Robert and Sally Melban

I recently was reminded of a couple in our family that many of you haven't been introduced to yet. They are super sweet and haven't always been together. First to come into the family was Sally. I believe that it was Easter of '04 when we met her. She is just a doll and so precious. Gracelyn immediately took to her and since then she has brightened our day immensely. Sally is easy going and not loud or outspoken. I like that about her.



Robert came later in '06 but like Sally he too is just a loving easy going guy. Cannon is becoming more fond of Robert and enjoys his quiet ways. Cannon makes up for Robert's meekness.


Both Sally and Robert are treasured by other members in our family as well. They have stayed with Nana-B and Papa before but prefer to stay here at our house. Marlee just squeals with delight when she comes over and Sally is here. Also she comes into my house and starts searching for Sally immediately.

So here they are~Robert and Sally Melban

Gracelyn has slept with Sally faithfully since the day she got her. Robert hasn't felt the love as much as Sally until recently. Cannon drug out Robert from the toy box and he has set up permanent residency in Cannon's bed ever since. Sally went to school with Gracelyn for the first few weeks and just stayed in her backpack. I know that is made Grace feel better knowing that Sally was with er at school. Poor Sally has been through it all and needs to be washed again soon but through it all she has never lost her fluffiness. What a true friend.Gracelyn gets the credit for naming both Robert and Sally. She loves the name Sally and says if she has a girl when she grows up her name will be Sally Elizabeth. She also named Robert for Cannon. I thought it was hilarious that Robert is what she came up with!
