At the very least, I had to get a second blog post in this month. So long JANUARY... Although you did give us reason to celebrate (Josh's birthday, Jordan's Birthday, Martin Luther King Day), I can't say that I'm sad to see you go.

We have all been so pathetic and sick for waaaaaay too long. Sicknesses keep getting passed around and back-and-forth between the four of us. It's awesome! This past weekend was the WORST ever! I (ROBIN) ended up in bed early Friday evening due to "undertheweatherness." Well, that lasted until Sunday evening when I finally started to feel somewhat better. Brent was pretty much on Annie duty until he came down with the stomach bug around 11:00pm Saturday night. So, Sunday was awesome for little Annie. Oh, the best part of it all was that Annie was home with Brent all day Friday because she was throwing up and wheezing Thursday night. She was given steroids to be taken for 4 days as well as breathing treatments every four hours. Lets just say that steroids and the breathing treatments make our little wild one REALLY, REALLY, REALLY crazy. The best part was, we were too sick to really stop her destructiveness.


Now we're in need of a housekeeper to come clean up all of the ruble and sanitize our house so that we can live like a normal family again. I will say that the best part about being sick was that it forced me to not move so I happily lounged on the couch and watched a really good movie with Angelina Jolie. The movie was SALT and it was action packed. For those that know me and my movie watching abilities, it's a rarity for me to make it through an entire movie.

Mom and Pop Mangum are doing wonderfully in the mission field. We miss seeing their beautiful faces on a regular basis. Skype has made it somewhat better, although, we've been too sick to even do that lately.

That's all we've got to report for now. Other good stuff (this was all not so very good)to come later once we figure out what that is. We're working towards change people. This is the year. Grad school(s), jobs, re-location, who knows. All things are possible for us as of now.

So sorry you were all so sick for such a long time. We have been so lucky and we know that it is Heavenly Father watching out for us. We are greatful. We are 100% behind whatever it is you decide to do. Of course, we hope you stay in LA. Laurie is convinced that it should be Grad School, I think that would be wonderful = Brent you are a terrific teacher! But whatever your decision, we are for it! We miss and love you very much!
