Finding Time

Finding time to process photos and the sweetness of a new baby.
I'm linking up with Friday Finds at Kim's blog today.

It feels like I haven't processed photos in a very long time and this morning I'm falling in love with it all over again. (I've just spent too much time on my iPad… well... there's a season for everything.)
I believe there is more joy to processing photos of little ones than any still life I could ever put together. I've even printed these as I've processed them. Such beauty, such joy.
We've had a new grandson born this week. Crew Edward showed up without too much trouble at 10 lbs. 4 oz. with a head full of dark hair. I think the most exciting thing is to see how his big sister has fallen in love with him. I have the most awesome video but the lighting is dark so it's quite grainy. But I'm working on it in Photoshop with Camera Raw smart filters and hope to put it together with a few shots for a short movie. It's a heart melter so I must make it work.

 I caught daddy kissing daughter kissing baby but unfortunately his cap was a bit in the way. I told him at least he knew it was a random moment and is preserved in a photo.

A very proud Paw Paw.


And one last shot of that precious big sister who's learning to ride her bicycle.

A quick update on the craziness around here…. The utility room remodel is 95% finished… I could write a book! In fact I'll have a post soon on expectations. (uh, shaking my head… maybe that's enough to say right there.) And the pumpkins are still on my mantle… maybe this weekend… And my computer is now showing 1453 unread emails. That just can't be right. I need to unsubscribe to a few lists I believe.

Come on over to Kim's blog today and see what kind of great goodies everyone has found/discovered this week.

With regard to your email, things could be worse. My husband currently has 11,692 emails in his inbox! My head spins just thinking about that. Happy holidays!
