Thanks so very much for the wonderful birthday party on Saturday. I can hardly believe our precious little girl is three! As time goes by, I realize how we should be so grateful to our Lord for every opportunity we have to spend time with family and friends.
Special Thanks
A very special thank you goes out to those members of our family who went out of their way to help us out while Valerie and I were tending to Thomas. Maggie Sue's Nana & Papaw stayed with Maggie at her house and kept her busy with shopping trips, hide & seek games, adventures and spoiling her rotten in general. Melissa and Olivia came to the rescue when they drove down to our house at 5:00 AM on Friday when Valerie was going into labor. And a general thank you to all friends and family who visited at the hospital, called with support and congratulations and those who sent gifts, cards and well wishes.
Thomas Scott Kinman
Our big day has finally arrived! Our family has grown with the blessing of Thomas Scott Kinman. He joined the family on Friday April 3 at 8:16AM. He weighed 8 pounds, 1.2 ounces, and measured 22 inches long. Due to C-Section delivery, we stayed in the hospital until Monday afternoon, then we all came home. Thomas is doing great, he is nursing very well, and most of the time he is calm, cool and collected. A few times, however, he has displayed a little bit of the infamous Kinman temperament. Valerie is doing very well also. She is healing very well, and getting along very nicely. Maggie Sue is absolutely crazy about her baby brother. She brings him toys to play with and reads him books. She is being a great helper and is even "helping" us change his diapers.
Crunch Time
Our new family addition is coming soon. We have about 2-4 weeks to go and what we are going to have nobody knows!
Photo editing software
A few people have asked me which software I use to edit my photos. Since February 2008, I've been using Adobe Lightroom version 1.0. I ordered it on the webpage www.journeyed.com. I got an educational discount from "a source" I won't disclose in case the FBI checks out kinmanphoto.shutterfly.com, which I'm sure they do on a regular basis. Anyway, the discount made it affordable. The software is professional, but easy enough that I became proficient in a few weeks. If anyone is interested in more info about it, just email or call.
By request I've added links to two free photo editing downloads that I've used in the past. They are both good, and both free.

Looks like to me that the Easter Bunny was pretty good to Maggie Sue! Thomas is just beautiful. I cannot wait to snuggle with him!

Hi Karla, thanks for checking in. We use backdrops from Backdrop Alley. They are like bed sheets, only a bit thicker and much larger. They have a large hem on one side that we thread through a backdrop support sytem. You could easily replicate backdrops by using bedding sheets, and don't limit yourself to just black and white either.

I am so glad the girls had fun in the barbie jeep. Sydney drove a lot of miles in that! I will show her the pics. She will be excited that they rod ein it!

? for you...what do you use for your white and black backdrops? Is it a sheet?

I love the belly picture with Maggie Sue...too precious!

Maggie is so beautiful! I can't believe how big she is. I can't wait to be a mom- you make it look so fun!

I feel bad for Maggie...it's obvious from these pictures that she gets no love. :) I'm looking for a good child photographer...maybe Jeremy missed his calling?!? Your pictures are AWESOME! I can't believe how much Maggie is growing up.
