A Weekend of Celebrating…

the little man that stole all of hearts almost 2 years ago.

Our little monkey will be 2 on Wed. TWO! My Baby will be 2!  Anyway more on him and his amazing two years on Wed.

Our celebrations started on Friday morning, with a couple friends and their awesome mamas.  Unfortunately, a few of our friends weren’t feeling well,and couldn’t be here.  You were all greatly missed. 

Then Saturday, daddy was in full party mode while I was at school.

Sunday Patrick was celebrated with family, and was cuddled by all of his favorites.  Here are a few (well my idea of a few ) photos from our amazing weekend. 

Really the cupcakes tasted as good as they look.!

Happy Birthday Sweet Baby Girl

Three years ago today, Miss Kathryn Marie Murphy entered this wonderful world at 1:47 pm with a sweet cry and a tuft of dirty blonde hair. On this day, Katy made me a mom.  I can honestly say that this was the BEST day of my life, a day I waited so very long for, and a day I will never forget.   I can’t remember what we did last week, but I can give you a play by play of Katy’s delivery.  It was a day filled with many emotions, and was most certainly unforgettable.

Since day one Katy has been a strong and amazing human being.  She has has made every. single. day. wonderful.  She is a joy to be around, and has a smile that lights up any room she is in.  I can not imagine a more kind and caring little girl.  

To say that Katy has been through a lot (medically) is a major understatement.  She has been through more than any child  should ever have to endure, and unfortunately has a long road ahead of her.  I am amazed at how well she handles her many doctors appointments, procedures, and daily medicine.   On my worst day, I think of Kate and how she handles all of this with such grace and I am reminded that if she can do this, so can I.

Katy,

I love you to the moon and back.    I love watching you love life.  I love your sweet voice, and having” I love you more”  wars.  I love how much you are a Daddy’s girl.  I love how caring you are towards your “baby” Patrick.  I love that you love to sing, and color and play.  I love that you love to be a girly girl. I love you to the moon and back.  I am so thankful for you, and can’t imagine my world without you   I know that you are going to do great things in this world. 

Love,

Mommy
