Making memories

This weekend was an extra special weekend for the Murphy family. Steve's sister, Shannon, celebrated her marriage to Eric. They came home from their new home in Sicily, and had a beautiful ceremony and reception in southern Illinois. It was wonderful to see family and friends, and Luke had a great time meeting lots of extended family.
This is a shot of him getting ready to go to the welcome dinner on Thursday night at Malcolm and Carol's. Luke did a great job all weekend with the excitement, meeting new people and later nights. We had a lot of fun seeing him holding court with aunts and uncles and cousins...
Enjoying a GREAT reception...my mom and dad took Luke home when he was getting tired. It was nice to enjoy a glass of wine and dance with my husband. It was even more enjoyable to dance while Gpa Paul sang La Bamba :) Steve with his godfather, Joe, and Luke. Joe said that Luke reminds him of Steve except for the fact that Steve was as big as Luke is now when he was born...
I am not sure who is happier - Luke or Grandma Jackie
Biggest hit of the night for Luke...the 8 spoons soaking in ice water that we rotated through as he threw them to the ground. Nothing better than a nice cold spoon to gum.
Happy and lovely bride, enjoying a laugh on the dance floor with Steve and Luke. The next time that we see Shannon, maybe it will be in Italy! He did get out of his tux at the party, but he looked great in it, and he was a real hit as ring bearer! Thanks for asking him to be involved, Shannon!
