Hello everyone,

Here are the first pictures of our 7th grandchild! They are 85% sure that we have another little girl! J.A. sent an email with an update that all is well and she looks very healthy in every area!

It still amazes me that they can "see" into the womb and get pictures of this little one!

Do you think that might be a little smile there?!

I can't wait to see who she will look like! Only about 4 months left now!

Here are the rest of the pictures from Deuce's 7th birthday party.

The girls spent a lot of time playing with the tiny princesses from the cake.

Deuce shared her new headbands with her pretty sisters.

Mommy and Daddy let the girls sleep in their Cinderella tent for a birthday treat and they invited Zoo in for a visit!

Notice that even though he's sitting in a princess tent, he is wearing football jammies!

The girls love to pose for Grandma's camera!

Lot's of different poses, but always a smile!

That is, until it's time for the regular "funny face" pose! Lili is still cute!

Now that's a face I haven't seen before!

Even her funny face is cute!

A group hug for the last pose!

Having grandchildren really helps you stay young at heart! It makes all of the workouts worthwhile, so I can keep up with them! We will be seeing all of the grandchildren next weekend. J.A., T.L., T and Fenori will be going out to eat and a movie, probably, to celebrate J.A.'s 30th birthday. Grandpa and I will stay with the children until they get back and then we will all go to our hotel to swim. It should be a very fun, full weekend and we are looking forward to it! I should have many pictures to share then!

Have a great, blessed weekend!

Shalom,

Robin

Hello everyone,

It's been awhile again! I still don't have the pictures yet to share from Christmas with T.L. and family or from their trip to Florida. I DO have some new pictures, though! Deuce celebrated her 7th birthday last Friday and we made the trip on Saturday to celebrate with her again! We went to the Olive Garden and then back home for presents and cake. I have about half of the pictures today and the rest in a couple of days.



They gave us the "family table" because there were so many of us!

Zoo had fun sitting up to the "big people" table in his high chair!

Mommy gave him finger food to munch on and he was happy!

Fess was going for the olive in her salad!

Deuce thought it was great to sit at the head of the table!

Lili LOVED her mac and cheese, Olive Garden style!

Deuce was very happy with her BIG glass of chocolate milk!

Zoo could just reach the table and he loved it.

Deuce was very full, especially after the birthday cake presented by the singing waiters!

Deuce and Lili smiling for Grandma's camera!

Deuce and Fess sharing a sisterly hug!

All the princesses were on their way to the castle to celebrate Deuce's 7th birthday with a party!

Opening presents is alway a fun part! Here Deuce looks at her new jeans.

Lili patiently waiting to open her gift bag for the party.

Zoo and Grandpa by the new coat room that T and Fenori had built.

Deuce riding her new bike on the carpet. It's not a princess bike, but it IS Cinderella blue!

Fess playing with one of Zoo's new cars on the top of Grandma's head!

Deuce getting ready to blow out her candles!

It was a very fun, blessed day! I have more pictures from the rest of the evening that I will share later.

So how are you doing on all of your New Year's resolutions? I hope that you made getting to know the Lord Jesus more every day as one of your goals. Paul said in Phil. 3 that when we make it our determined purpose to really KNOW Him, then at the same time we come to understand the power that we have as believers. I challenge you all to make it YOUR determined purpose to get to know Jesus more every day. You will be so glad you did and so will everyone who knows you!

Have a very blessed rest of your week!

Shalom,

Robin

Hello everyone,

I have some pictures to share from the Detroit Red Wings/Minnesota Wild game on Tuesday, Feb. 5. The Red Wings won that game 3-2 in overtime.

Getting ready for the game at Kristine's house.

Posing with Charlie Brown dressed as a Wild goalie.

One of our older Wings, #33 Kris Draper, along with the oldest player in the NHL, #24 Chris Chelios. We like our young players, but these tough and gritty older players are very important, too.

One of my top 4 favorite players on the Wings, #11 Dan Cleary. He plays with a fire and a passion for the game that is obvious every time he takes to the ice.

We've always been able to learn a lot about the Word of God by watching sports. God has really blessed our interests, and us through them, over the years. We plan to return to New York this summer to catch the Yankees in the last year at the current Stadium. When you put Jesus as your #1 priority, He will use every area of your life to speak to you and to bless you. What are your interests? Is Jesus #1? If He is, start expecting His blessing through your interests. If not, then make that all-important adjustment. It only takes a second to change your mind to agree with God! If you've never made Jesus your Lord and personal Savior, then you have never really lived yet!

Have a great rest of your week!

Shalom,

Robin
