Welcome to the family, young man

This morning, we received the great news that Suzanne's sister, Renee, had successfully delivered a baby boy. I hope husband Bill doesn't mind me sharing his e-mail:


Friends and Family,

Renee and I are excited to announce the birth of our new baby boy William Hebert Clements at 9:00am this morning. The baby weighs 7 pounds and 12 ounces, and is 21 inches long. Mother and son are doing great. Many thanks for all the love and prayers.

Here is one of the first pictures of the handsome young chap. There is no feeling like holding a child of your own for the first time and I know they will always cherish that moment.

Congrats Clements family!!!

Happy First Birthday, Big Little Man

Patrick's First Birthday Party

Patrick experienced his first birthday party on Saturday at our home. It is truly baffling where all the time has gone. Nevertheless, we celebrated with style with our family and a few close friends. Among those in attendance: Nana, Pawpaw, Bebe, Pops, Aunt Colie, KK and Johnny, The Mills, and the Parnells. The weather was perfect and the cake was not far behind.

The only baffling aspect of the day was the fact that Patrick was very delicate with his cake. We both truly felt that he would absolutely destroy it! Enjoy the pictures.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers out there! I think Jacob summed it up best yesterday when he told Suzanne, "Your my best friend." How appropriate! And at just the right time.



For the record, Jacob and Patrick have the best mother in the world (no offense!) And I am very fortunate to have a fabulous mother myself, not to mention a pretty doggone good mother-in-law.
