Super Weekend!

This past weekend was a super weekend, not because of the Superbowl. Because Alex, Eli and Esther came to visit. Lexington was still recovering from the ice storm of last week. Many households were waiting for the electricity to come back on. Fortunately, we had electricity and we had a warm, cozy time together.

We went to the mall Friday evening. Saturday morning Esther and Charlotte made Alex friendly bread. In the afternoon we watched Wall-E. Later in the evening, it was bath time. Sunday morning we went to church and after lunch, it was time for them to go home. Of course, Alex and Eli had to show their true colors and wear their Steeler's jerseys. It was a super weekend.

We had a great trip this Christmas. Charlotte and I traveled with our parents to visit Joel, Lisa and Micah in California. The highlight was watching Micah walk and climb on everything. I had difficulty filming Micah, because every time I got out the camera, he wanted to come over and see what I was doing.

Here is a picture of us at the Golden Gate Bridge.

4 Generations of Robinson males

From left to right, Joel, Jerry, Micah and Ralph. 4 generations of Robinson men in one picture. When I was about 2 -3 years old, my father's Grand Dad came to visit us on our farm in St Joe. With Grand Dad, my Grandpa, Ralph and me, we had 4 generations of Robinson males present in one place. This picture is the first time 4 generations of Robinson males have been together since 55 years ago in St Joe.

Here is another clip. It maybe a little Keystone Cop-ish, but I like it.

Okay, I admit it has been a long time since our last post.

The big event in the past 3 months is Charlotte went to Santa Clara to spend 2 weeks with Micah and his parents. She and Joel recorded some video of Micah and Grandpa is just now getting to editing the video and preparing it for DVD. Below is an example.

Charlotte and I had an amazing time this Christmas season. As I memtioned earlier, we went to see Micah, Lisa and Joel. Then we visited with Alex and his parents. I had decided that Alex needed to be introduced to UK basketball. Therefore, he received from Santa Claus a UK basketball. He took to it immediately.

Esther had gotten a Tiny Tikes basketball hoop for Alex earlier. It was sitting in the corner of the family room and Alex had not played with it yet. Now that he had a UK basketball, the hoop and Alex were ready for action.
