My Oldest: Clare Judson Johnson

So far on my blog we have heard a lot about Carolyn, and her sleeping habits, or lack there of, but only a small amount about Clare. Mainly that she can sleep thru Carolyn. Today I am going to change that, I am going to talk about Clare Judson Johnson and her amazing sweet spirit.

Lets start out at the beginning. The VERY beginning. When I found out I was pregnant I was Shocked to say the least. I had only been married two months and was taking care of my very elderly grandmother. That along with the fact that my husband and I had said we had never wanted kids made everyone a little worried when the found out about our pregnancy. Well nine months later on April 28, 2004 she was born. When the doctor handed her to her daddy I knew I was in love. It didn't matter I had been in labour for 9 hours and then the had to do a C section the pain just went away and in its place was the MOST BEAUTIFUL baby in the world. Clare is named after two very important people in her parents life's. She is named after my Great Grandmother who I adored Clara Marie Lawson. She is also named after her daddy's Grandfather Sam Judson Granberry who passed away weeks before she was born. Trust me she got both of these fine peoples excellent qualities.

The main way to describe Clare is sweet. She has a sweet, sweet spirit, she is the kid who will go and play with the new kid so they are not alone. I have never seen a child so in tune with other peoples feelings, she misses nothing. She doesn't like movies when an animal is hurt, it makes her cry. She has a smile that can light up a room. She prays when she sees an ambulance or a fire truck go by, that the people they are going to help will be okay. God gave me the most amazing gift when he gave Clare-bear to me. He gave me humanity, humility, love, peace and joy.

So see when I remember how wonderful my kids are being a mom is "easy breezy" I hope everyone remembers to praise God for the kids in your life cause even on bad days they are still your greatest blessing.

Be Blessed
