Baby Clay

In mid-September, we got to fly to Minnesota to meet our newest nephew/cousin, Clay Matthew.  He was born on Sept. 5.  People always say it, but its so true.  He is the cutest, sweetest little guy.  Very sadly, Benny and I were sick for awhile during our visit.  We even spent one afternoon/evening in 'quarantine' so as to let our antibiotics to kick in so we wouldn't get the knew happy family sick.  Despite the illness, we had a great time visiting with family and celebrating Clay's baptism.  Clay's daddy happens to be a wonderful pastor, so it was a truly lovely service.

Here are some pics from the long weekend in Minnesota:

Everyone!

Love for the newly baptized Clay.

We managed to have some time for fun at the park with Cousin Caleb.

The hotel had a pool!  Benny is like his mama.  After a short while, he was shivering and his lips turned blue.  We stuck our feet in the hot tub to warm up.

What a wonderful weekend!  Lucky for us, Clay is bringing his mommy and daddy to come and visit us in early December.  We can't wait!  (Especially Aunt Annie, because I never got to hold the little cutie.  Yucky strep throat!)
