104 weeks...

Some of you are probably laughing at the title of this post, (but if you dont know what the title means, yes I have a picture in the bathtub of everyweek until my babies turn 1 and every month even now), and yes I do know this is crazy, but I can't help it....they change so much so quickly. I have been putting off really thinking about Murphy's big day that's coming up this weekend (don't get me wrong I have all the yo gabba gabba decor I could get my hands on)but to really think about having spent 2 years with this little boy is completely overwhelming to me.
2 years ago, our family was blessed with Murphy. I mean blessed in every sense of the word. He has taught me so much in just two years. He is honestly pure joy in my life. He is funny, loving, smart, and everything a mother could want. The past 2 years have changed my life in ways I never though possible, and I am so thankful to our sovereign God and His plan for me to be Murphys momma. My little "heaven joy" (and yes he does respond to this name sometimes) is such an example of how much God loves us. As he grows up, I am growing with him, he will start school this Spring and somehow I will have to be the one to drive him there and actually leave him twice a week (hopefully I will be able to see through my tears!)
Saturday is a big day for the Culpeppers, we are celebrating our little angel's birthday...I can't even put into words the love and gratitude I feel for him. I thank God for him everyday...get ready for some birthday pictures!

Of course this made me cry too. What I think of often is that he's
been such a blessing to many people. I know he has been to me-and watching you fight for him and love him and do everything in your power to be the best mom you can be-touches me in ways I can't say. Its that so many are instant Murphy fans- and I expect he will have that effect on everyone he touches. BOth of our boys have birthdays in April- Drew will be fourteen!!! Love to you all!
