wishing and waiting


So we're all anxiously awaiting the arrival of little Murphy. There's been a lot of this date and then this date, etc.. but we're literally down to any day now. We're told if he doesn't come on his own this weekend, the doctor will induce on Monday. Phil and Marilyn arrived on Tuesday so it's been nice to have the grandparents here: they're just as excited as we are. We'll keep everyone posted with pics and news as the weekend unfolds. Here are a few pics from the shower that my family hosted in June...














(the sweater was hand-knit and funny enough, Phil had one just like it 60 years ago)













Matt's mom-Linda and sister Kerry

Congratulations Matt and Leslie on the arrival of your son. So enjoyed the pictures!!!
what a sweetie!! Even though Justin is 31, I still remember the day he was born and the excitement surrounding the big event!! Some days may be long, but remember the years will fly by and before you know it your son will be a man too!! Enjoy every minute!!!
Love, The Cooks

Baby Murphy (^-^) looks a lot like another M.Dunn... Michael Turner Dunn.

OMG, what a cutie! Matt looks SO tired/emotional in one of the pictures, but hey - why wouldn't he?! Congrats and best wishes - this is only the first of many sleepless nights, and amazingly enough, you'll probably look back on them if not fondly, than in appreciation of what you've brought into the world. Love the name, take care of all of you, and I second Jeanne's question: is he my 1st cousin twice removed? Is he Sarah's 2nd cousin? Dang this geneology stuff!

Hi Matt, Leslie and Murphy!
WOW! He's growing up so fast!!
Better start that college fund alright!!! My vote: U of P???
Bet Grandma Linda is having a great time,she was such a good mom!I'm sure she doesn't mind getting up at night with Murphy!! It got old with our own kids maybe, but not with the grandkids, speaking from experience!! Everyone Enjoy!!!
Keep the pictures coming!!!
