Welcome to Islandshire, Robin Elizabeth!

Trudy here. I always love welcoming new little girls to Islandshire. It's my favorite part of being a reporter for the Gazette! I'm a bit behind in introductions, because there are already a lot of us here . . . but today we're welcoming a brand new arrival: Robin Elizabeth!

Robin came in on a bus last week and arrived with long black hair and bangs (Mom says she was #4. see previous post for pics of Robin trying different wigs.). Here are some pictures of her as she came here . . .

But Robin really wanted to have a makeover at the Islandshire Spa, so Mom and Aunty set about giving her a whole new look. Robin's hair is being donated to one of Grammy's newly adopted little girls who has been sick and has no hair --- and she's always wanted long black hair with bangs!

Robin is very proud of her name, because she is named for Roy Rogers and Dale Evans' little daughter, Robin Elizabeth. The real Robin was born in 1950 and was a precious little girl who suffered from Downs Syndrome and heart problems. She blessed the world for two years before going home to Heaven. Dale wrote a beautiful book about Robin's short life, and it was this book that was instrumental in showing people everywhere that they didn't need to be ashamed of their little children suffering from Downs Syndrome. God used the real little Robin to make great changes!

Robin holds her favorite book, "Angel Unaware" by Dale Evans Rogers.

Here is a video that my sister made to Dale's son, Angel Unaware. There are a lot of films and some video of the real Robin!


Like her namesake, our Robin loves to wear Western themed outfits, and she's looking forward to getting a cowboy hat and a guitar of her own. She is part of the Islandshire Girls' Choir, and her favorite song is The Bible Tells Me So . . . written by Dale Evans Rogers!

Check back in tomorrow, because there will be a full story about Robin's makeover!
