Help!

So I have this corner in our family room where we have the kid table and I need ideas on how to liven this space up... Any ideas and thoughts are welcome!

Aubry is a busy "mom"

Aubry has lots of babies and as she was putting then to bed last night she told us that they were a "handful"... Well, evidently they wanted to sleep with her last night...

Practice

So - in an effort to be better at this will also try to do posts from my phone... We are loving our new boots!!!

Happy New Year

So - we had a busy 2011 and I am really hoping for a calm (relatively speaking) 2012 - no moves, no new babies, just living our fun lives! And keeping up with kiddos! So, I am going to try to be better about making posts to see if I can do this blogging thing... I get inspired about once a year, so we will see if it lasts longer this time... In an effort to start this our right here are some beautiful pictures that my new sister-in-law took of the kids on Thanksgiving.

Happy New 2012!!

We have moved!!

We have moved to Houston! We do not have a permanent home yet - but Aub & Reede are loving being at Noni & Papa's until Shayn can get down here and we can find a house. New job for mom - so far, so good! Also, a third little Robinson is on the way - he is expected to arrive at the beginning of August! So - as usual, lots going on in the Robinson family.

Thank Goodness for Good Friends!

Well, we were very disappointed yesterday when our new nanny decided she was not prepared to commit to working every day... SO - we are again looking for a nanny (any recommendations are welcome)! Thankfully our dear friend Lauren just moved to town and is still on her own job hunt - so she is helping us out in our bind until we find someone new! Thank you, Lauren!!!

Hopefully this is all just a part of God's plan to get the perfect person in place to care for our children - in the meantime, Aubry and Reede are LOVING Lauren!! When I told Aubry that Lauren would be there when she woke up from her nap - she replied "Yay!"

Preschool Applications

Living in NYC is crazy... and part of that crazy is the preschool application process... Since Aubry will be 3 next year, I had to try today to obtain some applications for her to enter a 3's program somewhere... This morning I called several schools and ended up with 5 applications. The first ringing I heard (as opposed to a busy signal) - I was in shock! Then I was so excited that a human answered and I got an application! I actually got applications to my two top choices! We are on the waitlist at one school for an application and the circuits were overloaded at 2 others that I like. I will be calling 3 other schools over the next month to see if they will allow us to apply. Crazy - right? You hear stories all the time, but now I will get to see first hand.

There is a good chance we will rearrange our list a hundred times before we finally make a decision - let's all pray that Miss Aubry shines and the admissions directors decide to take a chance on this "unconnected" family!!
