Happy Birthday Abuelo

Julene and family sing Happy Birthday for el Abuelo, who currently resides in Veracruz, Mexico, where he is serving as the temple president.

Emily (Beautiful) is Three!

Although Emily does not turn 3 until Saturday, Tuesday night she chose to go to Chuck E Cheese's house to celebrate her birthday. This is ironic, since she is deathly afraid of that dumb giant mouse and cries and hides behind the nearest adult when she sees him. She was really cute though, asking if she was three now. We answered her with an enthusiastic "Yes!" Close enough, right? Nobody spill the beans.

She loved each gift and just wanted to stop and play with each of them after unwrapping them. That is a great age . . . except for the fact that our kids seem to get the terrible threes instead of the terrible twos. She is in an OCD phase now (Obsessive Compulsive Dora). I guess feeding her compulsion doesn't help though. All but 1 or 2 of her gifts was Dora themed.


Interesting technique for playing air hockey!

Right now she doesn't want to sit at the table to eat. We have a Dora kid's chair that we bought when Maygan was around this age. For the past couple of weeks she has insisted on sitting in that chair and using the regular kitchen chair as her table. FYI, drinks without lids don't fair too well on padded chairs.


She will answer to Emily still (usually), but if you ask her what her name is, she will introduce herself as Beautiful Osborn. Glad she has a good self esteem. She is pretty much potty trained now too. Woo Hoo! And, you should see the look she can give you, glaring over the top of her glasses. Happy Birthday Emily, we love you!

Let's Get it Started

Hello Osborn Clan . . .

Here is the introductory post for the Osborn extended family blog. First off, I will need all of the addresses of people you would like to be able to view and to edit this blog. It should be pretty easy to use, but I would be happy to give everyone a tutorial.
