2007 September: Robertson

I guess to get things started we can give an update on the girls. They are still growing faster than we can keep up with. We are looking at getting winter clothes for them, but we have no idea how big they will be by December. So we will wait. They are getting around to pretty much where ever they want to go. No crawling, just scooting and rolling. However, they are up on their hands and knees now and rock back and forth. Any day now they will take that first little step and then our semi docile existence will be shattered forever. They still enjoy jabbering and have recently started jabbering to each other. They really like to play together when they are not pulling each others hair or kicking each other in the face in an effort to get from point A to B.

Morgan has been called as the music chorister for the Relief Society in our ward and already complains that she has run out of ideas. If you have any, send them our way. Other than that she has been trying to find a routine to fall into during the day. She goes on walks now and then, does her church callings, and above all keeps me going. She has become a personal tutor and task master getting me ready for the GREs. I know that she has put up with a lot of my griping, but she has born it all in stride and with infinite patience.
This last Tuesday I was called into the office of the chairman over the Humanities and Philosophy department on campus. Not knowing what the meeting was about, I was floored when he offered me a job as an adjunct faculty member for the winter semester. The job offered is to teach two philosophy classes. This job really is a God send. We didn't really know what we were going to do in between my graduation in December and grad school in August. This allows me something to do, gives me good experience, gives me a little money to save, and will help me prepare for grad school better than anything else I could do. We feel really blessed to be given this opportunity. I know that we are being looked out for by a Heavenly Father that hears our concerns and opens opportunities to us if we do our part.
I think that is about it for our busy lives. God Bless,
Derik and family
