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!!!
