Official Website of Alaska's Coolest Kid!
Murphy Jon DelGado

Hola People! Welcome. It's been a few months since my last posting, not bad considering how busy I have been these last few months. Also, I am now officially one and a half years old!

If you have been to my web site before, you are going to notice quite a change from the past design. I've decided to add more pictures, and a few less words. I am still going to have lots of links to neat places and stuff, but I'll include it after the pictures, towards the bottom of the page. In a nutshell, here is a recap of the last few months:

I am now an official student at the Juneau Montessori School! I took the plunge about a month ago and it has been quite the experience. It is taking a little adjustment, after all, I had my Nanny Pam for over a year and now I am not the only sun in the solar system, if you know what I mean. But, I am having fun there and learning new things every day. I have a whole bunch of friends and we do all kinds of fun stuff together, like bake bread, go for walks and splash in puddles! It's really cool!

Our trip to California was really fun! It sure was nice to get some sunshine on my body. We did lots of neat stuff, like pavement hike across the Golden Gate Bridge and go to the UC Berkeley Campus. We also went to Tilden Park with my Aunt Lydia, Cousin Kathy and Second Cousin Caspian. We fed the animals and had a picnic! Of course soon after our meal, I decided I needed some sun where the sun doesn't usually shine and went streaking! Boy was that fun! We capped off that journey with a sojourn through Washington and visited with Uncle Nick and Uncle Dan and their families. We also got to check out the opening of Dale Chihuly's Trade Blanket Collection at the Washington State Historical Museum in Tacoma. It was way cool!

We haven't had as many visitors this year as normal, but the ones we have had are sure good ones, especially my Grandma and Grandapa Varga from Ohio! We had lots of fun together and I can't wait to see them again. We also spend quite a bit of time with my adopted Grandma Jackie and Grandpa Clark. They live near so I can see them often. In fact, just tonight, Mom, Dad, Grandpa Clark, my Hairy older brother Hogan and I, went to the park and went swinging! Dad and Grandpa rode their bikes (Dad towed me in my trailer) and Mom and Hogan walked down.

As far as Alaska goes, we are always doing something, like bike riding, going up Mount Roberts or just hanging out enjoying each others company. I really am a lucky young man. Well thanks for stopping in and I hope you enjoy my site. Take care and above all have FUN!

Love,
Murphy
