This blog has been very quiet. I have not trusted myself to write anything but complaints and grumbling, and who wants to read that? So, I am going to try to be good.
Dan has been performing in, Drood, and doing amazingly well! He is always good, but he is exceptionally good in this show. The amount of lines he had to learn is staggering! He also has to sing a tongue-twister of a song with an accent. He is so good. I never get tired of watching him perform!!! The really amazing thing is that he hurt his back on Monday, and he has been performing every night in pain.:( He is feeling a bit better, but he is still sore every night and stiff every morning, poor guy.
Garrett and Meredith have been rehearsing for our church's Easter production. Each year the teens get to perform a dance number called Ashton. It is so fun! While Jesus is alone praying, angels appear to protect him. Shortly after the angels arrive, demons slither onto the scene and a battle begins. There are lots of special effects with strobe lights and glow-in-the-dark costumes. It is very intense, and the kids give it their all. In the end, the demons are cast down and the angels minister to Jesus. It is a vey powerful number. Can you guess who plays an angel and who plays a demon?:)
Meredith and Connor are also auditioning right now for the spring play at AMS. They both auditioned well yesterday, so I am hopeful that they will make it into the show. This is Meredith's last chance to perform at the middle school. The spring show is always very emotional, especially for the girls and the parents. Everyone is in tears on the last day. There are not many boy parts in this play, so Connor is more likely to be the disappointed one. He will handle it well, but I sure hope he doesn't have to!
Gavin is soon to be leaving to spend 2 days at his friend Josh's house. My parents are on vacation so I needed to find a babysitter for part of Wedesday and Thursday. My friend, Steph, offered to take him for the two days. He and Josh have been buddies all their lives.:)
I went to the neurologist last week, and did not get good news. He is afraid I may need surgery again.:( I was scheduled to have an MRI on Friday, but I just got a call to go this afternoon at 4:00. So, I am off to get ready.
One complaint- NO NEWS FROM ESTONIA. Bummer!

The plays sound very fun.
I know that waiting is so, so, so hard. I want a message from our facilitator or translator often--just to feel SOME connection. I can truly empathize with your feelings. And I feel sad when no one comments on my blog because then I feel even more disconnected. I keep reminding myself that no one stays 'pregnant'forever!!
Joy,RR
Good job Dan. Just keep busy guys and it will soon be time to go get andres. Trust me, i know how hard the waiting is. Lets hope surgery isnt needed and you make a fast recovery. I went to see my hip surgeon yesterday and he wants to try cortizone shots rather than surgery as he says i am still very young for hip replacement and wants to put it off as long as possible due to the fact that they only last around 10-15 years.
I so understand the grumpies when it comes to waiting, and waiting...I am also tickled to have a friend whose family is in to acting. Two of our kids do theater, in fact Julia is in Willy Wonka right now.
I hope Dan's back feels better, I have a bad back, it can get pretty painful.
