HAPPY BIRTHDAY FINNEGAN!

We celebrate Two great years with Finnegan Henry Murphy today. It's amazing how quickly these two years have gone. We've been through a lot but the main thing is we've made it through by trusting and resting in God. Patrick and I have learned a lot as parents. But we've still got a lot to learn.

Finn is the happiest, sweetest boy I've ever encountered. He's playful and adapts to his surroundings easily. Sure, he has epilepsy, but that's just one facet of his life and I truly believe it will make him a better person-he won't be able to take things for granted and neither will me or Patrick or his siblings. He is truly the greatest blessing in our lives (along with Ainsley).

Here are some pics from his b-day party this weekend (don't be offended you weren't invited it was just immediate family bc we didn't want Finn to get too excited and have a seizure on his big day.)

Although when both sets of grandparents got here he ran around smiling and giggling for about 15 minutes-he was sloop excited. We had to play a Mickey Mouse video to get him settled down again.

He had a jello/cream cake. Everyone else had Patricks tripple chocolate cake. Finn liked his better I think:)


Tom made balloon animals for the kids-such a special treat. Finn got a sword! He tried to joust with cousin Liam but Liam didn't understand the rules:)


Here are some pics of the big guy today. I feel the need to explain that Monday is jammie day at our house.


I tried to get him to smile. He said "paaaleeeze mom". Not really but he did with his eyes.


Here's a little one.


And an inquiring look.


Happy birthday Finn. Mommy and Daddy love you very much.
