Our good friends Brendan and Steph are expecting their second child this summer and I couldn’t be happier for them. This past weekend Adam and I drove down to Portland to attend a baby shower to celebrate their new addition, and we had such a great time!
Brendan and Steph do not know whether they are having a baby girl or boy yet (yay for a baby girl!), so I decided to use some pink AND blue wrapping paper to wrap their gift, and personalized it with their last name, “Murphy.” I found some super fun “fuzzy” letters to include, that seemed to just make the gift pop! No pun intended Steph : )
We had a wonderful time playing games, sharing possible baby names, visiting, chalking the sidewalk with adorable Eamon (Brendan and Steph’s son) and eating great food with fabulous friends. I cannot wait to meet new baby Murphy! Congratulations Brendan and Steph! I’m so thrilled for you!

The moment Bren found out you guys were going to make the long trek down, he said “Does that mean Jenn may wrap something for us?!!” 🙂
We are so grateful to have you two as friends! Thank you for coming, and for the adorable gift (and perfect wrapping), the names, etc etc etc. It was so great to see you and we only wish we could have spent more time with you! XOXOXO 🙂
We were so excited to be able to come and celebrate you guys. You are amazing friends and we too wish we had more time to spend with you. Keep us updated on baby news! And I’m so glad you liked the wrapping 🙂
