Baby Clare







Baby Clare Marie was born on Monday at 0840. She weighed 8 lbs 7 oz and was 21 inches long! That's almost the exact same size as the boys were when they were born. Melissa is doing so much better with the recovery this time compared to last time. She is up walking around, going up and down stairs, and even rocking little Clare to sleep. Michael is very excited to have his new sister at home. Hank doesn't seem too interested. We are all relieved to be home now and we appreciate all the calls and well wishes. Special thanks goes to Abbie "Fat Bear" Haley and her friend Tricia for coming all the way to North Carolina to watch the boys while we were in the hospital. We can't wait for everyone back home to see young Clare. She is the sleepiest baby of all time! -Joe

So glad to hear the recovery is going well, Mel. Take it easy, though! Clare is beautiful. We can't wait to come out there and smother her with kisses
