2008 February: Robertson

February has been a busy month for us full of doctors visits. We started the month with Daria developing pneumonia. We woke up on a Saturday morning, and Daria was having a really hard time breathing. We took her into a seven-day-a-week clinic to get her looked at and they declared pretty bad pneumonia. She received two shots there, antibiotics, and a breathing medication. We took her back the next day for more shots, and again on Monday for another checkup. Luckily Kyla never developed it but she did catch a cold – twice.

Kyla went in for a hearing checkup to make sure that the antibiotics that she received when she was born hasn't attacked her hearing. Her general hearing is just fine, but she refused to allow the doctor to put anything in her ear to check if her hearing is 100 percent. Every time the doctor came with the earphones Kyla would scream. The doctor said she was good enough and didn't need any more testing.

Morgan started working and the flowers for a wedding. It has caused her some frustration since the lady she is doing them for didn't really tell her what they wanted as far as flowers go and kept calling her trying to get her to get the flowers at one Internet shop or another. Finally she was able to meet with the brides mom and go over flowers and only after that did the bride herself call and say what she wanted for real. Morgan is now feeling a lot better about the entire situation.

I have been busy with work and my book. I am almost done. I am just waiting for one more copyright to go through so I can include the article and then it is off to the printers. I am fairly pleased with the end result. I am going to start phase two and create some tests and quizzes that will be based off of the readings in the book and try to revamp my syllabus a little for the summer. It promises to be a good class. I am excited for it.

Morgan and I have been called to be teachers for our wards Family History class. We have mixed feelings about the calling. I finally feel like I am being used in the ward, so I am excited. Morgan, who already has two callings, sees this as the unwanted third wheel and approaches it with hesitancy. It might be that I end up teaching the lessons while Morgan corrals the girls during Sunday School. It should be a good experience for us either way. I believe that is all that I have to report from balmy, balmy Rexburg. Hope that this finds you all doing well. Love you,


Daria, Morgan, Kyla, and Derik
