Out with a Bang!

Please join us in welcoming our daughter Liberty May Murphy! She was born at 3:12 P.M., coming in at 6 lbs, 7 oz and measuring 20 in long. Although she took her sweet time getting here (over a week late), as the saying goes, good things are worth waiting for. Though Liberty was not the name we originally chose weeks ago, we thought it would be appropriate to have a patriotic name given the day. We decided on Liberty on July 3rd and we both loved the name instantly! It just felt right. Being born on the 4th of July is quite an honor and there was no better way than to ring in our freedom with Liberty! We know that Mal has been watching over this baby since the beginning so it was only fitting that Liberty shared May as a middle name with Christy’s beloved grandmother.

Mommy and new baby are both doing well and are excited to meet everyone! Our 4-year-old son Canton is especially excited to show off his new little sister. Thank you to all for your kind thoughts and good wishes during this time. We can’t wait for you to meet Liberty!

Its been a long day so more pictures to come!
