February 07

Like you saw in our previous post, our good friends Pete and Nicola James came to stay. Pete is an avid boarder and Lucy took a liking to the idea too.



TOBY STARTED SMILING!!!


It's been a tough first 2 months as Toby had colic but it seems he's coming out of it now (please God). The fact that he started smiling was a little ray of sunshine in the madness.


If you're observant you'll have spotted the 'For Sale' sign next door to our house behind Lucy skateboarding. Our neighbours Chad and Heather are looking to sell - and so are we! After 2 very happy years in Anthem we believe the Lord's calling us to move to Glendale nearer the church. There's lots we'll miss, including our lovely neighbours (but hey, they tried to move first!) Here's their kids with ours...


Lizzy's loving the idea of moving and is prettying the house - she's very proud of her new pots in the back yard (all our plants were decimated by 2 nights of freezing temperatures at the start of the month so it's nice to have some colour again).





Serve Day


Once a year our church gets its hands dirty in the community through 'Serve Day' - over 2000 people helped out on projects from cleaning parks to building houses to feeding firemen and singing to the elderly. We picked citrus fruit, as it was something the kids could do safely too. It was lots of fun...



Our friend Daniel with a fruit picker; there's also Gareth, Charity, Lucy, Justus and his daughter Sadie in the photo.


Gareth and Eric working extremely hard.



Kandi and Missy (who looks amazingly like Lizzy!)

Daniel (with Sadie), Missy, Kandi, Eric, Jonny, Sarah, Gareth and Lizzy.


Kevin plays in my worship team. Kevin has a new truck. We like Kevin!



A photo we like of Daisy dressed up at Eric and Kandi's house doing a 'show' with Charity one Sunday afternoon.




We think this photo sums up Lucy pretty well.

Daisy and Lucy in their new jeans.


It was a pretty manic month - what better way to sooth ourselves into March than an afternoon at the Mallon's in the spa...


So here are the men, and the children... Anyone seen the ladies???



Aha.



Our 'very good friends' (they asked us to say that) Eric and Kandi with Sue. They were looking for themselves on our blog...!



The lovely Sue looking after Toby.



And finally, out of the vault from Christmas, Toby with his gorgeous God-parents Kandi and Eric Pfeiffer.

Lovely! Us Andrews in NZ think you Robinsons in the US are fantastic! We love the reading your blog and catching up! Our post photo fav this time is the one of Lucy, classic although the one of the scarves and hats is great too, does it ever get cold enough? AND the one of Tobly smiling, gorgeous, and gee what a collection of bibles!! We could go on and on! Lots and lots of love to you all, Dan and Ems.xx

Kandi said...

YOU DO LOVE US AFTER ALL!!! We can't believe we finally made it on The Robinsons Blog!! It is our claim to fame! And you, Robinsons... always beautiful, charming and absolutely adorable in every way!! You are an answer to many years of prayer... God knows. To your friends in England (and where ever else your friends might be) we thank you tremendously for your influence and loyalty in the lives of our sweet and dear Robinsons.
I know it sounds like an acceptance speech or love letter... I suppose it's both.
kandi :o)

James is having a grump because there you all are in the sunshine, in the spa, basically in paradise where as we are in the cold & rain in a house with leaky windows & birds in the roof! Goodbye x
P.S We love you all, your kids are gorgeous & we found some fab stuff called Colief which made colic days a billion times better (not sure you'll be able to get it there though!)

Liking the skater girl look Lucy! Baggie jeans are the way forward. What is it with second children and a tendency towards hippie-dom? Missing you all lots - can't wait til May!
