Murphy Memoirs: Nash's First Thanksgiving!

Wow. We have SO much to be thankful for this year....a happy, healthy, amazing kiddo named Nash Thomas. He's truly the light of our days and I can't fathom him not being in our lives. We have had an amazing year, supported by so many family and friends throughout the months. From Nash's birth, to deciding on a new job for Matt, to quitting my job, to moving to Hendersonville, new jobs, and finally finding a home we love...we are so blessed. God truly does have a plan - and even though it was difficult to trust in that (moving to a new town with hardly any friends with a 5 month old), it has all worked out and we are so thankful.

Holidays are always a great time to see family and get to relax....but something about having kiddos surrounding you makes it even more special. This year was Indiana's year for Thanksgiving, so Nash got to hang out with his cousins Macy and Mya, his aunties Jessi and Katy, uncles Ty and Clint, and Grandma Kay and Grandpa Joey.

We drove home on Tuesday evening and got to my parents house late...Nash was wide awake for a few hours when we got home - and made for a long day on Wednesday. My family was passing around a pretty yucky tummy bug while we were home, so we were sure to steer clear of that and it actually worked! We avoided the bug, even though it meant we didn't get to see Daddy very much for a few days. He was sure to make up for lost time with Nash (see pic below). We just made the most of visiting family...Daddy fried a turkey on Friday evening, and we took off for Bloomington on Saturday morning. Unfortunately, Nash wasn't a fan of great grandma Harshman's homemade dumplings just yet....boy, does he have a lot to learn! :)

We also got to visit great grandpa Nash before driving back to Nashville, it was so good to see him. He seems to be doing well with his radiation/chemo treatments - so hopefully that continues and he keeps feeling pretty good!

How about some cuteness in pictures? I thought so...
