the way to my heart

i make fun of Adam sometimes for being the reason we have a bunch of junk food in our house

whenever he is in charge of grocery shopping or goes with me to the store, we always manage to walk out of there with 3 boxes of cookies, ice cream, chicken nuggets and Squeeze-Its

but secretly, i love when he goes grocery shopping and comes home to surprise me with these

my ultimate Achilles' heel

if you know me, you know these are pure gold in my book

Adam knows me so well.

they are and always will be the way to my heart

this little guy….

is sick.

we could hear him cough all through the night Friday. i could hardly sleep because i was so sad for him and his poor little body. his cough sounded horrible and painful. we decided to take him to the doctor first thing in the morning.  turns out he has croup.

i had gotten a small cold beginning Wednesday and Thursday and it started getting a little worse each day (to the point where now i have no voice and can only whisper). then Eli started to show signs but we didn’t realize it would turn into something so bad….

the doctor told us to keep an eye on his symptoms since croup could lead to RSV and it has been going around lately.

my poor baby

it has been a hard couple of days/nights

i apologize for my blog absence

i will post more soon

(including posts about our holidays since apparently 21 people really want to hear about it still :))

::: in the meantime, check out some new additions to the blog! i added an "Question & Answer" section under the “Ask Me” tab as well as the link to follow me on Twitter. i’m still a little new to the Twitter craze so let’s all be friends :) i will also be updating the Robinson Family Cookbook (and have added some new recipes if you haven’t seen them lately). and don’t forget the Stronger Marriage Blog!

we are headed for {even more} trouble

remember how I told you about Mr. E’s 911 call?

well it happened again!

and we finally figured out {why}

both times, I did have my phone locked

(I knew I was right!)

but if the keypad is locked and random numbers are pressed (like 08), this message pops up:

so what happened was, Mr. E pressed a bunch of keys and the phone thought there was an emergency but no time to unlock the keys

so it says, “Emergency Call?” and that’s when the little guy accidentally pressed yes

which then brings us to a dispatcher calling my phone asking if we needed an ambulance

I felt so terrible. but she assured be that it happens {quite often} around here. which must be why they call to double check when on the other end of the phone all they hear is baby babble

so there you have it. even a locked phone is still dangerous for a baby.

good one, Elijah!

you are going to be a lot of trouble some day…..
