Heights Vocal Music Concert

Tonight we got to enjoy Kaitlin's singing with the Concert Choir in the Heights Vocal Music Concert. They spent this past Monday in Winfield, performing at Southwestern College. We got to hear the songs they performed there. They sang three songs: 1) Music Spread Thy Voice Around, 2) Shenandoah and 3) Laudate Pueri. They also sang "Joyfully Sing with Pleasure" with the Mixed Chorus. Corby joked that we never know any of the songs they sing in these concerts, though tonight we did know "Shenandoah" and "Oh Dear! What Can the Matter Be?". There are a lot of talented singers at Heights, and we're proud that Kaitlin is singing with the Concert Choir.
Kaitlin also got the keys to her "new" truck tonight, though she doesn't officially get it until tomorrow evening. Our neighbor needs it to drive to work tomorrow, but they are headed to Texas after work. Since Kaitlin has to work at 4, and none of us will be home before they leave town, they signed the title over to us tonight and gave her a set of keys. She's more than excited! I will post pictures sometime in the next few days.

We had a good visit with mom last night. We usually visit her on Saturday, but since we're going to Oklahoma this weekend, we decided to visit her last night. She was eating dinner, but managed to talk the entire time she was eating! In fact, she talked non-stop for an hour and a half! It's wonderful to see her so animated and happy!

Well, Corby's Cubs lost last night, and as I write this, playoff game two is just beginning. It will be another late night, since they are playing in Arizona. I hope they win, because I hate to be in the same room with him when they're losing!

I am currently reading "What Matters Most" by Luanne Rice. She is one of my favorite authors, and I am enjoying this book.

And tonight's quote, fitting for the music theme: "In a world of peace and love, MUSIC would be the universal language." -- Henry David Thoreau

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
