Lee & Heather Robinson: January 2011

Happy new year!

After forgetting Annabelle's clothes, except the clothes on her back, we had a very merry Christmas in Georgia! Every cute smocked Christmas dress, every pair of pajamas, everything! I packed it a few days before we left and put it in her closet so she wouldn't unpack it and strow it all over the house, and in the chaos of packing and loading a family of 4, it got left. Good thing I have several friends in Thomasville with little girls around Annabelle's age! We were able to borrow some clothes and made do. We also lost a Croc along the trip, but besides that we had a great time! I still think the Croc is going to turn up after all the snow melts - I think it fell out of the van before we left the house. C'est la vie!

The perfectly packed, forgotten bag. :-(

Annabelle had a great time running around outside in the gorgeous, warm weather! She is not a snow bunny! We had fun sharing Ruby with everybody. Now we're back in New York and getting settled into a new semester. The weather has been brutal - several big snowstorms and lots of cold weather. We're hoping it's going to be a short winter and we can get outside soon! It's hard to believe that Ruby is 7 months old already and Annabelle is really starting to look like a big girl. She is so sweet and loves to snuggle with mama! Ruby is a very social baby - she will play on the floor with some toys, but she wants to be able to see you and make sure you're watching her! She is all smiles all the time and is so much fun. Here's some pics:

Annabelle reading - she is so cute now because she makes up the story as she goes along.
