This was my first attempt at posting a picture on my blog, so I had to use something that was already on my computer...thus this picture of "Wicked" which I absolutely cannot wait to see! I got the CD soundtrack last year and listen to it in my van ALL THE TIME! It is brilliant!! If you haven't heard it...go buy it! I'm hoping to get to see the stage show sometime in the next year. Some of my choir students have seen it and cannot say enough great things about it. The vocals are so incredible and you can kind of follow the story as you listen to the CD straight through. That's my "Wicked" plug! :)

Ben turns five years old today...big birthday!! He is growing up so fast and is such a great kid. I found that he has his first loose tooth the other night and I burst into tears. :) (There's no telling what I'll be like when he goes to kindergarten next year!) Anyway, I am so proud of him and it is a great joy to be able to watch him grow and turn into a young little man. I told him this morning that today is one of my very favorite days of the year...because he was born. Who knew how these boys would change our lives and hearts forever and for the better.

We are new to this whole "blog" thing, but they are so addictive to read that I figured "Why not try having one of our own?!" My husband Eric and I have two beautiful boys, Ben (5 yrs.) and Ian (2 yrs.) who keep us busy, busy, busy! :)

I teach middle school and high school choir and I love it! Eric works for a music store and enjoys his job as well.

Ben just started playing soccer this year and also attends pre-school for the second year.
Ian wants to do everything that "big brother" does and he has no fear!
