Tejan Update

Good news this week on the Tejan front.

He'll be having his surgery at Shriner's on September 12th.

Things are in motion to get his tickets and transportation arranged.

He'll arrive here early enough to have a pre-op appointment. Not sure of the date on that, but I'm assuming it could be about a week before his surgery.

It's so good to finally have a date. It makes it all feel real.

We're very excited around here to see this answer to many months of prayers.

And SO eager to meet our African son/brother.

Can you even believe it's actually going to happen finally?

Of course, now I'm nesting.

Thinking of all the things I'd like to get done before his arrival.

Silly.

The timing really couldn't have been more perfect. I'd already asked for the weekend after the 12th off because I was thinking about going to the coast for a crop with my mom. So I'm totally free to be at the hospital... I think that's so cool.

It's been over a year and a half that I've felt the need to pray for Africa.

And I've been praying specifically for Tejan since last November.

Now, in less than two months, he will be living in my home.

I'll be feeding him.

And playing with him.

Washing his clothes.

Managing his appointments.

Getting to know a little boy from Africa.

God gave me a dream.

And now He's letting me live it.

Amazing.

    This will be such an act of God in you, and Tejan, and your family. Who knows what the eternal effects may be?

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
