Home at Last

Wow - we are loving having a new little Herring in the house. Clayton is just the best!


We enjoyed having several hospital visitors that welcomed Clayton into the world.

The proud Uncle Cameron

Clayton meeting Aunt Vicki and cousin Camen for the fist time.

Aaron's parents - meeting their 1st grandchild.

My mother - meeting her 10th grandchild.


Packed up and ready to leave the hospital.
We brought him home late Sunday afternoon.

His first night at home in the Moses Basket. Clayton slept really good - Aaron and I did not since we kept checking on him. :-)

We took him to his first pediatrician visit yesterday and the doctor said all is well - we are so blessed and grateful for a healthy little boy.

My mother gave him his first bath.

He didn't seem to mind a bath at all.

I just love hooded towels!

Brenda, Clayton is such a doll baby! I was so glad I got to see you on your way out Sunday. I think it's neat that you and Kristy were in the hospital at the same time. I loved all your pictures and I'm glad to hear everyone is doing well.

Words just cannot express the joy that floods my heart when I hold or even see pictures of our first grandchild. He is a precious miracle from God. We are soooo blessed! We talk to his pictures and talk ABOUT him ALL the time. Hope you are feeling better daily, Brenda. We love all THREE of you dearly. Love,
Clayton's Grandma Herring
