I love the video and all the pics below! You do such a great job with all your pics and videos!

I think you should write out your daily schedule. Partly because I am curious and partly because someday, one of the boys might ask, how did you do it, mom? And you might not remember!

Wow. All of these pictures, videos, slide shows and memories - you two must be exhausted! It's great you have each other and your boys are as lucky to have you as you are to have them. Can't wait until I have babies - you make it look like SO much FUN!

What a wonderful presentation to share how your family has been blessed this past year. I had one of my co-workers watching it with me - we both would go - "ohhh - awww - how cute..." - everyone probably thought what in the world is going on in her office? :) That was excellent - and thanks for the warning to get ready for tears!! :)

What a beautiful year it has been! You are truly blessed. You are so talented with your camera! It was fun to see the pregnancy photos. My favorite photo has to be the one you did with the pumpkins where they are the only thing in color.

OH. MY. WORD. How do I explain to coworkers the tears dripping down my face? I'm bawling here, literally! That was the most perfect blend of photos mixed with video clips and selection of music! I watched the entire 12 minutes (wondering when it would end and the tears would stop!) You did an AMAZING job!

Amy from Occupation: Mommy said...

Wow, that was fantastic! There were so many great pictures, I can't even start to pick my favorite!

yes i agree, pretty pleeeease post your typical daily schedule with the boys! I have only 2 kids and find it hard to find enough time to spend quality time with each without them both wanting me! Also, how do you tell the boys apart? Do they wear special name bracelets? I know of a family with triplets that did that!

Lovely. Just lovely.

I don't know how I found your blog, but your boys are adorable! I also noticed the Purdue sweatshirt worn by "Daddy"...I went to Purdue so GO BOILERS! I'm just curious which hospital you delivered at. I am a NICU nurse in Chapel Hill, NC and am fascinated by how well you did with the four boys!! Keep up the great work!

I must confess, I'm a lurker. Found your blog through the Harris Quads. Precious babies and such a sweet first year video. I also loved the song. Could you post the artist and title? Keep the pictures coming.

Jodi said...

What a beautiful video! It is amazing to see how far the boys have come in a year. They are absolutely adorable! What a great video to always remember what their first year was like.

That was so sweet....I loved it. It is so great all of the pictures you have-I know you have to be so busy and I'm sure sometimes it's hard taking them all-I regret that I haven't taken enough of my kids....they grow up so fast!!
They are so precious. What a blessing it is to see your family and to know all of the miracles the Lord has worked in your lives--we rejoice w/your family!! I know you all cherish every day with your sweet babies. :-)

Krissy said...

What a great slideshow! The love you and your family has for those boys radiates from the computer screen! And I have always resonated deeply with that Watermark song. Beautifully done!

That was such a beautiful tribute! Congratulations, Murrays! I am a blubbering mess, but I loved every minute of it. And, I'm going to watch it a few more times at least. I know you know this... but, you are blessed exceedingly and abundantly!!

That video is gorgeous!! I love the songs you used! I live here in Indy, and I forget where I was, but I totally heard someone talking about you and the fact that Indy has quads!! I was standing there thinking I had to tell you! ;)

I am a nursing student at Harding and found your blog through Suz's. My girlfriends and I love to sit and read all of your fun updates. We especially liked the video of getting stuck in the toybox...we laughed and watched it over and over. It is apparent that God has chosen yall to do this amazing job of raising these 4 precious boys. I don't even know yall, but I know they are so blessed to have yall as parents. I admire your strenght and dedication to the Lord. Oh, and this video was awesome. I didn't grab tissues like you suggested, but I sure wish I had :)I will continue to pray for your precious family.

Brad and Jen,

BEYOND sweet. Thank so much for taking the time to put that together, and for sharing with us! All three of my boys and I watched together and really enjoyed it. My oldest just kept counting your boys...."There's one....two...three...four"...in each picture :-). It was so sweet. God bless the six of you!

I came over from Lady Why's blog. What precious boys you have! Very blessed indeed. Your house fits the verse "make a joyful noise unto the Lord!"

Julie D. said...

I am a fairly new addicted follower. Your 4 boys are the most precious little guys (well beside my two - ages 20 & 18). Watch out in about 15 years, the girls are going to go crazy over these cuties pies! Thanks for sharing them with us in the blog world. God is Good!

Amy said...

I have an Isaac Edward too! Watch for him to be a real personality! :-)

Blessings on your beautiful family!

MaryBeth said...

Just found you through a trips/ quads blog list. You did an amazing job with the first year montage! I loved the music, and the pictures of your family were beautiful. I always imagined myself as a mother of 3 or 4 boys, but God had other plans and I ended up with four girls! I'll definately check back often for updates on your handsome little fellas!

Meg said...

Just precious!!!!!!!

Jenny said...

What an incredibly beautiful family you have!! Loved the video... especially the pics with all of their little bums in the air. TOO CUTE! Be blessed!

My goodness. I'm pretty new to your blog, I'm used to pretty good sized toddlers running around, seeing the boys that little was startling. I believe the smallest baby I've ever been around is my nephew, at 7.2 lbs. God has blessed you friends.

talexander said...

I read your story in the Hendricks County Section of the Indy Star. I couldn't wait to get on your blog and see more. How Amazing!! You have a beautiful family with four busy healthy boys. They are going to look back and really appreciate all the great memories you are creating now that will last a lifetime. You and your husband are truly doing an amazing job and have been truly blessed.
