the Jones Family Grows Again

Congrats Ronda & Jason Henderson and Big Sister Madeline!!

Here is the latest addition to the Henderson family, Katie Ann Marie. God blessed them with a healthy little girl on November 28, 2008. Katie Ann was 7 lbs. and 10 oz., 21 inches long. Her big sister Madeline, 3 1/2 yrs, is extremely excited.






Madeline is finally getting use to having a baby sister around. She does not like to have to share her mommy! Mom went down to Florida on the Wednesday before Katie Anne was born to spend Thanksgiving with them. While mom was down there, Madeline did tell Mimi (that is what she calls my mom) that she could take Katie Ann while mommy played with her. But, I talked to Ronda today and she said that Madeline is learing to share a little bet better.

Thanksgiving in Forest

This year was the year to spend Thanksgiving in Forest. It was alot different than most Thanksgiving in Forest. Instead of having lunch on Thursday at the house, Stephen and I help dad set up and serve Thanksgiving Lunch at the Methodist Church. We fixed take out lunch for all the city employees who had to work the holidays, people in the hospital and nursing home, in-mates, and some shut-ins there in Forest. We served lunch at the church for everyone. We probably served about 300 people. This event began about 4 years ago when a specific father's daughter had to serve time in the city jail. He wanted his daughter to still enjoy a Thanksgiving lunch. He donated the Turkey, Ham and gave $1000 to provide a Thanksgiving to not only his daughter and but also the others within the city that would also not having the opportunity to enjoy a nice Thanksgiving lunch. Below are some of the pictures from the event at the church. These pics were taken by Stephen with our new camera!!!!



After lunch at the church, we hung out with Amy (my twin) and Chris (her husband) at their house in Lake, MS. Below are some pics of them along with thier dogs - yes friends, she loves all of her doggies just like I love my Reeses and Rolo! We also got to go hunting with them. Stephen and I attempted to take pictures of us in the shooting house. Amy did kill a deer but I only killed time but it was killing time with my hubby!

iPhone and Suprising Husband

Oh, my! I know it has been forever since I have updated our blog. But my friends, I think I have found something that will make updating easier! I am currently updating from my iPhone.
Stephen tried to suprise me with it Wednesday of this week! I say tried because AT&T sent me an email at work right after he bought the phone because I am the authorized user of the account. He got so mad because feels like he is never successful at suprising me! I tried to tell him that I was suprised but he was still mad about the email. But I still have the greastest husband every! How many of you have such an awesome phone all because of your husband?

Oh, and to add to his suprising, he has also purchased me a phat camera. It is a cannon digital SLR with 4 lenses. That should be here first of next week. I'll keep you posted on it's coolness as well. :)
