How Big Is John?

Morning Cartoons

In my hustle to get out the door this morning I asked Seth, who was watching cartoons with Daddy, to hold his brother for me. It was kind of a whim, and I didn't actually expect him to be willing to do it, which is why it surprised me when he said....Sure! And then there they sat, my 3 boys watching Clifford quietly so I could get my stuff loaded in the car for the day. Awww.....sweet. John is feeling much better now. The antibiotics have kicked in and he is wheezing and coughing less....thank God.

Poor John ....sad face

Poor John is sick today. I knew this morning when he wouldn't eat that something was wrong. He's had the sniffles for the last half of the week which was causing more coughing and weezing. Turns out he has an ear infection, and his lungs are irritated again. He's back on breathing treatments and now is also taking a steroid to reduce the inflamation and antibiotics for his ear. I've never seen him so pitiful. Poor baby.

And now for your viewing pleasure.....here's John eating spaghetti (yesterday when he was feeling good). I accidentally left a fork in the bowl after I cut it up for him. So he decided to give it a try. He did pretty darn good if I do say so myself. He has excellent motor skills. AND he made a joke the other day. He looked at me....took the binky out of his mouth, turned it around and then put it back into his mouth backwards. And then he GIGGLED. He was making a funny! Silly John!

Christmas Morning

Christmas Afternoon

So, wow it's been forever since I posted. It's crazy how life blurrs by you and next thing you know it's just a few days till Christmas. I still don't have my Christmas cards out, though they are addressed, filled and stamped. I keep wanting to put a Christmas letter in them but I'm always so tired at the end of the day. Anyhow, what I mean to say is....Hi there Blog friends. I haven't forgotten about you. Hopefully once the craziness of the holidays blows over I'll have some more time, and pictures to share with you. :-)

Weekend

Another relaxing weekend for the Robinson family. Saturday and Sunday we did some Christmas shopping, though it had to be planned just right. I attempted to go to the Mall on Saturday afternoon, which was an amazingly huge joke, as not a single parking space could be found and about 50 other cars circling the parking lot waiting to stalk the people coming out of the mall to their cars. I circled the mall once and then drove straight back home. Instead I got up early on Sunday and went while all the rest of GA was at church. I got a spot 2 rows out of the food court, shopped with my two boys when it was practically empty, got out of there by noon when everyone else was coming in, and made someone's day when I gladly surrendered my key parking space to them. Then we spent the rest of the weekend relaxing at home, watching movies, crocheting, playing outside, and napping. Saturday night I went to a Christmas party for my work. It was a fancy shmancy dinner at La Maison and a lot of fun to get all gussied up, as I don't find too many occasions where i get to do that lately. We had fun....I won a Shell gift card in a drawing and came home with a bottle of wine and $50 (gift from the boss). Sweet!
