The boys are gaining on us

Karissa had her ultrasound and guess what--It's another BOY. It had seemed like we had a good stretch of girls running on my mom's side of the family (The last boy born on the Goodburn side of the family was 25 years ago) and now it will grow by 3 boys within 6 or 8 weeks this winter. How exciting!!

Our Trip

Emily and I left Friday after school to take Grandma Marilyn to Auntie Net's. Lynnette is going to take her to the airport on Monday so she can fly back to Utah. We checked out Lynnette and Kevin's new house--It is very nice, had lunch with Lee on Saturday, did a little shopping and came home this morning. Emily was very good during the car ride. During the first half an hour, this morning, I didn't hear anything out of her, I had to keep looking back to make sure I didn't forget her.

We miss you Grandma Marilyn...can't wait until you come back in November--Don't forget Grandpa Steve.

First Day back to School

I had today off so I made Emily and Kyla (the neighbor girl) breakfast and gave them a ride to school. No tears by me this year....When Em got home I asked her how it went. She said that First Grade is the BEST! They have a rabbit in their classroom named Lola and a hamster or two are coming, but not there yet. I asked what she learned about today, she said responsibility....Oh yeah, she forgot to bring her papers home. I guess that subject is just getting started.

Busy Weekend

We had a very busy weekend. Lynnette and Sophia came on Friday--about noon and Karissa came later in the day. We spent Friday afternoon at Grandma and Grandpa's and went back to our house for pizza and to go through a bunch of baby clothes that Christie (Kyle's sister) had dropped off for us to borrow. Saturday mom and Grandma had a baby shower for Baby Robinson (Cindy-thanks for all you did too). We got a lot of nice stuff--Thank you everyone. Saturday night we had a family dinner with aunts and uncles and cousins and then back to grandma's for lunch today before Lynnette and Sophia ventured home.

It was a lot of fun to watch Emily and Sophia play together. Emily seemed to be a lot of help...I am sure she will be a lot of help for me when the baby comes.

Shopping

Yesterday Emily and I went to S C. We met Karissa and Grandma Marilyn (Grandma Marilyn is visiting for two whole weeks). Emily got some clothes and shoes for school and I also got a couple of things. The most impressive thing was Emily spending her own money on her baby brother (she got $10.00 for taking back pop cans and spent $6.00 on him). She bought him a stuffed monkey to go with his bedroom.

Cheap House Cleaner

Emily can be such a great cleaner when she wants to be. I asked her if she wanted to help me dust the house and I would pay her. She said yeah, all she wanted paid is a quarter and a penny. That's what I call cheap labor.

Baby Names

Emily and I went through a list of baby names today and she actually found one she likes-->Logan. Kyle didn't know if he likes it, but we said we will put it on a list. Another name we have thought of is Mason. Like Kyle said, we have 15 weeks to find something, so these are just the first round of names we are kicking around.....
We are open to suggestions.

Kyle vs Puke

So last night around 10:00 I was in bed, just about ready to fall asleep and I hear banging on the wall. Kyle was tring to get my attention because, Emily had evidently eaten way to much and had puked all over herself and half of the bathroom. I got up and Kyle was standing outside of the bathroom--the puke won. I took a look in the bathroom and then had to step out for a moment, grab a breath of fresh air and wake up just a little. Then did the mommy thing--stripped her down and into the shower, then rolled up her clothes in the rug. Rinsed everything off and put it into the washer. Handed the clean kid back off to her dad to be dressed and last-back to the bathroom to wipe everything down.

I mentioned to Kyle that he was lucky that I was past my puky stage otherwise he would have been in there cleaning up.....He said something about Karissa may have had to do it.

Verified

Something did happen with all Baby Robinson's moving around early Sunday morning. I have had quite a few people tell me I have grown in the past week.
