We got the call this evening that both Aaron and Austin have been accepted into the state children's choir. This is the 3rd year they've tried out so are very excited. We plan to celebrate tomorrow with a big barbecue for family and friends. Wish you all could join us.

This is wonderful!
Congratulations to the boys and to your whole family. I hope they have a wonderful experience and that you all get to enjoy the fruits of their talents. When I was young I enjoyed nothing more than to stand in front of a crowd and sing. It brought me a joy that seemed to transcend all other things. I hope your kids have the same feeling...
I think we would all love to be there for your family celebration but please know that we will be there in spirit. Celebrating with our children is certainly more fun than punishing them!
Thanks for sharing the news with us, Rick.

Thank you all very much. This is kind of like winning the lottery. We've wanted it but never expected it would happen. Music has always been an important part of our life and it's been the boys' dream to be in the children's choir. They audition about 300 kids every year but only have 15 spots available each year. I'll have to do some new juggling of schedules 3 evenings per week but it's a small price to see my kids' dreams come true. And yes, I am very proud of them.

I just thought of something. I'm really glad that BOTH of the twins were picked. It would have been hard on one of them if only one was selected

I was glad I was a fraternal twin (twin sister). That way we really didn't have to compete though I was the better student and she was better looking!
