Clark at 5 Months (September 2013)



Dear Clark,

You are truly a JOY, truly a BLESSING, and you make my life complete.  You are SO content, so easy to make smile and such a special part of our family.  When I think about how much better our family is because of you it makes me question if I could really be done with having babies...but at the same time I feel like my hands are full and you are the perfect completion to our little family!  We have been very blessed by your gentle and easy going personality.

EVERYTHING is going straight into your mouth these days!

YOU have changed all of our lives in so many ways.  I love that when I am driving I look back in the mirror and see you completely hamming it up with the biggest smile imaginable as your gaze into your sister's eyes and smile like there is nothing better in the world at that very moment.  She looks back at you and talks to you, sings to you, and just yesterday started gently squeezing your nose and making you laugh hysterically.  I was sitting in the front with your Daddy and the sounds of you two laughing in the back while we were driving was one of the best sounds I have ever heard.

It is my daily prayer and forever hope that you and Claire will be the best of friends.  I know that little brothers have a reputation for bothering big sisters, but I am hopeful we can overcome that stereotype.  Everyday I tell Claire how lucky she is to have you, how much fun she is going to have with you when you can play with her, and how much richer all of our lives are because of you.

I kind of feel like God broke the mold when he made you.  You are sooooo easy going.  As long as I feed you on schedule, and don't eat any wheat, dairy, gluten, or soy...LIFE IS GOOD, VERY GOOD.  You have such a happy heart and a gentle soul.  I am so excited to see the little boy that you will become...but no hurry in that, time is already moving much too fast.

Such a sweet post! Seeing all the adorable pictures of Claire and Clark takes me back a couple of years to when Nora and Asher were about their ages. We are now at the stage where Nora and Asher can really play well together, and they really are sweet little friends. (most of the time at least!) It sounds like you are setting a wonderful foundation to establish the same type of relationship between Claire and Clark :) Let's play soon! XO
