irishmurr > It's snowing here again and as I was trying to come up with something interesting to shoot inside, my doorbell rang and these lovely flowers were delivered.  John William, Michael and Mom sent them to Daideo and I, thanking us for all we do for them.  What a surprise -- and aren't those the best kind of flowers to get?

This is straight from the camera.  I thought they were so beautiful, no photoshopping was required -- plus, the fact that I'm really busy trying to get ready for Easter ......  ;-)

For instance, here we have Johnny having a grand old time, throwing Easter eggs at his brother.    ;-)

irishmurr > The Murr-tini Family!

When Johnny was born fourteen months ago, it brought together two families -- the Albertini family and the Murray family -- and the fun hasn't stopped since!  This weekend we had Uncle Jimmy's baseball game, Daideo's birthday, Greek Easter, Aunt Vicki's birthday and Johnny's first haircut ..... which might explain why I was MIA for a few days?

irishmurr > I didn't even pick up the camera today, so here's one from yesterday.  My Mom came in to town over the holidays, for the first time in almost 15 years, which made it extra special for the whole family.  This was her last night before heading back home, so she made sure to give Johnny lots of hugs and kisses, to get him through until next time she sees him.   (December 28, 2007)

irishmurr > I've gone wireless!

I'm 50 years old and just recently started shooting digital, got my first program to process photos .... and now this.  I did today's daily in sepia because, even though I am forcing myself into all this new technology, I'm still basically "old school."  ;-)

irishmurr > Johnny's other grandma is Greek, and Trisha and Chas live only a couple of blocks away from the Greek Orthodox Church where a big festival was being held.  So you know what that meant -- time for the Murrtini Clan to hit the Greek festival!  The bicyclist is a neighbor, but the rest of the group is all ours.  Definitely a fun time!  (May 25, 2008)

irishmurr > The boys of spring.

Johnny's uncle, Jim, plays baseball for our local high school so the family all went out to root the team on.  No. 3 is our favorite player.  ;-)
