Yes, it's not easy being this pregnant and chasing around a 5 year old and a 2 year old, but they are so adorable and sweet. I know I'll look back on this time with fondness as our life gets even more hectic when baby #3 arrives. I'm trying not to wish the days away as being pregnant gets more and more uncomfortable.

Our tent even had it's own air conditioning unit! It's definitely a site to be seen. We had a great spot by the beach and the kids had a blast. Great food, including eggs, bacon, grits, and toast for breakfast and homemade wings, fries & salad for dinner. Delicious! Allen's family has been doing this since his parents were kids. They stay for a whole week each summer. We stayed for 3 days...maybe next summer we'll stay longer but then we'll have 1 more kid in the mix!</div><div><br /></div><div>Camille LOVED "driving" the boat!<br /><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/TA5LvW6bxZI/AAAAAAAAAo4/WpheCq5Woqo/s320/IMG_0678.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480401073533076882" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; " /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span> <div><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/TA5Lv4fcKYI/AAAAAAAAApA/u7B8Q-ctlbs/s320/IMG_0685.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480401082546661762" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>When we got home we were unloading the car and all of the sudden I noticed a couple of cars parked on our street and a woman collapsed on the sidewalk. It was obvious she had been exercising. I called to Allen and he ran across the street to help her. Luckily, a woman happened to stop who was an EMT and had medical equipment in her car. She was able to help the woman and even give her oxygen. The woman eventually became conscious, but only knew her name. A woman from her neighborhood stopped who recognized her and was able to get in contact with the woman's daughter. A policeman, fire truck and ambulance all showed up at the end of our driveway, which was very exciting to Everett and Camille. The ambulance took her away and Everett and I said a little prayer for her. </div><div><br /></div><div>After that excitement, we finished unloading and unpacking...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Jean Joinerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01257210054580470077noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19464555.post-59804682997278514882010-06-01T17:28:00.013-04:002010-06-01T17:52:26.736-04:00This one's for GillianOne of my friends happened to click on my blog today and I got reprimanded for not having posted in almost a year. <div><br /></div><div>I guess I've been busy raising two kids and being preggo with #3. Plus, Facebook has become an easier venue for me to share thoughts and photos than the blog world. But I know my hundreds of blog friends have been so sad without me...so here's a little something:</div><div><br /></div><div>We went on a vacation with just our little family for the first time ever two weeks ago. We went to Seagrove Beach, near Destin, FL. It was such a nice time. Allen's been traveling a lot for work so it was fabulous to have a few dedicated days to ourselves. Plus, our children wake up at the crack of dawn, which can be a problem when traveling with families whose children sleep in until 10am. What is that??? So, we were out at the beach by 8am most mornings and although our kids did miss having playmates at times, I think we all bonded and became closer. A great first family vacation. </div><div><br /></div><div>Here are a few photos:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline;

If this small garden works out well, we're hoping to expand a little more each year.</div><div><br /></div><div>We'll keep you posted and may be sharing some of our produce this summer...depending on how it goes.</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/Sed3uVmrSXI/AAAAAAAAAeU/bL-m-rdtD-c/s320/IMG_6869+(Large).JPG" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325356722345953650" /><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/Sed3u1lnfrI/AAAAAAAAAek/qEZ6wpI2zOs/s1600-h/IMG_6871+(Large).JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/Sed3u1lnfrI/AAAAAAAAAek/qEZ6wpI2zOs/s320/IMG_6871+(Large).JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325356730931445426" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/Sed3ug9j_VI/AAAAAAAAAec/IGj8rKiHTh0/s1600-h/IMG_6879+(Large).JPG"></a><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/Sed3ug9j_VI/AAAAAAAAAec/IGj8rKiHTh0/s1600-h/IMG_6879+(Large).JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/Sed3ug9j_VI/AAAAAAAAAec/IGj8rKiHTh0/s320/IMG_6879+(Large).JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325356725394734418" /></a><br /><br /></div>Jean Joinerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01257210054580470077noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19464555.post-8338398332625455232009-02-23T15:55:00.011-05:002009-02-24T17:27:17.854-05:00My Top 10 Kitcheny Things<div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SaRrOnQ4BpI/AAAAAAAAAeE/_EJxFUoldHs/s1600-h/504472.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 209px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SaRrOnQ4BpI/AAAAAAAAAeE/_EJxFUoldHs/s320/504472.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306484159751390866" /></a>1. <a href="http://www.janeskrazy.com/home.asp">Jane's Krazy Mixed-Up Seasonings</a> "Original Mixed-Up Salt". I love this rubbed on pork chops, chicken or steak. It's delicious in veggies, potatoes, etc. My mom always used this growing up and now I've really come to appreciate it.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div>2. Pasta Pot. I have a cheap one from Target we got as a wedding gift. It's just a regular oblong pot with a lid that sort of screws on. The lid has several holes in it so you can drain the pasta with the lid. I love not having to use a colander.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>3. Rubbermaid Stain Shield Containers. We have a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">small</span> set and I refuse to collect or use any other type of containers. I can't stand a bunch of mismatched lids and containers. (Probably need to convert to BPA free eventually but for now these will do.)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>4. OXO mixing bowls. They have non-slip bottoms and handles and a pourable side and are just easy.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>5. Coke Zero. It's really grown on me and I like it better than Diet Coke now.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>6. Spaghetti Pie.</div><div><div><br /></div><div>8 oz. spaghetti, cooked</div><div>1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese</div><div>1 egg, lightly beaten</div><div>1 lb. ground beef, cooked</div><div>2 cups spaghetti sauce</div><div>4 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese</div><div><br /></div><div>Toss cooked spaghetti, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Place in a 9" pie plate. Press along bottom and sides to form crust. Mix meat and sauce. Spread over noodles and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, let stand 5 minutes before cutting. 8 servings. </div><div><br /></div><div>I make this every other week...definitely a staple. Thanks to my <a href="http://kateprentiss.blogspot.com/">sister</a> for this one.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>7. OXO Locking Tongs with Nylon Heads. Got these as a gift recently from my DH and I'm loving them. They're perfect for non-stick pans.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>8. Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Muffin Mix. Delicious and often BOGO at Publix with a coupon!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>9. Baked-Crisp Parmesan Chicken.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil</div><div>¼ cup red-wine vinegar</div><div>½ teaspoon salt</div><div>¼ teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes</div><div>½ teaspoon dried oregano</div><div>1 garlic clove, minced</div><div>6-8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts </div><div>1 cup fresh breadcrumbs</div><div>¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese</div><div>2 tablespoons dried parsley</div><div>¼ teaspoon ground pepper</div><div><br /></div><div>1. Whisk together oil, vinegar, salt, red-pepper flakes, oregano, and garlic in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add chicken to marinade in dish, turning each piece to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, and pepper in a medium bowl. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. </div><div><br /></div><div>3. Dredge each chicken breast in breadcrumb mixture to coat; shake off excess. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. Bake chicken until breadcrumbs are golden and chicken is cook</div><div>ed through, 45 to 50 minutes. Using a spatula, loosen chicken from sheet before serving. </div><div><br /></div><div>You can estimate the ingredients, depending on the amount of chicken you're cooking. I make this one all the time too.</div><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SaRqQalgw0I/AAAAAAAAAd0/5iQJsOXjlMo/s320/STRETCHTITE.JPG" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 140px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306483091196396354" /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>10. <a href="http://www.stretchtite.com/">Stretch-Tite Plastic Wrap</a>.

Then he wavered between a robot and Superman for awhile. Allen and I really wanted him to go as a robot because we thought it would be more creative. Plus, his Superman pajamas were missing the cape.<br /><br />Alas, after a trip to Home Depot to buy the robot making essentials, he no longer wanted to be a robot. Instead of insisting that he be a robot, we settled for Superman. I went out the next day and bought material to make a cape. Allen and I put one together that night...which was no small feat since we don't have a sewing machine. All in all, I'm glad he was Superman. Half the time I had a hard time just getting him to wear his cape...it would have been impossible to try to get him to wear a whole robot costume.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SRIdL3eaJXI/AAAAAAAAAZE/R6gpseLHZRo/s1600-h/IMG_5591+(Large).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265303004056790386" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SRIdL3eaJXI/AAAAAAAAAZE/R6gpseLHZRo/s320/IMG_5591+(Large).JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Apparently Superman was popular this year.

I keep everything in a little pocket weekly planner, <a href="http://day-planner.daytimer.com/calendars-gift-diaries/Day-Timer-Pocket-35-Weekly-Planner/43E6D68123894483BE9FD91FFF34CF8C/False/1015#">day timer</a>, which I always have in my purse. I am a snob about it...it must be an actual "Day Timer", not a day runner or a day tracker or a day whatever. I LOVE IT! You keep track of your whole week on just one page, there are these little tear off corners which make it easy to keep track of what week you're on, and the planner is slim and tiny and hardly takes up any room in my purse. There have been a few panic-stricken times that I thought I had lost it but I luckily have never actually have. I have had one every year since 1998, when I was first introduced to them by my friend, <a href="http://stancils.blogspot.com/">Mia</a>. It's funny to look back on the old ones and see what I had going on. It's also a great place for me to keep track of my kid's milestones. Allen's tried to convince me lately to use Google calendar, but the thing is, I don't have Google Calendar with me when I'm at playgroup or at the park, etc. I guess if I had a blackberry, that would work, but since I don't, I'll keep my day timer for now. It works for me and for our family.<br /><br />Yeah for my 100th post...if you're keeping track. :) </div>Jean Joinerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01257210054580470077noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19464555.post-28577435438568830582008-11-01T09:27:00.012-04:002008-11-01T09:43:24.238-04:00Pumpkin PatchOn Monday we went to a little pumpkin patch at a church down the street.

Everett was almost 7 months when he began to sit up. I think this little girl is going to be quick to do a lot of things. She can already roll over both ways and she can even scoot a little bit on her tummy. I know she'll be chasing around after her big brother soon and I can't wait! My only fear is knowing what to do with the marbles, game pieces and leggos we have all over the floor once she becomes mobile! I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there.<br /><br />On a sad note, Everett lost his blankie bear, that he's slept with since birth, over the weekend. We were on our way to Gatlinburg, TN, for a family reunion and I stupidly let him take it with him into a gas station. I think he dropped it at the little arcade they had there and none of us noticed. We called the gas station a few times but they said they didn't find it and we went a different way home. I was more upset about it than he was, mainly because I wanted it for the memory. He does have a blanket that he sleeps with too so that will have to suffice.<br /><br />Here is the last photo we have of Everett and his blankie bear, in the car just before we lost him...sniff, sniff.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SPeqAyaZL5I/AAAAAAAAAWM/Oj7NIZn472M/s1600-h/IMG_5228+(Large).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257858020487540626" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SPeqAyaZL5I/AAAAAAAAAWM/Oj7NIZn472M/s320/IMG_5228+(Large).JPG" border="0" /></a>Jean Joinerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01257210054580470077noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19464555.post-15535316715722084212008-10-08T16:32:00.004-04:002008-10-08T16:42:32.698-04:00Working with DaddyAllen is about the most patient person I know and he's so great about letting Everett share in whatever project he's working on at the time. It's great because Everett learns so much and it gives Camille and me a little girl time. A couple weekends ago, Allen went out to work on the chimney on our roof. When he said he was bringing Everett along, I just had to break out the camera. I don't know many dads that would bring their 3-year-old up on the roof with them. It was pretty cute and not as dangerous as I thought. Our roof is pretty flat on that part of the house. Please excuse our nasty gutter...we're going to replace it soon.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SO0ajnOCmEI/AAAAAAAAAVs/31k1wDuAvp4/s1600-h/IMG_5150+(Large).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254885539336853570" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SO0ajnOCmEI/AAAAAAAAAVs/31k1wDuAvp4/s320/IMG_5150+(Large).JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SO0aqWiwZzI/AAAAAAAAAV0/aiV1YXmd_oc/s1600-h/IMG_5155+(Large).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254885655119423282" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SO0aqWiwZzI/AAAAAAAAAV0/aiV1YXmd_oc/s320/IMG_5155+(Large).JPG" border="0" /></a>Jean Joinerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01257210054580470077noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19464555.post-18266497664617674212008-09-26T16:24:00.007-04:002008-09-26T20:12:30.298-04:00i heart my kids<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SN1HVHVoF2I/AAAAAAAAAQU/jWhXXzhPcs0/s1600-h/IMG_5106+(Large).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250431168656447330" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SN1HVHVoF2I/AAAAAAAAAQU/jWhXXzhPcs0/s320/IMG_5106+(Large).JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SN1FSi6WXbI/AAAAAAAAAQM/lEvLWYXc8wE/s1600-h/IMG_5106+(Large).JPG"></a><br /><br />I'm in love with my kids these days. They are both in really enjoyable phases. Maybe I'm just in a good mood because it's Friday. I love that Everett will spend an hour by himself in our backyard digging for worms. I love that he'll sit in the back of the car singing, "Black, black sheep, have you a wroll?" at the top of his lungs. I love that he will boldly ask other kids at the park, "What's your name?" and "Do you want to play with me?" and even if he's met with resistance, he will continue to have fun on his own, playing with his imaginary friends, Bingo, Monkey, or his new friend, Dinosaur. He's never met someone he doesn't consider a friend. He's so full of love.<br /><br />I love that Camille will light up a room with her smile and will literally laugh out loud. She smiles and laughs even when her brother is all in her face and pulling on both arms. I love that she'll sleep on a blanket outside at Stone Mountain during the laser light show and even sleep through the fireworks at the end. She is so easygoing and handles every deviance from a schedule we throw at her. Though past 5 months with her have been a whirlwind, I can't imagine my life without her.<br /><br />Having two kids is tough with the feeding battles, potty training efforts, discipline issues, lack of sleep, etc. But I wouldn't trade it.Jean Joinerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01257210054580470077noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19464555.post-89239977229126903982008-09-23T15:43:00.005-04:002008-09-23T15:52:07.920-04:00Stinging Caterpillars<div><div>Allen and Everett were working out in our yard on Sunday, trimming back our iris plants, when all of the sudden Allen sat down and felt a horrible sting on his rear end. A few minutes later he came across these crazy looking caterpillars and when Everett touched one, it made his finger sting really bad. Then Allen realized he must have sat on one. The stinging lasted for about half an hour. Allen looked them up and they are called Saddleback Caterpillars. It turns out that we had tons of them all over our iris plants, just snacking away.

We've had T-Mobile for years but we don't get service in our house which means up until now we've had to have a home phone. We just switched to Verizon, which has great coverage, and now we can ditch our land line.<br /><br />So, if you want to reach us, you'll have to call our cell phones from here on out. Thanks!</div>Jean Joinerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01257210054580470077noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19464555.post-71697256422944123432008-06-25T17:29:00.004-04:002008-12-09T09:47:05.858-05:00Sleepy Baby CamilleI never took many sleepy pictures of Everett. I think I was too afraid to wake him up. So, here's one thing the younger one will have that the older one didn't. I'm trying to do a good job of this since I was the youngest and therefore neglected in all of my parent's photography. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGK5hGu1MkI/AAAAAAAAAPE/i-c03t233-s/s1600-h/Copy+of+Copy+of+IMG_3655.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215935296842314306" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGK5hGu1MkI/AAAAAAAAAPE/i-c03t233-s/s320/Copy+of+Copy+of+IMG_3655.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGK5bJYr-6I/AAAAAAAAAO8/ISqZo9-AFhg/s1600-h/Copy+of+Copy+of+IMG_3653.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215935194475527074" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGK5bJYr-6I/AAAAAAAAAO8/ISqZo9-AFhg/s320/Copy+of+Copy+of+IMG_3653.JPG" border="0" /></a>Jean Joinerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01257210054580470077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19464555.post-91931592537768401102008-06-24T16:46:00.011-04:002008-12-09T09:47:08.104-05:00Camille Elizabeth JoinerCamille Elizabeth Joiner was born on April 23, 2008 at 3:28pm. She weighed 8lbs. and 7oz. and was 20 inches long. She's adorable and has been a joy and a wonderful addition to our little family. Everyone keeps asking me what it's like with 2 kids and my response is usually, "better than I thought it would be." This post is a long time coming, I know. I was already behind on blogging/posting photos before we had her and now life with a newborn has reduced my capacity for things like this. Hopefully I'll be able to post many more things in the upcoming days now that I've gotten the ball rolling. :) <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div></div><br /><div>Here are some photos on our way to the hospital and of her birth:</div><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFriHhwY-I/AAAAAAAAAN0/RJSB5aiU4L0/s1600-h/IMG_3329.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215568077352100834" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFriHhwY-I/AAAAAAAAAN0/RJSB5aiU4L0/s320/IMG_3329.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFr8jO_w-I/AAAAAAAAAN8/eHHJ7V0VcAY/s1600-h/IMG_3335.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215568531466208226" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFr8jO_w-I/AAAAAAAAAN8/eHHJ7V0VcAY/s320/IMG_3335.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFsp4lOy2I/AAAAAAAAAOE/YL8_KfuaWpw/s1600-h/Copy+of+IMG_3339.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215569310290725730" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFsp4lOy2I/AAAAAAAAAOE/YL8_KfuaWpw/s320/Copy+of+IMG_3339.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFs9QZx4CI/AAAAAAAAAOU/JkNybbhcx6Y/s1600-h/Copy+of+IMG_3349.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215569643102658594" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFs9QZx4CI/AAAAAAAAAOU/JkNybbhcx6Y/s320/Copy+of+IMG_3349.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFtjChMNCI/AAAAAAAAAOc/Ma48prZABWU/s1600-h/Copy+of+IMG_3360.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215570292210676770" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFtjChMNCI/AAAAAAAAAOc/Ma48prZABWU/s320/Copy+of+IMG_3360.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFtoqku06I/AAAAAAAAAOk/nGsk914qHP0/s1600-h/Copy+of+IMG_3364.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215570388862292898" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFtoqku06I/AAAAAAAAAOk/nGsk914qHP0/s320/Copy+of+IMG_3364.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFtwlZPdZI/AAAAAAAAAOs/Mk_qOa3XFB4/s1600-h/Copy+of+IMG_3387.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215570524910876050" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFtwlZPdZI/AAAAAAAAAOs/Mk_qOa3XFB4/s320/Copy+of+IMG_3387.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFuD_jepWI/AAAAAAAAAO0/2_nX7uGWhoA/s1600-h/Copy+of+IMG_3397.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215570858350650722" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFuD_jepWI/AAAAAAAAAO0/2_nX7uGWhoA/s320/Copy+of+IMG_3397.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFs2Ctq7BI/AAAAAAAAAOM/PJHTKa8YmjM/s1600-h/Copy+of+IMG_3435.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215569519168908306" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YNTHMHdPUFs/SGFs2Ctq7BI/AAAAAAAAAOM/PJHTKa8YmjM/s320/Copy+of+IMG_3435.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><div></div><div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Jean Joinerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01257210054580470077noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19464555.post-66685909184063785812008-03-25T09:16:00.007-04:002008-12-09T09:47:08.644-05:00Happy EasterHere are a few photos from our Easter.
