The Robinson's

Last June, we made our annual trip to Arkansas and Louisiana to see Christian's family. This last June, we were able to have a visit with the Robinson's. Christian's dad is Cecil, and we met Cecil and Barbara Robinson. This was the man that Cecil Lawrence was named after. Cecil Robinson was the brother to Cecil Lawrence's mother. I know...long story.

We had a great visit with them and the kids just adore Uncle Cecil. He played and joked with them. He rode the kids around their neighborhood on his golf cart. And, Aunt Barbara is a delightful woman. She made me feel so at home in her house. She just loved on Magan too.

We visited with them for a few hours and during our visit, Christian's Aunt Kathryn came over to see us. She is 92 years old and drove herself to their house. She is the sister to Cecil and Grandma Robinson.

This picture includes Cecil and Barbara Robinson.

This was such a sweet picture. Mallory and Mason just loved Uncle Cecil.

This is Aunt Kathryn. Can you believe she's 92? All she wanted to do was hold Magan. It was really sweet but she's a tough lady!

Random kid pictures..

As I update my blog, I've found these random pictures of the kids. I like to post them because you can really see how the kids have grown. And, typically, they aren't posed in any way. So you really get to see them as they are...wild!

Everyone wanted to pose with little sister on this day. The picture isn't too clear but its not bad.

Mallory must have really been tired! This was around the time that she fell and busted her chin.

Magan loved her play mat. She learned to roll over on this mat. She has really changed.

Sweet laugh!

Magan's First...

These are quick pictures I took of Magan's first "real" meal. Up until this feeding, she had only been eating bottles. She had some sweet potatoes and oatmeal. She didn't really like it. But we tried!

Skating with Friends

I'm catching up my blog, so you'll see lots of old posts about the kids and our events. We went skating last year (sometime) with our friends, the Moseleys. Mason and Mallory had only been skating one or two times before this trip. So Mallory was still unsure about her feet on wheels. Mason got out in the middle of the rink and I don't think he made it back to the side until we got ready to leave. This is my friend, Sandy, holding Magan while everyone else was skating.

Mason was playing a skating game called "Dead Bug". The music plays while the kids skate. Then the announcer stops the music and yells "Dead Bug!" The kids fall on the floor and play dead. Whichever kid is last to fall down is out! Its cute!

Mallory getting a trip around the rink from Daddy. She wanted Christian to skate but I need him to get a paycheck! He kept his tennis shoes on for traction!

Watch Mason go! He really got the hang of skating and loves to go.

Look at that beautiful girl in her roller-skates!

I found my photo card from last year. I had forgotten that I have two cards for my camera. I found some great pictures of the kids doing various things. I'll start posting so you can see how much they've changed. Starting with:

Papa Bob - He is married to Connie. They moved to Georgia in May 2010 to get away from the cold, Michigan weather. My kids think he hung the moon and we think he's pretty cool too. He likes to play with the kids and keeps them in line in the process.

Hello, again, Blog!

I'm surprised my blog is still available on the web. It has been so long. As I looked back over my posts from last year, my how my children have changed. I've got some time now, so I promised I'll be posting on a more regular basis.

Mom - Now you can get back to work on their scrapbooks!

Love.
