Not All Instruments Are Created Equal

At least that's what Eric will tell you.  He's a horn player.  That's the french horn for those of you who have never heard it called anything else.  He went to school for horn performance (scholarship included), though he changed his degree before he was done.  He has kept it up (mostly) through the years.  Emma recently was trying to decide what instrument to learn since she wants to be in the band this year.  Eric was a very good boy and tried not to influence her.  He obviously wanted her to choose the horn, but she knew she was free to choose anything she wanted.  In the end though, she ended up choosing the horn, and Eric couldn't be happier.  I'm pretty pleased too.  This means she'll get some extra help at home on her instrument.  So these first pictures that were taken when Emma was only 9 months old, have now started to become a reality.  Why must she keep growing?
