Life Is What You Make It

I am thoroughly enjoying these precious times with my beautiful children. The expressions "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" and "You don't know what you've got till it's gone" have taken on a new meaning for me! For example, I have not complained about the sandy beach towels lying on my laundry room floor or the constant stack of dishes in the sink. The girls have been very cooperative with one another and patient with Christopher as well. I am truly blessed and I am finding myself saying "thank you" under my breath more and more often. Life is Good =) Thank you Lord!! xoxoxo

Beach 7/7/10 at OneTrueMedia.com

Well, summer is in full swing and I have the pictures to prove it! It has been raining and cloudy for about five days or so. The sun today was much appreciated and we wasted NO time getting ourselves to the beach! Hope was at a friend's house today, but she (along with two friends) will be joining us tomorrow.

Britany comes on Saturday. When I asked her what she wants to do during her vacation, she answered with one word...BEACH!

So it is!

New Blog

Summer is in full swing! I am so happy to have Taylor and Hope home here with Christopher and I. Britany will be coming for three weeks on July 10th! Let the party begin!!

I have started a second blog as my own personal photo gallery. I will still be posting pictures here if they are relevant to my post, but the gallery is just for a large assortment of various photos. To keep things simple (for me mostly lol) I just named it RobinsTreasures2. I have the link over to the right under "Blogs I Read".

Between Facebook, the kids being here and the new blog, I may not be updating here as often, but check back often for news!

I want to wish everyone an AMAZING summer!

Robin&Christopher's Excellent Adventure!

Yesterday, Christopher and I enjoyed a beautiful day Downtown Disney. I decided we both could use a little Disney magic. It is great now that he is old enough to not only manage the trip fine, but to look forward to it. I am looking forward to more trips like this in the future, especially when the girls are here!!

Hmmmm...New Career????

Recently, I ordered some pictures from my local Walmart. The next day, I received a phone call from the manager of the Photo Department. He informed me that because some of my photos appeared to be professionally done, I would need to sign a release in order to purchase them.

When I arrived in the Photo Department, he went on further to say that he was "allowing" me to pick up my photos with a release "this" time, however, in the future if he was not there and I ordered them "the girls" would most likely REFUSE to print my photos!!!! WHAAAAAT??? "So," I said "in order to have my photos printed by Walmart, they need to be crappy?" He laughed nervously and went on and on about he was only protecting his job, etc., etc. He then suggested that I have some business cards printed up and leave one on file with them. I said "What are they supposed to say 'Mom who takes pictures'?"

At first I was peeved to say the least. Then I thought about it and wondered if this was perhaps a greater power at work here, forcing me into making a step toward some new path in my life. Hmmmmmm. I wonder....... I got 100 business cards a couple of days ago. =)
