Clara Ruth

Well, Miss Clara Ruth finally made her arrival and only 1 day late.....Larkin said, "hey, she was supposed to be born on my birthday!" (I'll defer this one to Lori!...you got some splaining to do, Lori!) We are so happy she is here and it is just fine that she has her own birthday. Uncle Larkin was 5 on May 14th and Clara was born May 15th (our 5th grandchild). We are so happy and excited! Uncle Larkin is especially tickled.

Clara Ruth Newman was born May 15th at 12:42 p.m. and weighed 6 lbs 15 1/2 oz. She is 19 inches long. Mom and Clara are both doing well.

Isn't she beautiful!

Larkin is starting to enjoy using my camera. He took this picture in B'ham last weekend. He's a really neat kid and awfully intelligent! Go Larkin Go!

Larkin had fun last weekend in Gulf Shores. He played and played in the sand. Of course, we had to eat at the Original Oyster House, Lulu's, and Lambert's (Home of the Throwed Rolls). You won't believe this but Larkin ate a crab claw at Lulu's! He also ate an almond in Birmingham when we went to eat with Josh and Alicia and baby Caroline. My how my baby is growing up!


See my baby eating a crab claw for the very 1st time!

Sweet Baby Caroline "getting" Larkin. Larkin is great with babies, oh who am I kidding, everyone loves Larkin and Larkin loves everyone!


We spent the last weekend in April at American Girl in Atlanta, well the girls went to American Girl and the men went to the Car Show. It was a fun weekend. We met Grandmama and Granddaddy there along with Uncle Chris, Aunt Sissy, Olivia, and Jordan. We were blessed to have Seth and Katie and Jason and Brandy, Brookie, Brandon, and Taylor join us. Larkin loves everyone so much and loves for us all to be together. What an awesome weekend!

I hope you enjoy our blog. I try to keep it updated, but we are growing and growing up so fast that it is hard to keep up with. AND, I don't want to miss a moment. I went back to college at 30, with 2 children in tow... I graduated with my Pharm.D. in 1999. I married the best husband and father in the world and my best friend in 1999. I became a Mother again in 2003 to the most wonderful little boy. I also became a grandmother 10 weeks before my son was born to twins! Yes, Grandma had a baby! Thank God for this life and all of our wonderful family!
