Welcome home, Samuel

 This is me getting Samuel dressed for the first time. I was so nervous. He is so tiny, I imagined him being so much bigger. But perfect none the less.
 Ready to go home! We had to spend two nights in the hospital for baby Sam. We got to come home on Feb 23 and man was I ready.
 Almost to small for his carseat but we made it. How do you not love that face!!!
 Samuel's room was ready and waiting. We had just finished it. We were not expecting him for another two and a half weeks. Our room was not ready. Clay spend the two days we stayed in the hospital getting it ready so we could sleep upstairs with Samuel. Way to go Daddy!
Welcome home, Samuel! Phoenix Farm. What a beautiful place to wake up to each day. Sometimes we take the everyday beauty for granite in our loves. This day especially I enjoyed how wonderful and blessed we are to live in such a beautiful place. I can only pray that Samuel will appreciate it each and every day.

Samuel Clifton Holmes




So on Feb. 21, 2012 we got to meet our little boy! Samuel Clifton Holmes. He weighed 6 pounds and 2 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. It was a great experience. My water broke at about 0200 on the 21st and Samuel made is entrance at 1130. The first thought I had was " he is so small." I am able to spend the next 12 weeks at home with him. I am not a home body so I am a little nervous, but I am sure he will keep me busy!
