(Click Photo to Enlarge)Around here that is about all we seem to do anymore! Thing 1 is super busy with dance practices preparing for an upcoming competition. She also has her studio class that meets twice a week... on the same days as after school practice, plus one private practice to fine tune it all. I love it. This is what being a mom (not a mother) is all about. Mothering is the loving, nurturing, taking care of side of things. A mom is on the sidelines cheering you on, laughing along side you, and being a friend. My kids are far from grown, but this is a wonderful season of our lives where I can enjoy them more and watch them grow instead of helping them grow up. Thing 2 had his first band concert this week. For a group of 11 year old kids who have no prior experience other than the first 2.5 months of school they did great. Thing 2 plays the French Horn. He enjoys it because it was his choice. We did not steer him in any certain direction of what to play. He has music influences around the house and it was nice to see him make his own choice. I look forward to his progress throughout the year.
I enjoy watching performances that showcase all the hard work my kids have put in. It makes me smile and warms my heart. This is only the beginning.

Hi Rhonda, You're right it's only the beginning! Who knows how far Thing 1 and Thing 2 will go? I, your Aunt Vick, remember so well you at the same age dancing around Grandma's kitchen. The dance part came from you. The music also came from you. You LOVED music as a kid. And now your Aunt Vick who did magic shows with you back then is on Live Prime-Time Saturday night television this Saturday night! The biggest chance of my lifetime. You're right, it's only the beginning!
