What month do you have the most Birthday's to celebrate?

Twins Birthday

We had a wonderful celebration for Dunsin and Tobi's 18th Birthday. They are two of the most willing, talented and polite young people you'll ever meet.

They asked their Pastor (Charles) to say a few words at their party, he misunderstood and preached:-)lol (love you honey) it was really good, just the first Birthday party I've been to where there was an invitation to the altar:-)
And then there is Savannah Suppan, what would we do without her. So helpful and willing to do what ever is needed to help our family and the church. Our girls adore her.

Saying Good Bye

Tuesday afternoon the phone rang, most of the time when our home phone rings we get a small feeling of anxiety in our tummies knowing that the only time it rings is when someone from America is calling, this can be a good thing and it also can be a bad thing. This afternoon the feeling was not good, as I picked the phone up to hear on the other end that my Uncle Roger was at the hospital in intensive care. Doctors giving him 12 hours to 2 weeks to live.

He has what you call Genetic Sensory Neuropothy Syndrome which is also what my Mother has, passed down from her Father. The Neuropothy is not what normally takes over and causes death it is what the Neuropathy attacks....is what causes death, such as in my Uncle's case. He threw up a few mornings ago and inhaled some into his lungs causing a severe lung infection, it didn't help that he had a terrible urinary tract infection which he had been trying fight off for a while now.

They took him into the hospital and in just one day they had him on 100 percent oxygen and told the family that the antibiotics were not helping, his fever would not go down and there was nothing more they could do. He has not been able to feed himself for a while so my Aunt has been spoon feeding him, while in intensive care they wanted to give him a feeding tube so that they could be sure he was getting the proper nutrients and fluids that his body needed to help fight off the infection but since the fever would not go down they could not do the feeding tube successfully.

He passed away on Wednesday at 12:30 p.m even though he has been sick for so long and we know he is in a better place it is still not easy saying good bye. My Aunt Karen is taking it the hardest, she has been his care taker for the past 10 years, she gave him a safe, healthy and peaceful environment to live in, she always went beyond what was expected of her. I wish I could be there to hold her and comfort her during this time of lost. It breaks my heart during these times to be so far way from my family but I know the Lord see's it all and will help each and everyone us through this time.

The funeral was held at the First Pentecostal Church in N. Little Rock Arkansas today at 10 a.m. Please pray for my family and especially for my Grandma, this was her first child to pass and I can't imagine the pain that must grip a Mothers heart when one of her children passes away, no matter how old they are.

Wordless Wednesday

Monday's

I love the day after Sunday, yes that would be Monday.....a few things to describe why I love Monday's.

1. Charles only Day Off
2. Our family Day
3. A start of a new week
4. The only day I get to sleep without setting my alarm clock
5. We have Josh, Savannah and Sis. Amber over for game night
6. Set the goals for the week
7. Weigh myself and of course cross my fingers that I've lost a pound and not gained
8. Our Errand and grocery day (the only day the frig looks full)
9. Charles puts Aleia to bed
10. Eat lunch at Ikea for 3 1/2 Euro...can't beat that

Monday's are my favorite...what is your favorite day of the week and why?

World Wind

Starting from Friday we begin our Revival services with Rev. Lee Stoneking, the expectation in the church was high and you could just feel that it was going to be life changing. From the start to the finish of each night the conference was everything and more that we could imagine.

Sunday Night after service we prepared a banquet for all the ministers and wives, we had 28 people in the board room and they all enjoyed a great time of food and fellowship. They offered us a beautiful flower vase as a token of thanks, love and appreciation.

We cleaned up as much as our bodies and FEET would allow, then headed to the airport to drop off the rental car that we needed for the weekend, it saved our lives to have two vehicles. It was about 1 a.m and we were finally on our way home, to tired to even talk the baby begin to scream, and scream....I couldn't find her paci so here is how the little conversation went...

Me: Oh baby I know, I know Mama will eat you when we get home, Mama will eat you when we get home.

Aleia: Starts to scream, No MAMA YOU CAN'T EAT SISTER she's our baby not Mcdonalds.

Me: What! Aleia, calm down honey, what are you saying?

Aleia: (Sniff-Sniff) You said you were gonna eat baby sister when we get home

Me: hahahahaha oh my word is that what I said:-) oh Aleia honey Mama would never eat you or sister, I met to say when we get home Mama would feed her.

So as you can see it's been a world wind around here, things have been pretty exciting and traumatic in the Robinette home in the past few days. My house smells like a mixture of dirty diapers, rotten bananas and flowers, a pretty nauseating smell if you can imagine.

We are thankful for all the Lord did in our special meetings and Thank each and every saint for putting in such long hours and so much hard work and effort. A great big thanks to our ministerial team Rev. and Sis. Bernhard Suppan and Family, Bro. and Sis. Obuh, and Sis. Amber, we could not have pulled the conference off without the this team.

Daddy's Home

Aleia was so excited about her pre-school she wanted to show her Daddy the whole school.

As precious as it looks I watched Aleia and her Daddy walking hand in hand and I couldn't help but get all teary eyed, hard to believe she will be 4 in just a few days, the first 2 years went fairly slow but this past year just flew by without me even noticing, I am sure it has to do with all the transitions and schedules that we have encountered during this last year....Moved to Austria, moved from an apartment to a house, had a baby, started a new church and the list goes on.

We are so happy to have the man in charge back home, it sure does set many things at ease when Daddy is home. Aleia is a Daddy's girl through and through and it is very unsettling to her when he is gone, her temperament completely changes the minute he is home. I love it that my girls have their Daddy wrapped....I wouldn't want it any other way:-)
