First baby of year born to Jason and Michelle Clark

Zoey Grace Clark has the honor of being the first baby born this year to a Wrangell couple.

She was born Jan. 7 at the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage, weighing in at 7 pounds, 11 ounces and measuring 21.5 inches for the happy parents, Jason and Michelle Clark.

The dad works as a station agent at Alaska Airlines. Mom is a kindergarten teacher and has been with the school district about 10 years.

The family returned to Wrangell on Jan. 12, Jason Clark said. "We just beat the weather," he said of the snowstorm that blew into town.

Zoey is the second child for the Clarks. Their son, Oliver, is 17 months old. "He's not too sure what's going on," dad said.

Jason Clark has a daughter, Delilah, 12, from a previous relationship.

Zoey's grandparents are Mike Clark on dad's side and Deanna Horner and Jim Jenkins on mom's side.
