Sarah and I just had a conversation.

Me: You are my favorite Sarah!

Sarah: No, Robbie is my favorite!

But you’re my favorite Sarah!

No, Robbie is my favorite!

Robbie is your favorite what?

Robbie is my own, but you’re not my own.

Then what am I?

You’re Dad’s own, and Dad is your own. And Robbie is my own and I am Robbie’s own.

I thought it was cute.

Now on to illnesses.  It’s a rough winter so far. Sometime in November, I had to take Andrea to the ER at Primary Children’s because she had croup and was having difficulty breathing. November 30th, Sarah got pink eye and got oral antibiotics for it. On December 18th, I got food poisoning. Oh my heck, that is the most miserable I have ever felt, EVER. On December 28th, Andrea starting puking and got diarrhea for several days. (The puking only lasted one day.) And now on January 8th, Andrea got pink eye and was prescribed eye drops. What stinks, is every time one of us gets sick, it keeps me from a Primary Presidency meeting, or it keeps me home from church on Sunday.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I’m in the Primary Presidency. They put us in at the end of November, and I am the Secretary. Sarah is now a Sunbeam and she is doing so great during Sharing Time. I assume she’s doing well during class, too, because no one comes looking for me. She misses Nursery, though. She keeps asking when she can go to Nursery, and after Sharing Time she asks if it’s time to go play with Tammy (the Nursery leader).

Patty got her mission call on January 4th! It was so super exciting to be there when she opened the letter. She is leaving for the MTC on May 23rd, which is one week before her birthday, and will be serving in the Peru, Lima West mission. Part of me is jealous that she’s getting this amazing experience, but I wouldn’t trade the first 2 years of my marriage for ANYTHING.

Marlow moved back to Utah on Christmas day… And back to Oregon last night. I’ll have to ask him if it’s okay for me to talk about it.

Anthony is back in school. Today was the first day of Spring semester.

We got the Subaru fixed, so we’ll be a 2-car family again as soon as we get it registered. I’m VERY excited about that.

Today was such a great day. Andrea is getting over her pink eye super fast, so she has been very cheerful and playful all day. Sarah recently discovered Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and likes to watch it on YouTube. She also figured out how to work the computer mouse, so she can pick the next episode after one finishes. Today she kept calling me Minnie, and she was Mickey. We talked with voices and she used her “Mouseketools” to help me do laundry. When Anthony got home, she called him Donald and told him he was the cutest duck in the WHOLE WORLD.

Now for a couple pictures:

Andrea’s hair is getting so long and curly!

These are some toddler pictures of Anthony and I. I thought it might be interesting to show how much we both look like both the girls. Somewhere there is a younger picture of Anthony and he has blond hair. I’ll have to find it and scan it.
