Because we came home on December 23rd - the family all came together at our home that 1st Christmas. Clayton's 1st winter was so cold, snowy & icy that we actually did stay in with him the full 6 weeks that is recommended. Clayton proved to be an irritable, fussy baby (typical of many firstborns - difficult!), but he did love to snuggle and be held. He was adorable and chunky and we cherished our sweet baby boy.
Since those first months, today Clayton is still a reminder of the sweet miracle of Christmas.
I could never have imagined 7 years ago what Clayton would be like today........
a Christian.
a big brother to 2 little boys.
a huge help to his Daddy and me.
a loving grandson, nephew, & cousin.
an awesome student and reader.
a hilarious joke-teller.
a giver of smiles & hugs.
a lover of the outdoors (but not very competitive).
a wild-child! - who keeps us on our toes.
a compassionate & funny friend.
a child who is generous and giving.
a child who (at times) is full of mischief.
We are so proud of the boy he is becoming!
We love you Clayton - Happy Birthday!
