Another Successful Wind Ensemble Concert
Last night the College Wind Ensemble, of which I am part, performed. It was an awesome concert and featured some amazing soloists. We performed to a full house. Some of the selections were New world Symphony by Antonin Dvorak, transcribed for band by Mark H. Hindsley, Gabriel's Oboe by Ennio Morricone, and Concertino for Flute by Cecile Chaminade. It was an exciting concert, full of wonderful music, talented musicians and patroned by so many positive members of the community. Marc brought Max and my sister attended. Max is doing so well at the concerts. Marc, bless his heart, has always been so supportive of our performances and has brought Max along ever since he was just baby. Max has always been a ball of fire, and Marc really has never been able to sit back and relax while listening to our concerts. Usually he has had to chase Max around the back of the auditorium. I'm so glad Marc has perserved in bringing him along. It has paid off, and Max now can sit through an entire performance, and for the most part, quietly. Our next concert is scheduled for December 13th.

No News Yet
No news yet on our referral. There are lots of rumors flying about the internet. It appears that matching has begun and that's a good thing. Here is a good link to learn more about the matching process http://chinaadopttalk.com/2006/12/07/how-the-matching-room-works/. How soon do we expect a match and a referral, and most importantly, a picture? Well, that's up to speculation, but we hope it is within the week. In the meantime, we have lots to keep us busy. Max has been busy taking swimming lessons. He is a cautious swimmer, and I guess we are thankful for that. Our swim instructor suggested that we enroll him in 2 classes per week as well as hit the open swim times. I guess you could say, he's in remedial swimming. Yesterday was a great breakthrough! He put his head completely underwater! Everyone on the pool deck cheered and clapped. He is coming along, we think he's just going to be one of those kids that really examines something before he jumps in. I only hope he is this cautious when he is a teenager.
Our wind ensemble will be performing tomorrow night. It is our spring concert, and it promises to be a great program. We have some awesome music and I hope we will be performing to a full house. In the meantime, we are seeing rain, rain, and more rain. Unfortunately the weather man is predicting snow for tonight and into tomorrow morning. The last time I checked, it was spring. Apparently winter isn't ready to pack up. I imagine warmer weather will be here soon, and I know we are all looking forward to getting out doors and working on our summer tans.

First Blog
Well, here goes. This is my first attempt at blogging. I've thought about doing this for some time, but haven't done so. Now, I have a reason for blogging. After a wait of 2 years we may soon be getting our referral for our daughter. Yes, this has been the longest human pregnancy on record. I think that elephants gestate longer, but no matter! We've been taking a few bets around the Vosler household. Marc thinks our referral will arrive on April Fool's Day. Max thinks it should have arrived last week. Our adoption coordinator thinks that our referral will arrive on March 28th (tomorrow) and I am holding out for April 4th. I think the next week, will be a roller coaster, regardless of when we get our referral.
