CRAZY FEB. 15th

We have had a crazy month! First Lisa had her baby on February 15th. The day before, I was talking to her and she was really ornery. I was so glad that she had her baby the next day. I went to the hospital and waited all day but missed when the baby came. I had to leave about 3:30 to go home and send Eldon off to his sing off at the Columbus Symphony. I also had his parents to get there. They were in town for a week as well. What a crazy day! Oh yeah, it was his mom's birthday too! Little Parker was born at 5:11, Eldon won the competition, and it was wonderful long day.

Eldon now competes on May 30. We are working on choosing his song. It's tough. It needs to please the crowd, be big for his voice, not too high, not too low. It has to be perfect. His last song, "If ever I would leave you," was perfect. Eldon is also special. He will only sing certain songs. So, that limits us to fewer options. I know I keep saying "us" like I have anything to do with this. I don't, but I would like to think I do. It will probably be "Bring him home" from Les Miserable. It fits all those requirements, except that he sang it as his audition. We still need to find out if he is going to be judged by a panel or the audience. That will also make a huge difference.

I couldn't close out this blog without a picture of Parker.
