A love for motherhood!

Words can't describe the joy Mason has brought me! I love being a mom and more specifically I love being Mason's mom. Being a mom is the best job I have ever had and the job I always dreamed of having. Now, I am not trying to glorify the task at hand (hello, I have to turn this little guy into a man....a strong, kind, intelligent  loving, gentleman). And don't get me wrong my "to do" list never gets completed 100% and 6am comes early each morning. But I am in love with our son; everything about him. And I love being a mom.

In spirit of Mother's Day I have to thank my mom! Her love and support for me is endless and I feel it everyday. I can only hope I am following your foot steps as a mother and one day Mason can say the same about me.  I did learn from the best! Love you so much mom; thank you for everything.

I can't believe Mason is already 7 months old! Where is the little baby that was once in my tummy?

Mason is pretty much sitting up on his own. He Loves music, being outside, bath time, rolling around in his crib and food!

Happy Mother's Day to all moms!

Sunshine & Roses

The Murray Family is VERY thankful for the continued warm weather!  Truly, Mason is just as excited as Matt & I.  When Matt comes home from work we take a family walk and head over to the park if Mase is up for it.  It is a great time for Matt and I to catch up on our days and for Mason to play on the swings and slides at the park.  Mason loves to swing and he also LOVES watching the older kids run around and play.  During the day Mason and I stroll the streets of Western Springs enjoying the sunshine and being outside; 9 times out of 10 we hit up Starbucks and stop in to say hi to my mom.  Pictures are worth a 1,000 words so I don't need to tell you how much we are LOVING life!!!

Lincoln Park Zoo 

 On May 5, 2013 Mason Louis was Baptized at St John of the Cross! We started our morning off at our new favorite local joint Davanti and then headed over to the church.  Mason did a great job during the ceremony but he was defiantly the loudest in the group. A big THANKS to Mia for being Mason's godmother. And another THANKS to Aunt Megan and Uncle Dave for his little outfit.
