Clara YouMei's Homecoming Pictures

Here are some more pictures from the Hammond Family Homecoming in Birmingham on Thursday night. It was so good to see all of their faces but I have to admit, I was most excited to see Clara and wanted to watch her every move. Erica (who looked great even though she just traveled for like 30 hours) set Clara down to walk once we had moved down to baggage. Clara had on those squeaker shoes (they squeak when you take a step) and we all just went wild over how cute that was. She really did well with all the attention. She didn't seem overwhelmed but definitely stuck close to her Mama. She was so curious about all the little gifts she was getting. She really liked the balloons and liked letting go of them and watching them pop back up into the air. We could have stayed there all night just watching this little angel interact with us all. But since we still had to drive back to Hsv, we slowly said our goodbyes and headed home. I haven't had a chance to talk to Erica since they have been home but I did hear that Clara loves her new room. Maybe we will get some new pictures and an update soon from Erica. I have enjoyed getting to do these updates. Thanks again for all your love for our family. Emily

    The last picture is so adorable! One thing I noticed in the pictures is that she never seemed to be smiling, but I know she was! So to all the people who haven't met her yet, she did smile a lot! Still praying for peace and rest for y'all! Love y'all!

    P.S. If it's ok, I know the girls would love to play with her this week! Let me know if she needs some more time though!
