Month Recap

So it's been a month since my last post. Oops! It's been a very busy spring so far and I'm not doing a good job of keeping up! 

Apologies in advance if this gets to be too long. 

We celebrate Collier turning 3 with a fun party at our church's gym (Peachtree Presbyterian) playing all kinds of games and gymnastics. Emma thought she was a big kid and had an absolute ball! It was so much fun watching the kids have such a great time. 

We officially announced that we are expecting another little girl in September. Name TBD. We are so excited but also nervous as well as life with two will be very different. 

We then celebrated both my parents birthdays with Mexican for dinner. Dinner out with two toddlers isn't very calm these days :)

We had a wonderful Easter with both our families. We enjoyed our church's egg hunt at Chastain Park to kick off the weekend. We had my family over for dinner the night before Easter to get some more time in with my brother who was in town. We then did church and brunch at my parents followed by an early dinner at Tommy's parents. It was a family-filled weekend. 

Two days later Emma and I headed to the beach (my first solo drive with me and Emma) to meet my mom and nana for the week since it was my spring break. We had a much needed relaxing trip. The weather had it's moments but we enjoyed the slow for sure. 

We spent one Saturday morning at the Dogwood festival in Piedmont park. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the family time. 

Later that day we had a baby shower for one of Tommy's fraternity brothers and his wife. 

This past weekend we had Drew Stelling's 30th birthday party which was so much fun. Emma spent the afternoon/night with Coco and Tpop (Tommy's parents) and we enjoyed a kid-free time with friends. Caroline and Drew set up a mini-golf course in their backyard and the boys had to use the plastic childrens clubs to play. Everyone was encouraged to wear tacky golf attire. It was a gorgeous day outside and we had a such fun seeing friends! It was hilarious! 

Sunday morning Emma had her buddy Finn's 2nd birthday party (they are two weeks to the minute apart. They were  both born on Tuesday at 2:50pm. So crazy). The weather held off until after the party which was great. It was a cool park I'd never been to before. Emma had a great time! Can't believe how soon it is until her 2nd birthday. My how time flies. 

That about covers the past month for the Robinsons. Work has been filled with TESTING. Today is our last day of standardized testing and then the rest of the school year is on a downward slope. Counting down until Summer. 22 days of school left and 25 days of work left for me (We have one regular post planning day and then two makeup days from all the snow after Memorial Day unfortunately). BRING ON SUMMER BREAK! 

Life Lately

Warning this is gonna be a photo dump but just want to get caught up on January thus far. Can't believe we are in the last week of January already. I thought December went by quickly but I think January has gone faster. 

January started out with a New Years celebration with the Reynolds Family and the Hartmans at our house. We made prime rib and ended the night with a fire out back. 

On January 1st was the ROSE BOWL! I think it's the best football game I've ever watched. It was just awesome! We went to my friend Carly's new apartment complex to watch. We brought a bunch of apps and had a great evening! Thanks to Coco and Tpop for babysitting so I could actually watch the game. Now it was time to gear up for the National Championship the next week! 

I had a bunch of friends come into town for the National Championship so we took full advantage of the festivities in Atlanta. We went to Fan Fare on Sunday afternoon downtown which was a great time. So cool to be in the championship in Atlanta. 

Then on Monday (day of the game) school was canceled due to "weather". So I was able to head to meet friends earlier than anticipated. We met at Alex's house before heading to Sidebar in Downtown before the Tabernacle opened. I didn't have a ticket to the game (along with a lot of my friends because $$$$$) so we watched the game at the Tabernacle. DawgDays rented out the place for a UGA watch party. It was such a throwback because I ran into so many people I hadn't seen since college. We had a great time (minus the tv glitching at some very important moments grrrr). Anyway besides the end result it was such a fun day!

That next weekend was MLK weekend and we headed to Cape San Blas, Florida, with all the Maxey crew and Tommy's parents to celebrate Tommy, Tyler and Andrew turning 30 this month. We rented a big house and all stayed there for three nights right on the beach. It was chilly but we enjoyed the down time together. Christy and Andrew live in West Palm and Tyler and Lindsay live in Destin so we never get a lot of down time to just hang with them. Usually when they are in town it's for an event or holiday so it's usually a rushed visit between their time with family. We played games, ate lots of great food, and just enjoyed each other's company. It was a great weekend!

We came home a bit tired (Emma was up in the middle of the night every night there. Girl likes her own crib and room) and went back to work on Tuesday. Well that was it for work that week. We got snow/ice Tuesday night and school was canceled Wednesday-Friday. What a weird week! Emma needed the time home because yet again she was a bit under the weather and needed some mommy r and r. 

We enjoyed the down time. It was too cold to really spend any time outside those days! 

Lastly this past weekend I surprised Tommy with a 30th birthday celebration at Sweetwater Brewery with a bunch of his friends and family. He was totally surprised and we had a great time! After the brewery some of us went to eat at Grindhouse after. It was nice to get everyone together to celebrate Tommy. (He claims he never gets a birthday since we share the same birthday)

Sunday was just gorgeous! We started with brunch at the Robinsons with Beth/Marsha in town. Then I played tennis that afternoon. I played a 3 set match and it was nice to get out and play especially on a gorgeous day after being in the house for so many days prior. More to come later this week with birthday celebrations for me and Tommy.
