My name is Janene Renee Tindall - Welcome to my web site!  Below you will find my blog, a random stream of stories of my thoughts and experiences, including quotes, photos, links, and more.  My interests range the gamut from painting, drawing, crocheting, needlecrafts, and cooking to reading, antiquing, flea market shopping, traveling, journaling, and of course home and family.  See photos of my art and life by selecting the "gallery" link above.  Check out my etsy site (www.rusteddragonfly.etsy.com) for my latest handmade creations for sale.  On May 20th, 2007, my husband, Chris, and I welcomed our first child into the world, a son we called Benjamin Michael (www.thetindallfamily.com).  For right now, I am enjoying the life of a stay-at-home mom before I have to return to my job in October (part-time, hopefully).  Together we own a store called The Weed Patch (www.theweedpatchstore.com), where we sell country, primitive, folk art décor and gifts.  Sometime within in the next year I hope to get my small business up and running, called Rusted Dragonfly.  My vision is for Rusted Dragonfly to be a one-stop shopping resource for unique paper arts, collage, mixed media, assemblage, and journaling supplies and toys, but for now I am selling my own handmade art and craft goodies.  We’ll keep you updated with photos and musings on my blog below, so please feel free to check in often and enjoy the journey with us!

Welcome Benjamin Michael Tindall

Chris is writing this, as Janene is so tired she can't function, and Benjamin is sleeping on her at the moment....OH - We have a baby boy!

Benjamin Michael Tindall was born at 4:51 am on Sunday, May 20th.
He weighed in at 9lbs 5oz, and was 20" long.

Janene went into labor at 3am on Saturday morning. We were admitted to the hospital around 3pm. Janene's total labor was 23 hours - plus 3 hours of solid pushing every 2-3 minutes. At the end of this ordeal the Drs decided that this guy just wasn't going to come out without a c-section. So off to the OR it was, and a C-Section was performed. Really amazingly quick.

Since then, we've been at the hospital; Janene developed a fever (it hit 102.8 at one point) that got her onto antibiotics. Benjamin has a touch of jaundice, but is doing fine otherwise.

Today (22nd) was a very tough day - he was in a lot of pain, as all of his systems are still coming online (wow - I'm a nerd...). He's had some stomach cramps that kept him from being comfortable most of the day.

Anyway, we'll be posting photos on www.thetindallfamily.com as soon as we can - I was going to do that tonight, but the hospital limits what I can do through their wireless connection, and I can't get in to any of my admin stuff. So tomorrow night it will hopefully be.

Speaking of tomorrow, we'll probably be headed home tomorrow at some point. Please don't just drop in on us, at least until we give the ok for that - we would LOVE to see everyone, but we need to pre-approve it via phone to make sure timing is ok. So call Chris' cell and we'll set a time to hang out! :)

On a side note, since Janene has had a C-Section, we will not be that mobile for a while, as she needs to heal. Chris will be sticking pretty much right at home for at least 2 weeks, as Janene can't do much (she can do some, but overdoing it would be...BAD.)

Keep your eyes on www.thetindallfamily.com, and we'll keep you updated! :)

Chris, Janene, Benjamin
