Miss Clara Elizabeth





Clara Elizabeth Watson arrived on April 1st at 11:23 pm and our hearts overflowed with joy. At her grand entrance Clara weighed in at 6 lb. 13 oz. (not bad for being a month early!) and was 21 inches long.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Leah was convinced most of the pregnancy that another boy was on the way and is still giddy with the realization that she has a girl. Mark is so smitten with his little lady that one look at her brings tears to his eyes. Ben goes back and forth between excitement and showing everyone the baby to ignoring her in hopes she may just go away.

We are happy. We are tired. We are a family.
