personal chef

Saturday...

JR finally trusted Robin to drive.
He let him earn his keep.

And also us.

We were celebrating the Chinese New Year by making Robin make lots of Chinese food for us!
We helped. We pealed, chopped, and tried to remember everything Robin was doing so we could make it ourselves.
It was so fun watching Robin work.
And it was so fun having friends and family there to share it all with.
My life is filled with such sweet people.

American KFC = more chicken than China

Adventure day with Robin # 2.

He made me an egg in his long johns.

We went to Jett's gym and played.
Robin made a friend.
The kid was obsessed with him. His name was Tanner, he's 4.

We ate at KFC so Robin could compare chicken wings.

We made a trip to Wal-Mart.

Kylie came to visit!!!

Robin started a coin collection....

And we played lots of foosball!

Tomorrow we are going to BWW so Robin can experience all the wings he can handle.

kisses.

reunited and it feels so gooood

Late last night we drove to the city and awaited our lost friend.
Cathy, Kori, and Bailey were also there but for some reason I don't have that group pic. Just imagine their excitement!

After what seemed like an extra long drive back to S-town we got some sleep (Robin slept for 2 hours) and then woke up and went exploring.

First stop. Work.
Robin gave my dad one of his famous massages.

He took notes on the people he met.

And learned the ropes.

Then he converted to a true Cowboy fan.

We went and ran some errands next. The pharmacy and the bank. But of course we did the drive thru.
Robin then said "American's are so lazy!" Yes Robin. We are.

I also have to remind him to wear his seatbelt, his response to the seatbelt "I thought they were just for decoration"

Also stop signs and red lights make him laugh. If anyone has been to China or heard about the driving there then you will understand his comment when he said "It is more efficient the way we drive"

Next stop the Asian Market.

And then we took Robin to Quizno's for a beverage.
He went Mt. Dew. He calls it "green bubbles".
And he had his first bite of a turkey sandwich.

He entertained himself on the iPad until lunch.

Lunch was at Eskimo Joe's even though their food sucks. We knew we had to take him there while he was in Stillwater so we might as well get it over with.

He cut his chicken sandwich up and then it ate it with his fork and knife as chopsticks.

Awesome.

We hit up happy hour and then went home because Rob was sleeps.

But we didn't let him sleep. We played Kinect.

And air hockey.

And foosball.

And then we waited for dinner.

For dinner Robin put his salad in his spaghetti and mixed it all up.

He is hilarious.

kisses.

"this is what Christians do"- my mom

There is someone else that deserves a big shout out in Operation: Save Robin.
Ms. Renee Caskey.

She really is a hero. She taught him what taco soup is, how to reboot the internet if it turned off, and the Southwest Airline's boarding system.

I'm also pretty sure she learned a facial exercises from him.
Thank you Renee for letting a complete stranger sleep on your couch and hang out at your home while no one was there. Thank you for showing him the Love of Jesus Christ.

I know he has been taken care of.

kisses.

(Renee, I creeped on your facebook. sorry...)

HERO OF THE DAY!

This girl!

After HOURS and HOURS on the phone with airlines and airport people who could go find Robin for us we finally tracked him down and was able to get him on a flight to Dallas. His layover was in Chicago... of all places during this bad weather... we knew we HAD to get him out of there or we didn't know when we would see him.
Luckily Megan and Robin had already partied together in China and were well acquainted.
And not to mention she has a pretty big heart so she didn't even think twice about it.
So Robin is chillin' at her house while she is at work. To be a fly on that wall....
Now... we just have to get him to Oklahoma City in this blizzard....

He might be partying with Megan for a while.

Thank you Kiner for your heart, your friendship, and your love for serving those in need.

kisses.
