New Toy

This is our latest addition. I've been looking on and off for a free or really cheap piano. This one was just two miles from us. It had been just sitting unused. All the keys work, the sound is decent, and the "guts" look sound. I am pretty excited to have a piano again! It's been five years since we've had one in the house. I went through all the music, and have lots of beginner books. Jared has learned all the major scales. Jacob still remembers what he learned years ago. Now to find free or really cheap lessons...

Sick

Recently, the children passed a virus which kept Nancy and Jason down with fever for seven days. Joshua lost 20 pounds in three days. Jason's appetite was awful, so when he wanted some applesauce he got it! You can see him sitting, wrapped in a blanket to keep the chilling to a minimum, and sporting sunglasses because the sun from the window was bugging him. Pretty cute - even while sick!
