A Day of Storms Outside ... Calm at the Clark Household

It's funny how having a little one suddenly makes you more aware of your surroundings and pay attention to details that in the past might not have caused any worries. Tonight's tornado warning and storms had us doing exactly that as we watched things developed and realized we had another life to tend to and keep safe.

In reflecting on the storms outside this evening the earlier part of the day was calm. James got a little bath today and didn't seem to mind too much - his umbilical cord stump is almost all dried up, and were hoping it falls out soon as it's a bit stinky! We had visitors over this evening for dinner - our new friends whom we met last week when Heather went into labor at their house as we were there for a bday party for a mutual friend of ours. It was fun to get to know them better and we are truly grateful for the people we've met in this journey of parenthood - it just keeps getting better all the time!

Tomorrow we plan to venture out of the house for a good portion of the day - it should be an adventure and we'll just take things as they come.

We again feel truly blessed to have welcomed little James into the world and we continue to give thanks for each experience we are sharing with him.
