We’ve been awfully sad that our beloved Uncle John Murray has been in poor health lately. It’s hard living so far away from our great—and great big—extended family, and I wish the boys could spend more time getting to know everyone. I felt grateful that Finn & I were able to make an impromptu trip to Chi-town last weekend to see Uncle John & spend time with much of the Murray clan, especially as Saturday happened to be my cousin Liz’s son Patrick’s First Communion.
Here’s a gallery (slideshow) of some photos I captured during the reception, and later in the park by the Murrays’ house (where Patrick, Mary, and Jimmy patiently gave Finn an intro to lacrosse). “We have a really nice family,” he told me later. I’m inclined to agree. <:-)
