Our Best Gift of the Year...



Our precious new addition to the family, Chloe Layne Murphree, was born on December 7, 2009 at 12:29 p.m. She weighed 6 lbs 15 oz and was 19 inches long. She was delivered by c-section which was scheduled. She is absolutely perfect and the best gift we could have received over the holidays and the entire year of 2009! Adilyn is adjusting well as a big sister and adores Chloe. She calls her, "my baby." My heart overflows with joy every moment that I look at my two little girls that the Lord has blessed us with. Being a Mom is such an amazing thing and more of a blessing than I ever thought it could be. We are having to adjust our schedules and routines just a bit and looking forward to the moment that it all clicks together. We are very tired and exhausted but it is worth every minute. Here are a few pictures that were taken by our good friend Lezlie Andrew. She captured some very special moments of Chloe just a couple of hours after she entered this world. I love her dearly and am so thankful for her and her talents! Check her out at www.lezlieandrew.com, she is an exceptional photographer!



Proud Big Sister!



Sweet moments with Mommy!


Already cherishing his Daddy/Daughter time with her!

It has already been 1 month since she was born. Time is already flying by way too fast. She weighed 8 lbs 8 oz when she went to the doc last and we go back again next Wednesday. She is growing like a weed and changing in looks. Her hair is red like Adi's and she has blue eyes. She looks a lot like Adi did when she was born but has some differences also. She is very demanding and a little high maintenance already! :) I don't think that will change! More updates and pictures to come. Sorry it has taken me so long to get these posted but things are a little crazy around the Murphree household!
