Happy Birthday Fama Dianne Seppi Robinson!

We named you after your aunt and great aunt.
God formed you in my womb.
Behold, you were fearfully and wonderfully made.
Young girls at the United Brethren church
sang "Even Before I Was Born"
for your dedication to the LORD.

Our Muffin-Cake


You were in your element in a tree



Our Popcorn Indian


You helped us roof
and your jeans show it.

You loved little Victor and baby Melody
You are a special delight in the video
of Melody's birth.


You loved to read to Victor.


Your Teepee and Sister Melody


When the Silliman family from our Springville Fellowship
came over to help us butcher
four turkeys for Thanksgiving.
They were a little hurt that
you were not happy for the help.

You cared for an orphaned baby bird.

We met Arthur B. Robinson (of OISM)
at a Doctor's for Disaster Preparedness Conference
in Arizona.

Art Robinson caravaned home with us, and
invited us up to meet his family in Oregon.

We visited the Robinsons in Oregon

Joshua Called

We visited at the Robinson Ranch Christmas 2003

on the way to
Johanna Balyeat's wedding in Billings, MT.

On Joshua's first visit here, he delivered

his stuffed (taxidermy) raccoon
in a plywood box the day before he proposed.
Dr. Robinson, said Joshua's brothers would help him
build a fine steel-framed home.
A couple weeks later Art examined your design and said,
Construction will begin right after the wedding.
Theirs, he said, will be the first house built on the ranch.


You loved your "babies."


When Lance reported to Dr. Robinson, the wonderful help Joshua had been during 2004 Spring break when he was here along with his two sisters, Arynne & Bethany,
Art responded, “Let’s get this straight,
we get Fama; you don’t get Joshua.”

Joshua said you were
the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

Joshua said you could have anything you want--anything.
Joshua told all of us gathered for your betrothal celebration
that he will build you that house you had designed.
When he picked up the last of your wedding gifts,
Joshua told us he would bring you back to see us often.
Fama, remind Joshua to honor the Lord by keeping his word.

On Christmas Day 2004,
Art took David & I for a walk, informed us that he was sending Joshua to graduate school to get his doctorate in nuclear engineering, but before that, after Joshua graduates June 2005, "Joshua will have a year off to relax and build that house."
