Christmas Eve

Go to sleep on Christmas Eve? ...

I don't think so!

Week 13

Wow, what another busy week for Lauren. Two of the highlights are below.

Lauren got to experience her first live basketball game and is already a big fan. As you can see by Lauren's reaction in the picture - the Harding Lady Bison already had the game well under control, so Lauren took a nap.

Lauren was also really excited to see Joel, Kelly, and Jesse Odell. FUN FACT: They were our first visitors at the hospital to see Lauren. The Odell's were walking into our hospital room when Lauren made her first noises out of the womb. Of course they didn't get very far since our outstanding nurse bull rushed them and politely shoved them out into the hall. :) Good times.

Lauren and Jesse both did a great job behaving while we all went to eat at Doc's Grill. Then we all went and visited Harding's campus to see the impressive Christmas light display and for the Odell's to see the newly renovated Heritage Center (the building my office is located).

Week 12

Lauren had a great week 12. She also just had a doctor's appointment today that we will post about later. The first and third pictures are of Lauren being her normal sweet self. The second picture is of her being entertained by here uncle State.

Week 11

Amy was here for the beginning of Lauren's week 11. She was kind enough to act interested in seeing Steve's office at Harding and to even ask questions about my job. We all know she was only here to see Lauren. :)

As you can see, Lauren was happyAmy came to visit. And yes Lauren did leave something with Aunt Amy for her to remember Lauren, but due to this bloggers respect for Amy I will not post any further evidence of said mark....BUT IT WAS A GOOD ONE!

What do you do after hosting so many family and friends during your first 11 weeks of life? That's right - you cuddle up tightly with mommy and suck your thumb.

We love you Lauren!

Week 10

Todd was still here for the begining of Lauren's week 10, so another picture of the two was in order.















Aunt Amy made the long trip to visit Lauren and it was all everyone could have hoped for. Lauren loved spending time with Amy, as she has with her other aunt and uncles. Amy's visit was full of hugs and kisses by Lauren, but we are sure her experience of riding in a 4 wheel drive truck in Arkansas had to be her highlight of the visit. :)
