Belated Thanksgiving Pics & Early Christmas

We've been a little slack lately in posting. Like everyone, we've been busy for for the holidays; getting used to being parents, eating Turkey, finishing our Christmas shopping and trying to get sleep any chance that we get!

Here are some good ones from Thanksgiving:

Everyone sneaking Franie turkey = sleepy Frankie.

Our little Turkey.

Kyself, Ricky & Chris went hunting Thanksgiving morning. I was a little sleepy. Somebody put a bow in my hair.

This past Saturday, we went to the Barn for Early Chrismas with Crystal's Grandma. As always, my Baby did an excellent job decorating. You would think that she did this for a living.

Uncle Danny & L.

Sleeping with Nanna.

Amanda & Gene.

Sitting with Great - Grandaddy. His belly has the magical abiliy to make any baby quiet down and go instantly to sleep.

Happy as can be...

Daisy couldn't stand it, and had to get in on the snoozefest.

Mom, Mark & Caleb.

Uncle Chris & L.

The whole family.

Do ya think that he is used to getting his picture taken?

Take No. 1 with the 10 second timer.

Take No. 2.

Merry Christmas from the Osborne's!

Go Pack!

Yesterday our little family had a lazy day...we sat around watching the State game and movies all day. We decided to dress London up in all her State gear before she grew out of it since she is growing like a weed and some of her gear was for newborns. The hat and booties were given to her by her grandma and the paci came from aunt mary...thanks guys! Even though she looks slightly like a little boy in this outfit, we think she is adorable and had to capture the moment with a family photo :)

Hanging out with daddy...

Go State!

Our Little Angel, Spooky Woods & Snow

This past Wednesday, 11.18.08, the family met at the barn to celebrate Mary's birthday (albeit, a little late, thanks to the early arrival of London.) We all had a great time. London enjoyed seeing her Aunt Joyce & Unlce Danny, Grandma, Great - Grandma, Grandaddy, Uncle Ricky & Aunt Mary.

Here she is cooing and smiling at Ricky.

Being awake makes London sleepy.......She sleeps about 16 - 18 hours a day. Most of her awake time seems to be in the early afternoon and the middle of the night...Mom and Dad are very SLEEPY!!!

Deep thoughts...

Jedi Master...in Grandaddy's hands.

That night, I took the camera outside when I took Frankie on his last bathroom break of the day. Two things that you will notice here:

1 - I REALLY need to rake. I am just waiting on all of the leaves to fall so that I can use Grandad's huge leaf vacuum.

2 - The woods behind our house are REALLY spooky at night-time. It's over a mile straight back before you come to any other houses.

The next morning we woke up to a pleasant surpirse...SNOW! That damn Global Warming, I tell you.

and Finally, C and I got to go out for a nice dinner to ourselves. We dropped L off at Nanna's (who was SUPER - EXCITED to be babysitting) and had a nice couple hours to ourselves. We missed our little booger though, and hurried back right after dinner to be back with her. We can't get enough of her!!! She is exceptionally well - behaved. She gives a good 15 minutes worth of grunting and squirming before she breaks out into full scale crying, so you have plenty of time to change / feed / comfort her before you have a fussy baby on your hands. I have been around TONS of infants in my lifetime, and I can honestly say, she is one of the most well - behaved I have seen. We are truly blessed! Now I just hope that this continues all the way into the teen years!!!

One Week Old

Our little girl is one week old today!! I'm still getting used to the fact that holy crap, I'm a MOM, but I can't imagine life without her. She is an amazing little person :)

Sleeping beauty...

Her hair stands straight up after we wash it...it's awesome!

Going Home Today!

And we can't wait!! A few more pictures from yesterday and this morning. The days have really run together in a 24 / 7 facility like a hospital. We're tired, but got some good rest last night. L slept great between feedings and wasn't fussy at all! We are so thankful for her...she is an Angel! Thanks for everyone's support, visits and prayers. Look out world, here she comes!!!

Love,
The Osbornes

Daddy is soooo sleepy!
