Real scare. Just heard a rumor from Madison that Brett Favre was retiring. Turns out to apparently be an urban myth but my heart was beating quickly for awhile.
Also last night was perusing Real Simple. The docs get magazines at my office as publishers thinks these docs have waiting rooms (haha, no waiting rooms for Pathologists...just morgues) And there was an article on best blogs. And there was zenhabits.net. Didn't mention Leo or Guam or anything but mighty impressive. I know it's won many things but seeing it in print....wow. I still think the Murphy family needs a MD but a famous blogger is pretty cool too. Speaking of famous bloggers, Seth why is Chicago the Big Potato? Alice is now in Boise if you really want to talk potatoes.....
Love this, Leo. Thanks. AP

Instructions for the Blog
For those who need instructions for reading the blog and posting updates, here they are:
READING THE BLOG
1. Point your browser to murphyhood.blogspot.com and you can read the blog to see everyone's updates. The most recent posts are at the top ... scroll down to see earlier ones.
2. At the top of each post is the date and title, then the text of the post, and at the bottom of each post is the author's name.
3. Also at the bottom is a link that says how many comments ... if you click on that, you can read the comments for that particular post. You can even add your own comment -- if you're logged in. See below for logging in and registering.
REGISTERING
If you want to write comments or a post, you need to be registered and logged in.
1. If you haven't registered yet, you have to do that first. You should have received an invitation to sign up ... if so, just click on the link to sign up. If you already have a google account (for Gmail, Google Calendar, Reader, etc) then you can just enter your password. If you don't have a google account, you'll have to create one (there should be a link on the sign-up page). To create an account you'll have to enter your email address and desired password.
2. Once you have an account and you've signed up for the blog, you can log in each time you visit the blog and want to write a post or comment. Just go to the blog (at the adress above) and then click on the "sign in" link in the top right corner. Then enter your email address and password.
WRITING A POST
1. To write a post, you must first be signed in (see above). Once you sign in, it should take you to your "dashboard". Under "The Murphy Hood" should be a plus symbol with a link that says "New Post". Click on that link.
2. That will take you to the page where you write your post. At the top is a blank field where you can enter the title of the post (like a headline). Enter a title first, then move to the second (and larger) field where you can enter the text of your post. This is where you write whatever you want to say in your update or message to the family.
3. When you're done writing your post, click on "Publish Post". That will take you to a page that says that your post is successfully published. If you click on "View Blog" you should see the blog with your new post at the top.
4. If for some reason you need to edit your post, there is a pencil icon at the bottom of your post where you can click on it to edit. Just make your changes and then click publish.
Let me know if you have further questions!

Yea for Kerry and Bobby! and yea for Dad turning 81. Such a nice party that Mom gave. Wish you were all here. We tried to take photos but I'm not sure they turned out as it was rather dark and the flash wouldn't work.
Robert and I are home with Samantha, Lennon and Bella tonight. Katrina and Ana went out to a girlfriend's birthday party. Yesterday we had baby Noelle while Leo and Eva and the other kids went to the movie. Lots of kids around here! We love 'um.

Kerry's new home
Kerry just called to tell me that they have rented a very affordable small home in Santa Rosa. She will be in by the first and will contact every one when she gets her computer hooked up. She was also happy to say that she (with Bob's help) have a job cleaning homes or apts. We all know how good she is at that. I guess her new title would be maintenance engineer.(wrong wording?) They sounded very realistic when they laid out their plans to live within their budget. I hope that their health holds up and that things start looking up! Mom

81 years
All of the Guam relatives showed up for grandpas birthday. They all loved his favorite "beef stew" except for the vegetarians so we had lots of other choices. I'll try to post a picture after Leo shows me how. Grandpa is doing surprisingly well after the rough summer he had. We love this blogging and hope we hear lots from everyone.

Happy 81st Birthday Grandpa!
Granpda is the oldest person I know.
We're at his house right now celebrating his birthday. Grandma cooked a big dinner and we're all drooling. She cooked Grandpa's favorite, beef stew, plus casserole, squash and salad for us veggies.
The Guam branch of our clan is trickling in now, and Grandma has asked me to show her how to do this blog thing.
