Baby #3

I guess I haven't officially announced on here that I'm pregnant! I'm at 13 weeks, and am due Sept. 4... another hot TX summer being pregnant, but at least I can swim! I was urged by others to add the little baby ticker that does the count-down for you on your blog, so it's there. It kind of creeps me out, but that's our angel. :) I had an ultrasound yesterday, and was glad to see it looking more like a baby than an alien. The baby looked as if it was sucking his/her thumb... cute. Ben's of course hoping for a boy, to even out the household a little bit. But the real bet will be....... will it have red hair, or not?!

Bocelli Concert

Blogging has taken a back seat for a little while, but I'm going to try to keep up now. There's one thing, however, worth going back in time for... The Cavalleria Rusticana Opera concert was an amazing experience, one I'm so grateful I could be a part of! It was my first official try at singing opera (in the chorus), and I really liked it. There were 5 featured soloists from all over the world, Andrea Bocelli being the most famous. Someone in Mastersingers (my choir) took some cool pics of the event and rehearsals, so here are a few.

On the second night's performance, he came out afterwards to the raging crowd and played/sang his Ave Maria, followed by a duet with his costar, Victoria (who had an amazing, pure soprano voice).

He actually started singing during this photo, so I joined in. :)
