Hope and Great-Grandma

Today was a great day!!!!! Hope's whole Robinson family was together. It was Aunt Em's birthday so she drove up from Chicago to spend the day with Hope (and everyone else, but mainly Hope). Hope started her day by getting her bath and getting dressed up in a pretty little outfit. Then Hope got to go for ANOTHER car ride!!! Mommy & Daddy packed Hope, and her entourage of stuff, up and took a ride up the street to Great-Grandma's house. The whole Robinson family met there for some family pictures. It was a nice, but little chilly, day out. That didn't phase Hope, she loved all of it!!!

After the family pictures, Hope, and her entourage of stuff, went home. After some good snuggling time with Aunt Em on the couch, everyone sat around the dinner table for a family dinner. In fact this was Hope's FIRST family dinner with the whole Robinson family. Hope sat next to the table in her kid kart and took it all in. At some point she eventually got so bored that she started blowing bubbles, which we found very humorous.

Hope had a great day, and the entire family had a great day as well. It was so nice to have the family together, and for Hope to be at home. Things have been going so well for Hope. She seems to be relaxed a lot more during the day, but also more alert. We look forward to many more great days ahead!!!
