Hearing Test

Clara rocks her hearing test!

Welcome home Clara

We had quite the warm welcome home. Thanks family and neighbors!

Clara doesn't want to miss a thing....she is not content unless we are toting her around or rocking her to sleep. She helped Andy plan for a new shed in the back yard this morning! She continues to melt our hearts.

Homeward bound!

Visitors and more!

Today we were reminded of all the love and support we have through visitors, texts, emails, gifts, and more. Unfortunately I can't send email through the hospital WiFi on my laptop so we're having trouble sharing news with everyone. Clara also was seen by a pediatrician and underwent a series of 24hr health test for things like hearing, jaundice, etc….she passed them all!

Clara got to meet grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, cousins, and more!
