My children and Erik's choir concert.

Last night was Erik's first Choir Concert.

He practices twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

That means we get up and have to hurry out the door in fifteen minutes so he makes it on time.

Well he gets fifteen minutes but when I have to go to work I actually have to get up a lot earlier or I'd never be fully dressed and out the door on time.

This is something he has really committed himself to this year.

The number #1 reason for joining: GIRLS! I'm not talking elementary girls either.

It was the fact that he would get to perform for and with Junior High and High School girls. I have a feeling he is going to like the older women. He's always been a flirt with the older girls. :)

It's funny seeing how the boys are both so different in their likes in girls, sports, music, ecetera yet they have a lot of similiar likes. For instance, Erik does like red heads and so does Anthony. But they don't have to be red heads to be "the one."

Their career goals are completely different.

I can remember Anthony's first one was to be a veterinarian. He still has that same love in him for animals. I think that is why FFA has worked out so well for him this year and will in the upcoming year. Another love has been fire fighting and criminal justice. He is already thinking about possibly volunteering for the Vol. Fire Dept. here.

But he's still stuck in such an iffy place. For the longest time he was going to be a longhorn and go to UT but right now I think he's really trying to figure himself out.

It'll all work out and UT is a lot cheaper than Erik's options, thankfully.

Erik's goal since starting Kindergarten is that he wants to be a paleontologist. He realizes this entails majoring in Archaeology in order to get into paleontology. This has been a consisten for him. I realize he's only been in school for five years but you find that a lot of children end up having a passion in their adult life for the thing they did as a child.

His college options at the moment are Brown and he has now added Cambridge to that.

Either way he better get to swimming or something so he can earn some scholarships.

I have high hopes for the both of them and will do what is needed to help them obtain their goals and dreams.

Here are some pictures from last night's performance:

I miss having blonde hair like that! He has a nice smile and wouldn't give dad a kiss in public because he was embarrassed.

His school performing...

This is three elementary schools, one junior high, and one high school.
