TheRobertsReport5: December 2010

Some people write a Brag Letter at the Holiday time..so I decided to chronicle our year also...Readers Digest version.

This sure has been a long year...are you sure it only had 365 days?...it has been a year full of memories!!
Dave and Sandi have left Colorado and moved back to Florida..am not sure if this was 2010..but they attended our Roberts Reunion this summer and both are so healthy and happy...I know that Sandi's parents and family are so happy also to have them home and helping.
We had our Roberts Reunion with all the "older Roberts" attending. It was such a fun time for us and Gene and I were so happy to be able to visit with everyone and see how their lives are doing. Sitting around talking was such a memory maker and so much like the many hours we spent together when we all were younger.
It was so good to see Deb and Rob. We talked and laughed and had a very good time talking about our children and grand-children. Having everyone back in the States is good for them.
Kit and Dale and the boys moved to Georgia...I am sure that Georgia welcomed this wonderful family.Kit had her kool snowfall experience...there was such excitement in her posts about it. They found a church home.Daniel was hospitalized and is doing well now. He continues in our prayers as he plans to re-enter college next fall.
I especially loved being invited to Joni and John's home for Thanksgiving. Their home resonants with love and laughter. Her children welcomed us and showed us a true family Thanksgiving.
John's words and prayer remain in my heart as he spoke of MeeMaw and Poppa (or what-ever each family called them)..and the wonderful times we had with them in the past. Joni's Blog was written about the visit and as always her words made us laugh and remember.
Then Joe and Mic moved Joe back to his home state of Alabama....a Lake House...how wonderful! We can not wait to see it and as Mic referred to it.."their last earthly home"..their joy in being together shines thru.I love reading about Jenni's busy life keeping up with her three children. I hear about Jon and his family and the children's activities. Of course, I love reading about Josh's church and it's ways of reaching out to the people of Rome. Of course his notes about Briggs and Julie surely warm my heart.
The Gene branch has been busy this year as well. Tim and Robyn have been busy. Hope is President of her senior class and Emma is home schooling as she prepares for her acting career.
They are two beautiful young ladies both inside and out.Tim travels alot with his job and Robyn always keeps such a wonderful spirit about it all.
Ann and Jonathan and the girls are as busy as ever. The twins are 14.. and Sam is 10...they volunteer and donate their time to many causes. Their church activities keep them busy also.
Gene continues to work..says he can never retire. My main job is girl and dog sitting...sometimes that is a full time job..(that I love).
I hope 2011 brings health, love, and laughter to you all. I hope that you all will join in on this blog. We all expressed a desire to keep in touch and this could be the way.
Love to you all...k.
