I'm a ham, and my kid is getting attention in his own way

So I've been helping out with a tri-stake production of the musical "Scrooge" doing whatever it is that they need me to do. I wasn't able to get a part since auditions were finished just after we moved here. However since I was playing parts on the piano for the rehearsals until the REAL accompanist was available, I pretty much became the understudy for whatever parts might be necessary, and I now have a part! I'm very excited for this small role because I get to be very silly and use a British accent--Cockney actually. Very fun. I'm one the people that's pawning off Ebeneezer's stuff after he's dead, singing a song about "Balancing the Books." Love it. Of course you should all come and see me in my amazing Tacoma, WA debut, but I'll understand if you don't make it all the way out here. :)

In other news--Varick is wearing a splint on his right leg. Last Wednesday, Jasper was taking the boys down the slide at the park. Kai first, Varick in the middle, Jasper holding them both. I wasn't there, but from what I understand, Varick's leg slipped from off Jasper's leg to get lodged between Jasper's leg and the side of the slide, twisting his little leg/ankle backwards as they went down. OUCH! In fact that's all he said the rest of the afternoon, until he got some medicine for the pain, "owie, owie, owie." He's doing better, but he still needs to see the doctor again next Wednesday to see if the possible fracture on the initial x-ray is in fact a fracture. If it's in the place Jasper thinks it might be, then he'll continue to wear the splint, if not it'll be a cast for a few weeks. At least it's not completely broken!
