Few things are amazing as that feeling when you first hold your new child. Anyone who is not a parent can not fully appreciate how huge of a moment that is.

This morning our very own Clarence Smith Jr. welcomed his first son into the world. True Iyall Smith entered the world this morning weighing in at a solid 6lbs 2.7oz and 19″ in length.

With a powerful name like that, this kid is going to go places. Never mind the fact that with the awesomely unique parents he has, he won’t have a choice. *grin*

I was fortunate enough to have Clarence over to the house on Friday night and we both knew that it was going to be the last time I saw him before he became a Dad and we talked about the variety of emotions, fears and joys that lay ahead. We’ve become really close friends in the time we’ve known each other and it made my day to call him this morning as soon as he texted me the news.

Clarence won’t be online much for the next little while for obvious reasons, but please be sure to leave your congrats here or on Flickr because I know he will be reading them.

There is nothing in the world like a new baby. Clarence, you’ve just started on life’s best journey. Enjoy every moment of it!
