June 2008 At the Lake!

Well it's been HOTTTTTT!!!! HERE! We went to a local lake to get some relief from the heat. Arlington Res...(our favorite place to go) was not open yet. So we had to find another spot. At first Kate was not so sure about the water. Once in though she began to enjoy it. She actually fell asleep while floating in Mike's arms!! Too Cute!

We headed up to North Conway for the weekend! We went to daddy's Aunt & Uncle's Yummy Pizza place The Shannon Door!!! They have the BEST pizza! We were able to introduce you to your great aunt Tess and Great Uncle Tommy! Your Second Cousins Nora & Kathleen and your 3rd cousin (is that such a thing?) May. It was great to see them and spend time with them even though it wasn't very long! Maybe next year you will be old enough and we can take you to Storyland with all the cousins!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!! The Murphy's headed down to the Cape to take some pictures by the ocean! While down there we bumped into my firend Ellen's Mom. She invited us back to her Family BBQ. We had a fun time with her and her family. Only thing that was missing was Auntie El.

My 1st Mothers Day

My Mother's day was fantastic! I have waited so long to become a mom, that the day felt bittersweet at moments. Thinking about all the other women dealing with infertility and waiting for their miracles. Mother's Day used to be so difficult for me, since it was a reminder of what I wasn't. This year was different, I had my beautiful baby and as if that wasn't gift enough my thoughtful loving husband left no detail out! I spent the morning cuddling my two babes and opening gifts! One of them was the Vera Bradley Baby Bag I have been drooling over. Mike said Kate picked the color Raspberry Fizz....ADORABLE! How cute they went shopping together! Then we headed in town to the Swan Boats and the Ducks... What a great way to spend a sunny afternoon. Everyone oooohed and ahhhhed over our little princess. Then we went to The Big Slide Park in Arlington, which was a park I went to as a child. Kate had her 1st slide and swing ride! Can't wait to go again. We then had dinner at one of my favorite local restaraunts Jimmys' Yummo! Thanks Mike and Kate for a beautiful, and memorable Mother's Day!
