Dear Auntie Cathy,

How are you? I hope you are doing fine and well. May God continue to bless you so much and give you a life worthy. Thank you for sending the Christmas gifts for me, I really appreciate it and I thank you so much. Also I want to thank you so much for the wonderful book you sent for me "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". I love that book so much and I have read the book! You bought the first one when I was there with you and you also send me the 2 - that was great and I also appreciate it.

Please, I really really want you to give a big hug to Uncle Asia, Kyler, Savannah, Ethan and Gracie. I just want to give them a Merry Christmas, although Christmas time is past.

Oh - how is Gracie? I hope she is doing fine without me.

Auntie Cathy, I am always praying for all of you - for God's success to flow upon you all.

I saw the pictures you sent for me. I hope you are having a fun time in America, and are doing fine. May God bless you. Please greet all of my friends for me and all the other families I went to stay with.

I love you all so much.

Love from your son
Tejan J. Margay"

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...
