meet baby...



Clara Jane 

arrived on March 9, 2011 at 5:21pm...
...all 7.5 lbs, 20.5 inches of wonderful.

She is absolutely everything that sweet little girls are made of, 
and she is the most precious thing I've ever seen.

I am fully enchanted with her every coo, smile, and scrunch of her nose.  

This is truly love at first sight.

Thank you for your kind words of love and encouragement at this exciting time, 
your words mean so much



*note: details and such for a different day...I just wanted to share some of her first pictures taken by her Grandpa.  I want to share some of the gems Tommy captured at the hospital soon!

    Welcome to the world, Clara Jane!

    Jes, she is a beautiful baby. And her name is...perfect. I couldn't be happier for you and Tommy.

    (Is that a little bit of red I see in her hair?)

    She is PERFECT.

    And want to hear something very weird? I had a dream about a week ago that I had a third baby...a girl...and I named her Clara Jana. (And that was before I saw your post). Crazy.

    It's a beautiful name, by the way...to match a beautiful little girl.

    So happy for you!
