Liv's First Real Bath

Liv's first real bath (first time in water and not just sponged off) was as most baby's first baths...
...a little uncertainty with a good measure of thinking...


... a little more thinking...


...and then TOTAL FREAKOUT!


But in the end, all is made well by Mommy's touch.

Attention: Internet Actually Stops the Earth from Spinning

Please forgive my tardiness, but my internet has been down for two, plus weeks. I will hopefully over the next day or so update you all on the new and exciting happenings of the last 10 days or so. Cheers.

James Wins Big Brother of the Year!

Within seconds of seeing Liv for the first time we saw James turn from rambunctious 19 month old to sensitive big brother. We honestly did not know how James would react to Liv's arrival, but he has shown everyone that he has much love to give. He did tell me that even though he looks like a lover boy in these pictures if anyone wanted to mess with Liv that they would have to go through him first. We're proud of him regardless.

Baby Liv Has Arrived

With much anticipation and farfare we welcome our new addition, Liv Ashley Murphy. She wiggled her way onto the scene at 12:21pm on Tuesday, December 11, 2007. She is as beautiful as we knew she would be, and now we share her to you.

Notice all that hair! I (Chris) sit in front of a mirror all day trying to get my hair to do that, and she comes into the world sportin' major style. Oh well, I'm used to standing in awe of the women around me(I mean, do you see my wife!?). This is just another example of how God's gifts are far greater than we could ever imagine.

Code Word: Baby

We had our system down... if I am at work and she sends me a "911" text message then I drop everything and we go have ourselves a baby. As you can see by the date and time Liv was born about 12 hours later. Good timing Ter!
