A Hair Helmet, A Senior Pose & Meet the Robinson Family

Now that my excitement of Design*Sponge has died down (just a hair) I guess I will focus on other topics for the blog. But honestly, I am still on a high. Natural Home magazine contacted me after seeing the chair on D*S and they are putting it in their May/June issue - that's right. So when it comes out I will rush to my local Barnes & Noble and buy all of them right up just like they do in the movies!

OK, I don't think anyone is going to send me embarrassing photos. I went through our archives and found these of Matt and Michelle, sorry guys! And don't worry, I have more to share later. I want to thank Grandpa and Gramma for taking photographs of their family as it grew and sharing them. Check out the sah-weet hairdos, what a sign of the times...

Somebody loved da Bears - nice hair helmet by the way

Ha ha ha ha ha - Matt's "do" here really makes me laugh

Could these jeans be any tighter - I think not

Here is Matt posing in front of his new car, at the same time being too cool for school

Michelle's senior photo

Michelle stabs Matt, she's an amazing shot (and notice Michelle's boots, these are back in style this year - I see them in magazines all the time)

Michelle as a geisha

When does the fun start? Like, now - totally rad!
(how much gel do you think Matt used to slick down the sides of his hair - I say one tube per side)

Alrighty, now on to Lottie Sue. We had lunch on Saturday with Gramma and Grandpa, and as you can see LS is quite grabby. Anything she sees within reach she's all "gimme gimme gimme."

Grandpa, gimme those glasses - they look delicious

They ARE delicious

Lottie Sue playing throughout the weekend...

Why hello everyone - what a lovely day

Let me see what I can dig out of here for you, a circle or star - what'll it be?

This towel is just great

Out of all her toys, the towel was #1

And of course we played Rock Band this weekend, Carrie and Kevin were newbies but picked it up like pros...

This could be on their Christmas card photo for 2008

Rocking out

Carrie and Lottie Sue get along splendidly

The guys rock and roll while Carrie dotes on LS

And I also have these WONDERFUL photographs from Matt's mom and dad. I am not sure of the members in each of these but I will update them if I can remember to ask...I know these are the Robinson family, Matt's maternal side.

I love this one, what a great photograph

I know this one is a Robinson family photo, not sure of the year

And this is a great photo of Matt's great grandparents, do
you see the resemblance with Matt here - I sure do

And I'll end it with another Giant Picture, this is Mike at the Sunsphere...

OK, I hope you enjoyed those. Matt has been ill with the flu so he's been sequestered for a few days. I follow him around with a can of Lysol and it just occurred to me now that I should make him wear gloves and a mask....hmm. But anywho, he is feeling better so that's good news.

Lottie Sue's 2nd tooth broke last night, it's barely out but adorable already. She spends her day playing, napping and eating - it's a nice life she leads. She really loves to play with her toys now, and she loves to stand up and hold on to things. She gets a look on her face like she's proud that she can do it, or at least that's what I read into it. And to hear her laugh, it's just the neatest thing - we love to hear it. Lottie Sue is also a very observant baby, she looks at everything and nothing much gets by her. She still thinks that sneezing is so much fun, and she loves to yank kitty kat tails. She really is a such a sweet kid and she's such a joy. LS is also HEAVY, it's literally breaking my back. I had lunch with Jo on Friday and I could honestly carry Birdie around on my little pinkie. Lottie Sue and Birdie liked being around each other, and I have photos that I will put up later.

And let me link to this story - our Vols are ranked #2 in basketball and play #1 here in a few days. It is VERY exciting. Matt has a man-crush on Coach Pearl, he is his biggest fan. Seriously.

Until next time...
