The long-awaited arrival of Claire to the Hansen household is finally here. And just 10 short days after she came home from the hospital, it's already hard to imagine this place without her. Of course, Emmett and Virgil were the first to give her a big, warm, Hansen-brother welcome (and a few sharp punches to the stomach.) And then there was the obligatory "everybody gets to hold the baby" pass around. At three weeks old, she already knows she's the little queenie around here. And she's going to make sure everybody else knows it, too.
