Gettin' in the Swing of Things...

I haven't blogged in a while, and for good reasons! One week ago today, our 3rd baby boy was born! Barrett Avery Robinson was born at 12:35am on September 17. He weighed 8lbs 15 oz and was 20 inches long. We are already so in love with him, he is a little angel! Now we are working on getting into the "newborn" routine once again and it does take some time. Dylan and Maddox are crazy in love with our new little guy and are great helpers.

1st doctor's visit @ 5 days old.
All snuggly in pj's, getting ready for bed. Best big brothers around!

Maddox had to get a turn!

P.S. I realized that I had not posted any pics of my poor middle child starting K-3! Such a bad mommy! ;) Anyway, Maddox is doing great, his teacher sent a note home yesterday saying that he is doing very well and learning to follow directions. He loves going so that makes Mommy happy. Here is a pic of his 1st day.

A Happy Loss?

Most of the time when you lose something, it's not an exciting thing. But in this case, Dylan lost his first tooth, and talk about an exciting day!!! Oh my goodness, he was thrilled. He kept saying, "this is totally, totally AWESOME!!" He lost it at school and his sweet teacher made the day even more special. She gave him a certificate, cool sticker and placed his tooth in a really cute tooth holder. Here is a few pics of our special day. ;)

Just one more milestone, reminding me that my little Dylan is growing up...and quick!

Ready or Not.....

Here he comes, Kindergarten!!!

Today, was Dylan's 1st day of Kindergarten and he was ready! He jumped right of bed with an "oh yeah!" and was off and running! Excited about everything from his uniform, new shoes, lunch box and taking pictures.

He had a few ideas of his own for some really "cool" poses...not a nervous bone in his body!

He walked right in, giving high fives and straight to his class room. I just know he is going to have a great year! I am very happy with our decision to put him at our church school, Atlanta West Christian Academy.

I'm so thankful we had such a great 1st day of Kindergarten - without any tears from him or mommy! I hope he has the best time ever!!! So proud of my big boy, Dylan!

Rain, Rain You can stay...but just for today!

Don't you just love an afternoon rain storm, when you're just hanging out at home with nothing to do? No thunder or lightening, just a hard rain, then the sun pops right back out again. Well, that's what we had this afternoon. Dylan and Maddox ran right out in the pouring rain (in their pajamas) and had a blast playing in the rain.

It's the simple things in life that will make us the happiest! :)

Hope your enjoying a relaxing weekend with family and friends.

He's still the one...

Today I have been married to Russell for 11 years...And he's still the one I love! :) Last night we celebrated by going to eat at Veni Vidi Vici's in Atlanta. It was very good!

They served us this wonderful cheesecake with "Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate!

Then, we ended the evening going to the Fabulous Fox Theatre to see the Phantom of the Opera. It was awesome and we both had a great time!

Happy Anniversary, Russell, I love you more every day!

Voted "Best Daddy" 5 years in a row!

Yesterday was Father's Day and we had a great time surprising Russell with gifts showing our appreciation and love for him. I feel very blessed to have an awesome father myself, but then, also, I married a wonderful husband, who is an unbelievable daddy to our boys. He is very loved by his family and voted best daddy ever!!! :)
