Sorry about my absence. I have been out the with flu, which eventually developed into pneumonia. So I have not done a lot for the past three weeks. Everyone else, Jeff, the kids, the ward has done extra work taking care of me. I appreciate all of their help, it has really been great to know that I am loved.
Since I really don't have much to write about for the past 3 weeks, I will go back to the last thing I was going to write about. We went to Disneyland again. I became sick the day after we went, so I was very grateful that we went when we did.
We had a great day. Maddie's friend, Patrick, came with us. It was a nice empty January day, so we went on nearly all of the rides in both parks. They we went to see the World of Color presentation at the end of the day. It was very strange. The park closed at 8:00,
but the presentation didn't start until 8:30. I have never seen that happen before. So we spent an extra hour at the park. The World of Color was fabulous. There were fountains that moved and sprayed in sync with the music.
There were lights that came from everywhere, lasers, and spotlights, and all sorts of different combinations. With the fountains and the lights, it made some very unique effects. We often thought "How did they do that?" It was a very fun day.
But we still had a nice day. Allie made herself a heart headband to wear to school. Each of the kids wrote something that they love (hot chocolate, snuggling in a blanket, etc.) on their heart and posted it on our banner. 
In return, they received a heart filled with chocolates. We all enjoyed the fragrance and beautiful red roses from the centerpiece that we brought home from the wedding on Saturday night. All in all, it was an enjoyable day.
