Ben's Christmas 2009

After Ben opened Sissy's presents he got started on his own. Uncle Mark and Aunt Melissa and the boys had joined us by then. It was a GREAT afternoon!

When Ben opened his helmet he started saying and signing bike! He did not know he was getting one! nor has he had one in the past. Smart kid. I will post some video of the bike, it is tooo cute.

Coming Home!

We brought Clara home on Dec 26th. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to have us both discharged at the same time and only 2 days after delivery! Ben was in NICU for a week! So very thankful for Clara's health! We postponed Christmas celebration until Clara was here, what a great present huh?

First Meeting

Ben finally meets the allusive Sissy!! He was so sweet! He recognized that she was a baby and sissy and then went to playing cars! He was even nice enough to share them with her!

The Arrival

Matt is particularly proud of this one because it makes him feel vindicated. He was sure she was going to be bigger than the drs and techs were estimating!

Clara Jeanne Womack was born on December 24, 2009 at aproximatly 1:40pm. She weighed 9lbs 3ozs, was nearly 20 inches long, and has a nice full head of hair. Most importantly, completely healthy!

Santa, Sort of....

Okay, so now that the baby is over a week old I am finally getting around to some blogging. This first picture is taken the week she came. We found it pretty amusing and hope you all enjoy it too!

popcorn and movie with dad = priceless

Dinner Entertainment

Last Saturday Mom came into town. We went to Cracker Barrell for dinner. Ben was hamming it up.

LumberJack Ben

It has gotten cold in Tn, well cold for Tn! Ben has a new jacket and hat he is sporting around. He kind of looks like he has puppy dog ears!

The bus got stuck. He was a bit irate.

Tower Building

The day after Thanksgiving Ben and I had a leasurly morning of car racing, puzzle solving, and mostly block building! I love that he loves blocks! We built 3 or 4 towers, a garage for his tonka cars and a number of other structures. This particular tower he did himself! he sorted out all the single blocks! He was so intense!

Turkey Bowl

Here are some pictures from the Jackson Ward Turkey Bowl. Only 9 guys showed up, but it still seemed pretty successful!
