Avery's Arrival

When we checked in at Wanee Lake, we asked them if we could just pay nightly because our daughter was expecting and could be having her baby any day.  They said that was fine and so every day when I would go pay for the night they would ask:  "Do you have a new grandbaby yet?" 

Then, we got a call from Grant early Saturday morning, October 13th, saying Crystal had gone into labor.  We drove the 3 hour drive up to Atlanta and got there an hour or so before she had the baby.  And after a very short while, we were introduced to Avery Ellen Robinson:

 

 

Crystal did great and Avery was a healthy little girl.  Later that afternoon, we drove back to Wanee Lake and told them we would be leaving the next day because we had a new grandbaby!  They all congratulated us and were asking how everyone was doing.

On Sunday, we drove to Stone Mountain and checked in a day early to our monthly site:  #357.  The monthly sites are some of the worst as far as not being level and a lot of tree cover.  But we were glad to get the monthly rate of $720 (or $23.22 per night) rather than their normal $50-$60 per night rate. 

We visited Avery, Crystal and Grant at the hospital again and then helped them get back home.

Avery was also introduced to Bo.

 

And then they laid her down for a nap (kind of hard to find her in that big baby bed).

 

 

We stayed at Stone Mountain for a little over a month helping out Crystal and Grant where and when we could and holding Avery as much as we could.  It was amazing how fast she grew over that month. 

We drove up to Nashville and brought my mom (Norma Suiter) down for a weekend so she could see her newest great-granddaughter. 

 

We also got some good pictures of the new Robinson family this weekend too.

 

And of course, her Pa and MiMa didn't miss a chance to hold Miss Avery.

Because we were there over Halloween, we got to be with both Isabella and Avery and see their cute Halloween decorations.  Isabella was a butterfly:

Avery dressed up as a 2 1/2 week old infant.

I think Isabella likes her new cousin.

 

Larry and Laura Robinson (Grant's parents) came in to see their new granddaughter too. 

But it has been quickly established that she is a Tennessee Vols fan (sorry Larry and Laura).  :)

 

Crystal and Avery even came to visit us at Stone Mountain.

 

We enjoyed every minute we got to hold lil' Miss Avery.
