talking about again anyway. Guess we'll have to make sure we keep an eye on you as you get older! You have lost 3 teeth at this point and have 2 more that are loose. The Tooth Fairy had better be saving her money. Your reading is getting much better as the year goes on. We've had to work with you some but just like when you were learning to walk and crawl, you would complain a ton and then get it done. Your writing and spelling are doing well too. If we could just convince you to take a minute and think before you write or spell you'd have it made! Mrs Beadle says you just have too many ideas in your head and sometimes they get mixed up when they come out. Swimming and soccer are going great. You are in level 3 for swimming and play soccer with Helena on the Green Caterpillars. You seem to like soccer a lot more this year and have even scored some goals. Zamek Dance is going well, you started ballet this year and really seemed to like being able to dance with the older girls. Katie you are still the responsible one and the one we can trust to tell us when something has happened. That is unless you did something wrong, then we have to fight it out of you. You are LOUD, funny, bossy, and love to hug and snuggle your stuffed animals. You are 3 ft 11.25 inches tall and weigh 69.5 pounds. I can't wait to see what the next year brings you!<br />
<br />
Have an AWESOME birthday!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
<br />

Dear Seamus,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Happy Birthday 6 year old! How did my sweet, sensitive, boy turn in to such a big kid? In just a couple weeks you will be graduating from Kindergarten. Mrs Beadle your teacher and Mrs Kimball from SAC have both mentioned how creative you have been this year. At SAC you have made a bunch of crafts that turned out great. The candle you made is still on our counter. I don't want to ruin it by lighting it. In class, you have written some awesome stories with a ton of details. Daddy and I are both really impressed with how much you have learned this year. So far school seems to be really easy for you. You've had no problem learning to read, spell, write, and do math problems. You even taught Mommy how to do number bonds this year. Keeping all of that busyness contained has been something you've had to work on though. You are very good at annoying your sisters and parents and we've had to remind you that sometimes being serious is more important than being funny. You are really funny though, and thoughtful, kind, helpful, and caring. You always try and say nice things to people when you think they need to hear it. You continued in Zamek Dance this year and seemed to really like the fact that there were two other boys in your class. You are now in level 3 of swimming, and still play soccer. Your soccer team is called the Green Dragons and Uncle John and Daddy are your coaches. Soccer is not your thing so this will probably be your last season. In a couple of weeks you will be starting a gymnastics class for all boys. You want to play football in the fall, so Daddy and I decided you need something just for you to do to make sure that you are ready. Seamus, you are 3ft 8inches tall and weigh 42.5 pounds. I'm not sure how you are the lightest... maybe it's the fact that you never stop moving even though you have days where you don't stop eating!</div>

Dear Helena,<br />
Today is your 6th birthday. I can't believe that your first year of elementary school is almost over! You have been doing very well in Kindergarten this year. Your writing has improved, you can spell tons of sight words, and you are reading great! 6 years ago I don't think Daddy and I could have imagined what our lives would be like with you, your brother and sister. Now we can't imagine our lives without you. You keep us running, but that's a good thing. You are still taking dance lessons with Zamek Dancers and started ballet this year. You continued with swimming and graduated all the way to level 3. Soccer is still going well. You and Katie play together on a team called the Green Caterpillars. Coach Joe makes it a lot of fun for you guys and you have scored a bunch of goals this season. This Spring you started playing softball for the Sparkles- Kiwanis of Romeo Team. Today is actually your first real game! Softball is the first thing that any of you have done by yourselves. I think you are really excited about playing but a little nervous too. Good thing your friend Sarah from school is there so you know someone on the team. Speaking of school, you have made a bunch of friends this year. Your best friend's name is Kaylee. The two of you are constantly playing together and talking about being best friends on the playground. Next year when you are in your own class, I think you will have no problem meeting new people. You are still our only child! You like to try and push the limits to see what you can get away with and then feel really guilty when you get in trouble. You still like pretty, sparkly things. You love to wear headbands and dresses. You are 3ft 8.5 inches tall and weigh 45 pounds.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful 6th birthday!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mommy and Daddy<br />
