Zander

Josh and I headed to Jackson for the weekend b/c we became Aunt and Uncle to Alexander Edward Robinson. He was born on Thursday and Josh's sister Jenni and her husband Matt are officially welcomed into parenthood! He is the sweetest little man and Elle and Jay are proud of their little cousin. They are calling him "Zander"--short for Alexander

SICK Summer

This has been a sick summer and not SICK as in cool :) Jay has had 3 ear infections so far--1 in May and 2 in June and now he has high fever with red throat with pockets and sores in his little mouth. They called it a virus and sent us home to wait it out. YUCK. Now Elle had a really high fever one night that lasted for 8 days along with upset stomach. 2 weeks later and a some testing reveals Salmonella. Double Yuck! The treatment again was to wait it out and we did for 18 days! I am totally over all this sickness! Playing around the house on our many sick days \

After the trip to the Perdido Beach Resort we came back home and worked one day and picked up our Jaybird and headed back to the beach with Meredith, Gary, MC, and new baby Jackson for the 4th of July and to stay the rest of the week. We pretty much hung at the condo and the beach the whole time and it was perfect! Jay and sweet baby Jackson

Mexico

Josh and I took little get-away to Playa Del Carmen to a really nice all inclusive resort with some friends from college at MSU. It was hard b/c we all left babies at home but we got some much needed R&R. Thanks Pitty Pat for keeping the babies! Driving ATVs throught the jungle
