Hello One and All,
October has been a quick month for us. We started it with my mom with us to help with Jamis. She was a great help and we all enjoyed her stay with us. She left to go back Rexburg on the 7th. That was the day that almost everything fell apart. The girls were distraught that grandma went away. Being distraught for them translates into being destructive. They went on a distraught destructive rampage. Morgan and I were watching in wonder and horror. But that didn’t last long. They both calmed down fast in the afternoon and Daria kept calming way down. She eventually became lethargic. By the time it was bed time, she wasn’t interested in anything. When Morgan and I went to bed a few hours later, I checked on the girls. Daria was still awake and having a hard time breathing. I ended up taking her into the emergency room. She had advanced bronchitis and a tear in her lung tissue. But everyone in the ER was really nice to her. She walked away (or I carried her away) with stickers, candy, and a new stuffed animal. After a few days on antibiotics, she was beck to her old self. Luckily, no one else got sick to that extent.
Speaking of sickness. All of us has been down and out at some time this month with the cold. However, we have watched as the flu knocked out a good chunk of our branch and some of our neighbors. But, we have been able to avoid it.
I took the GRE this month and did fairly well on it. My math scores could have been better; however, the programs I want to get into are much more concerned with my analytic and verbal scores. In both sections I scored somewhere in the 90th percentiles. So I have decided to start to apply to doctoral programs and see what happens.
For the rest of the month we had general conference, stake conference, several trips to Rochester for parties, and chauffeuring missionaries. I also had the young men over to our place for a pizza night where we played games. I also took the youth to do a highway cleanup. I was worried during the week leading up to the clean-up since it rained buckets every single day. The day before the clean-up Rochester had about four inches of snow, but the day of the cleanup was sunny and the ground was clear.
Morgan has been busy with Jamis and getting ready for the primary program and keeping the girls from smothering Jamis with love and kisses. She keeps recovering from the delivery bit by bit and is more and more back to her old self. She has more energy and is able to get up and do the things she wants to do. She is now in full swinging preparing for our trip to Idaho in a little over a month. We are really excited to be coming out to visit. I think that does it for us this month.
Bless you all,
The Robertsons

I'm glad Daria is ok.
P.S. I can't hear you say the word "Doctoral" without immediately humming the Beatles song, "Dr. Roberts".
Studying medicine has ruined me, now when I hear you say that Daria started acting strange or lethargic I think of all these life threatening things that could be wrong with her. I'm glad they were able to get her fixed up quickly.
Congrats on the GRE, test taking is no fun.
Say hello to Idaho for us when you're there, I think we won't make it back until next summer.
