I'm here.

Crazy how starting back to school with FOUR kids has thrown me for such a loop this year.

Somehow there hasn't been any time to blog.

This morning Tejan and I go to the hopsital for a day of testing. I expect to be at the hospital most of the time this whole week... with surgery scheduled for Wednesday...

We have several families bringing us meals this week... what a blessing. I am so thankful to not have to worry about cooking/providing healthy meals for the family...

Tejan told me last night at bedtime that he is not worried about going today. But this is a pattern I see in him... he seems fine facing new things until just minutes before it's time to go. And then he curls up in a ball and refuses to move. (Sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively.) The point is - he puts the brakes on big time. I anticipate the same thing when it's time to go today. I'm a bit anxious, because I'm unfamiliar with this hospital... for some reason, I'm all freaked out about not knowing where to park. Or whether I should bring lunches for us...

I know we'll get through the day.

But if you're the praying sort, could you remember us today?

So far, being in America has been one grand adventure for this little boy.

Today starts some pretty scary stuff for him.

Pray that I can comfort him and be able to support him and help him feel safe.

Pray that the doctors can fix his legs completely.

Pray that he will have courage.

Thanks, friends.

Happy Monday.

    He couldn't have a better family to help him thru this.

    Oh man, you were expecting a healthy meal? I'm glad I ran out of time to bake something for dessert :)

    We've prayed all day and will continue. Sweet little boy.

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...
