Hello everyone,

I spent part of the day yesterday with Fenori and the grandchildren. That's always a very fun time! Fenori took Deuce and Lili to a Children's Museum for a field trip for school. They had a very good time. They were able to meet T for lunch and the girls were thrilled to see Daddy at lunch time! Then they went to the library and shopping. They had a very good time together. I was able to spend time with Fess and Zoo while they were gone. We played some of the games that Fess is too young to play with her sisters. We didn't follow the rules, she just played and it was very fun! Grandpa made Fess a mini pizza for her lunch and she loved it! Then it was naps and reading for Grandma. Zoo woke up just before the girls got back home and they played with little cars until Fess woke up. Fenori and the girls had picked out a special Cinderella doll for Fess because she had to stay home this time. It is her first princess doll that is all her own! As you can tell by the pictures, she loves it!


Here is Zoo surrounded by little cars trying to decide what to do next!

Deuce decided to play cars with her brother for awhile.

He would prefer to eat the cars, which makes Deuce smile!

Lili hugging her brother for my camera.

Lili wanted a picture of their princess cars!

Here is Fess opening her new Cinderella doll.

Her doll came with a matching ring for her. Isn't she pretty!

Here is Fess with her new doll!

It was fun to see everyone again and even more fun knowing that they had such a good time on their field trip! Next up is a trip to T and J.A.'s for Bug's 5th birthday. Grandpa and I will be spending the day with her doing special things. Then T and Fenori are taking their family to spend the weekend and have a pool party for Bug's birthday. There are getting to be a lot of birthdays in this family now! I consider myself abundantly blessed!

Have a great weekend!

Shalom,

Robin

Hello everyone,

I don't have any new pictures to share today, but I do want to share some valuable info with you. Since 7/1/07 every family in our church has been going through Dr. Robert DeMaria's devotional book "Dr. Bob's Guide to Optimal Health". It has been an invaluable tool for developing a healthier lifestyle. We have seen great improvement in energy, weight control, and overall good health for those who have been following the advice given by Dr. Bob. I also purchased the book "Drugless Guide to Balancing Female Hormones" and have found it to be another valuable resource. I have included pictures of the two books mentioned. These books and some of the products that Dr. Bob suggests using can be ordered from his website. Clicking on the banner below will take you to his website if you are interested. The site also has recipes for some of the foods he suggests and other health tips.







I'm sharing this with you for two reasons. One is that since this has been such a blessing to me, I want to share the info with everyone. The second is that I have become an affiliate of Drugless Healthcare Solutions. So if you decide to order from Dr. Bob's website, if you will get there by clicking through the banner above or at the right of this blog, then I will be credited for the sale. If you have any questions for me, please contact me at the email link found at the right.

We've found that what we eat has EVERYTHING to do with our health and well being. God wants us well and we have a part to play, both in the natural, physical realm (our bodies) and in the supernatural, spiritual realm (by the Word of God). Please be well! Someone is depending on you!

Have a great weekend!

Shalom,

Robin

Hello everyone,

I have just a couple of new pictures to share. The first two are new ultra sound pictures of our new granddaughter. J.A. says she is growing great! She also said she was a little camera shy here!


She looks like she's playing hide and seek. Her cousins will love that, it's one of their favorite games to play!

Just look at those perfect little fingers! I'm always amazed by the new 3D ultra sound pictures. There is NO DOUBT that this is a baby in there. I can't wait to see her in person!

I stayed with Lili, Fess and Zoo while Fenori took Deuce shopping and to the library. The two little ones were napping for most of the time, but Lili and I had fun! We took a few pictures before I left and Fess even woke up in time to make it into some. Here they are:


Lili missed her sister while she was gone!
They just HAVE to have at least one silly face picture!

They were pretending to be asleep. Now doesn't that look comfy!

It's always fun to spend time with the girls and Zoo. We get to see Bug and Bean in two weeks when we go to celebrate Bug's 5th birthday. We can't wait to see them again!

I hope you are all enjoying your families and taking the time to really appreciate all that God has blessed you with. He is such a good God! He loved us so much that He even gave His Son to pay the price for our sin. I couldn't imagine giving up my children or grandchildren for anyone! Sorry, not even for YOU! But I'm so glad that HE could and did! If you have never taken advantage of the free gift of salvation that God the Father sent God the Son to provide for us, please take the time to find out more about it now. Just click on The Spoken Word Church site link to the right of this blog and find out what you have been missing.

If you have already received Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour, then please make sure you are telling everyone you know about Him, while they still have time to believe and receive! And when you celebrate Easter this year, remember that this once a year celebration is really a secular holiday. Real believers in Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, the Anointed One, celebrate His resurrection from the dead each and every day! Rejoice! He IS risen!

Shalom,

Robin

Hello everyone,

Here are the rest of the pictures from the birthday weekend. T had to take the Sunday service at their church. While they were there we had J.A., Bean and Bug come for a swim. J.A. was helping the girls with their swimming. We were able to get some adorable pictures and here they are:



Bug with swim goggles takes to the water right away!

Here she is getting ready to go in with the small goggles.

The girls shared the one pair of goggles with a nose piece because their own goggles were in T and Fenori's van. Here J.A. is helping Bug put the small goggles on.

Bug getting a ride from Mommy!

Bean peaking at Grandma over the side of the pool.

Goggle time again! Bug still riding on Mommy's back!

Bug thinks this is easier than swimming!

Now both girls want a ride, and J.A. is already carrying a new little one inside!

It's Bug's turn to peak at me over the side of the pool!

This is Bean swimming under water!

Bug, in goggles, in the hot tub.

Bean, in her goggles, in the hot tub.

Very cute accessory for the fishy suit, don't you think!

Bean trying to sit down on the bottom of the pool. She needs a heavier bottom for that!

Bug bringing Mommy a foamy present.

Bean with foam on her chin.

My two smiling princesses having fun in the hot tub!

We had a wonderful weekend with everyone. We had fun playing games, eating cake, swimming and just spending time together. Next is Bug's birthday on March 31. She'll be 5, so we'll have to do something special for that!

I hope you're all having a great 2008 so far! Remember to keep your priorities right, stay in the Word, walk in love and enjoy your family and friends. Make the most of all that the Lord has blessed you with and you're sure to be a real blessing to everyone in YOUR life!

Shalom,

Robin

Hello everyone,

J.A. celebrated her 30th birthday on the 26th of February and we celebrated with them on Saturday! We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express and they brought the girls over to swim. I have some pictures to share here and more in a couple of days:


Bean and Deuce worked on a princess puzzle together.

They each picked a princess to work on and helped each other, too.

They had a lot of fun together this weekend.

Fess loves to color with the big girls!

Bug was coloring horses in the horse color book.

She loved spending time with her cousins, too!

Deuce, Bean and Lili in the pool!

Deuce was giving her eyes a break from the goggles.

Fess rode in her little frog floaty.

Lili trying for a perfect fit with the goggles she shared with her sister!

T still giving Bean a lift while T.L. watches.

Zoo and Mommy took it all in from the side of the pool.

J.A. "making her wish" before blowing out all 30 candles!

We had a great time this weekend. T.L., J.A., T and Fenori went out for lunch and shopping while Grandpa and I played with the grandchildren. We played games, colored, put puzzles together and just had fun while the two youngest took their naps. Then it was pool time, followed by cake time and present time. J.A. wanted some special things for the baby due in June and it was fun to see her open them. I will post more of the pictures later.

Have a great week!

Shalom,

Robin
