And now, a couple words (and pictures) from mom

Hi all! What a wonderful welcome for sweet little Clark! Thank you!

I’ve been on the backseat of all the camera action until now. Last night, I took a couple while he was sleeping on my lap.

That hat is NOT going to fit him for very long!

And this morning, when I had some good daylight…

I love the “grumpy old man” face!

And now, a very warm and loving birthday wish for Abigail, who turns 8 today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ABBY! We love you SO much!

I have to stay in the hospital until tomorrow because Clark came too fast to allow me to get the full 4 hours of antibiotics for Strep B, so they need to observe him.

The family will be here this evening to eat pie and celebrate her birthday. Right now, Nate is taking a rose to the school and he’ll sit with her at lunch in the cafeteria.

She’s being a sport.

    Happy Birthday Abigail! Cogratulations on welcoming beautiful Clark! Sounds like it went mostly by the book. Glad to hear it. I regularly hit 30 or so blogs and I think this is my first blog birth. Born to a blogger who I read regularly, that is.

    Very happy birthday, Abby – sweet girl for being a sport.

    Welcome to the world, beautiful boy. So proud of you all.

    P.S. Seattle arranged some GORGEOUS weather for your two birthday kids. I can barely work for looking out my window…

  35. CarrieT Says:

    Congratulations to you all! See the pictures of sweet little Clark make me think back just a few months to when my grandson was born and look forward to the end of July when my grandaughter is due to arrive!

    I find it hard to believe that it’s already been 16 years since I had my last baby!

    Time does fly so quickly, hold them close and cherish them forever!

    Carrie
