Crib Note – Henry James Robinson

Henry James Robinson made his parents so proud on October 29th, when he, as their first child, entered the world weighing eight pounds, six ounces; and boasting 20 and one-half inches in length! His blue eyes and dark hair make him a charmer already, especially to parents Anne Winter Robinson and Adam Robinson of Overland Park. The young gentleman’s grandparents are Susan and Larry Winter of Mission Hills, Kansas, and Allyson and Jeff Robinson of Mission, Kansas.
