Here's Murphy!

I couldn't keep it a secret any longer. Please welcome our newest addition to the Caldecott house, Murphy our 8 week old golden retriever!!

I was trying to hold out until guests started to arrive for Melissa's wedding but he's growing so much and he changes every single day. Murphy was born on July 1st and was welcomed into the world with 4 other brothers and 2 sisters. And by a promise made by my husband, Chris and Tina you can vouch to that conversation at our condo in Colorado, I could have a "Golden on my Golden Birthday." Thus, Murph is here :)

These are a few pictures of him since he came home. He successfully has multiple nicknames already the most commonly used is Murphenstein then Murphffles, Murphenshiz, Small Fry and Superman. The last name is because he already loves to leap off our bed which is quite a drop for someone that small.

The house looks slightly like a miniature prison but each day he is better and better with behavior. His favorite tug is still mom's ponytail! In honor of our new baby I'll feature a post a week, or many more :), on Murph and his adventures. He is very excited to meet his friends Gus and Moose and to play more with Isabelle and Lola. And he loves his playdates with his cousin Hudson and Uncle Cayman at Grandma and Grandpa's house!

Day one sleeping in the hallway.


Day two playing in the backyard.


Day three checking out the garden, which he loves, especially the tomato plants.


Day four sleeping upside down.


Day five mom was traveling and didn't take a picture, bad mom!

Day six taking a break from eating mom's shoes to check out her camera that's been in his face all week.


Day seven posing with mom who was squinting in the sun


So there he is everyone, our newest love Murphy.
