Maggie!

Margaret Alston Jones joined us on November 11, 2010, 12:12 pm. 7 lbs. 3 oz. 18 3/4 ". Tiny thing compared to Will. But healthy and being a really great baby at the moment... maybe she just hasn't woken up yet : )

Definitely a Thanksgiving to count our blessings! Big brother, Will, loves his new baby sister and CANNOT stop loving on her. But it's incredibly sweet and I guess he could be on the opposite end of the spectrum - upset over the new addition and wondering why she's getting all of the attention. He gets super excited in the morning... 'baby, baby, baby' when we come downstairs. Puts both hands out - like he's accepting a toy. And he calls her 'Mag-ney'. I love to hear him say her name!

It's been a great first two weeks... hard, but great. And we are really looking forward to spending the holidays with family very soon - and accepting the extra sets of hands!!!

Will and Maggie with JJ!

How I Found Him

So, Monkey Man took a very short snooze at school on Thursday. I decided the best thing to do would be to give him some 'quiet time' in his crib. After an hour of the 'quiet time', this was how I found him...

He had not slept. He was apparently too busy figuring his way out (and possibly back in) his shirt, tearing apart a book and playing with the baby monitor. He and his wonky hair seemed quite proud of themselves! Of course, there is no possible way to do anything but laugh!

P. S. I used the 'seventies' action on these photos!

Pioneer Woman Actions

So Carlley told me about the 'actions' you can download from a blog... Pioneer Woman... if you haven't been to the blog, go now! Anyway, if you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, you can download these actions to apply to your photos. SO MUCH FUN! It's saves me so much time and helps my total lack of 'know how' when I want to enhance my pictures. Compare to the same photo in my last post... total difference! Thanks Car!
