Rough day on the courts

Both of the boys had basketball games today, and they were pretty rough. Keion played first and his team lost in overtime by a few points. They had the talent to beat the other team, but they just couldn't execute on offense consistently. It seems that his team has been on the wrong side of many closely contested games this season.

Kendrick played second and his team who had played exceptionally well in winning their first 2 games got blown away. They did not score until well into the 3rd quarter. Keith, who is the team coach, felt like the loss might be good for the team as it showed him some things they need to work on and build upon. He was also impressed with how the kids didn't give up even though they were down by a considerable amount.

We are hoping for better luck and results this upcoming week. We will keep you posted.

Our house is divided over who we are rooting for in the Superbowl. As avid Cowboys' fans we don't want the Steelers to get more SuperBowl wins than the Cowboys. However, we like the coach and a lot of the players on the Steelers. Hopefully it will be a good game tomorrow and not a blowout either way.

Back to School

As everyone was getting ready for their day this morning, it dawned on me that this was the first day the boys have had school all week. They had a teacher workday Monday, 2 snow days Tues and Wed, and then the one hour delay today. Boy have they had it made. They won't know what to do if they actually have to go to school everyday next week. ~ Darilyn

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the meterologists got it right this time. We finally got some beautiful snow. Keith was scheduled to work from home today, the boys were out of school, and Darilyn decided after going out at 7:30 am and seeing how crazy people were driving that seeing patients would not be in the plans for the day. Kendrick especially had fun. He learned how to make a tight snowball. Keion helped Keith with shoveling the driveway and sidewalk. Darilyn only could stand a few minutes outside before her fingers were frozen (poor circulation). We are guessing we have about 2 inches on the ground as of 12:15 pm and it is still snowing at a pretty good rate.

The boys update

The boys wanted to update everyone on their activities. Keion is a lead role as the "Giant" in the Thornburg play "Climb High Jack". He is playing basketball again this season with Parks and Rec and continues to work on his skills. He is playing cello for his middle school orchestra and they will begin touring the local elementary schools.

Kendrick scored a basket during his basketball game yesterday and played excellent defense grabbing many loose balls and creating turnovers. He is working on his ballhandling and dribbling with his left hand. He will be performing in a school play in Feb. about the Chinese New Year.

It's a new year and a new thing for the Robinson family. We have created a blog. We hope this will let us share with you all the exciting things going on in our family.
