Smiley!

Are you tired of baby photos yet? Just let me know when you are, and I'll stop. But for now I'll just keep going. :D

Smitten

We're all a little smitten around here with this little guy. None more so than his daddy. And these are a few of my favorite pictures from the hospital. Mac had just joined us from the NICU, and was having some Daddy/little dude time. It's all so precious to me, seeing Josh with him.

Couldn't stay away for long!

There's just too much in me that needs to create something! So of course I've been in my (newly organized thanks to Sarah and Emma) scrap room playing when I've had a spare moment or two.





And because I have a newly organized scrap room, I've found a whole lot of older product I didn't realize I still had! Gee, imagine that! So I've been trying to put it to good use.

I couldn't pass up on these cute little animals in this older Making Memories paper line. I hand-cut them, then popped them up on 3D foam square to give them more emphasis. I hand-cut the flocked letters too, and I love the subtle texture they add!

And just for giggles, here's my latest favorite picture.


He'll be 3 wks. old tomorrow. Can't believe how fast that's gone!! Sheesh!

What a day!

Whew! Thank goodness Monday is over with! It's been quite the day, and definitely a Monday for sure. It started off with getting spit up all in my hair in this morning, which I thought was no biggie. But as I type, I've yet to get a shower. Ew! Also, SK decided she'd get sick today, in our bed no less, and she's continued to get sick all evening.

But what made the day most eventful was catching Caroline run through the dining room wearing what looked like a bad mullet wig. I quickly realized that it was HER hair, and immediately asked, "Caroline, where's the rest of your HAIR???!!!" Her response? "It's in my pink bucket Mommy," said as matter-of-factly as possible. I think my eyes bulged out for a second. Then reality hit as I tried to run my fingers through what was left of her hair.

And now we have a new hairstyle. Almost 9 inches cut off. Sigh....

Here, you can see how short it is in the back.

I keep telling myself it's just hair, it'll grow back.
And it's definitely not what defines us or our beauty.
But it's still hard not to be a little sad.
All those baby curls and blonde ringlets are gone,
and they probably won't grow back.
Not only that, but she looks so much more grown up now.

Well, hope you had a better Monday than I did!
Looks like we'll be shopping for tiny hair clips tomorrow....

Game On!

Last night I had a chance to put together a little card. I've had the idea for this one in my head for a while now, and I finally got to make it.

In case you haven't followed my blog for long, or don't know this about me, I'm a HUGE football fan! Especially college football. And this week was the SEC Media Days, which always starts us good Southerners talking about the upcoming season (if we hadn't started talking about already). So I thought I'd start the season my way, a scrap happy way, with a card. Game On! :D


I used American Crafts "Junior" line along with some Thickers, printed the football clip art from the internet, and popped the "on!" up on a popsicle stick.

One week

It's been one week since I've blogged, one week ago McClain was born, and for one week I've been a mom of 3. What a week it's been! We're all adjusting, and trying to get settled in. I'm quickly learning to take naps when I can (when the girls let me), and remembering just how HUGE a help my mom is! I hope to be a mom like her one day...

Anyway, here's kind of a week in review (so my mommy brain doesn't forget):

Mac weighed exactly 7 lbs. at his 1 week appt.

He's nursing exclusively, which the girls didn't do.
And thankfully, he's a great baby!

Sarah Kate is head-over-heels in LOVE with her brother.

And Josh turned 33. This is right before bedtime, Daddy with all the kiddos.

Welcome, McClain!

Introducing:

Joshua "McClain" Misner
July 15, 2010
6 lbs., 13oz.





Welcome to the world, Mac!
(please excuse the cotton puff-- he's had an IV in his head :)

Dee will be back, when she gets out of the hospital.
Mom and baby are doing well.
