Thanksgiving 2009
We had a great Thanksgiving with the entire family this year! There were 26 of us gathered at our house on Thursday for a delicious meal. It was so nice to have four generations on both sides of our family gathered together. I did not get a group picture (and shame on me!) It was so nice to see everyone. Melissa and Chris even made the trip from Texas to join us! It was a busy week and Erin was sick the entire week....so please excuse the lack of pictures.

Little Boy Blue Come Blow Your Horn....
Grant has always seemed to have a love for all things musical. He is constantly singing and humming while playing with his toys. He also makes up songs daily (usually to the tune of Jingle Bells : ) Lately, I have been trying to widen his exposure to different kinds of music. Stephen and I are (or were) musicians and I hope to pass along our love and appreciation for music along to our children.
The other night I was playing the piano for Grant and Erin and I decided to lift the lid to our baby grand so that Grant could watch the hammer hit the strings as i played. I have fond memories of my mother playing the piano for us when I was little. I would dance around the living room, sit next to her, or sometimes simply lie under the piano and listen to the soothing sounds while she played. While, I am not near the accomplished pianist that she is, I can play a little. As I was playing, Grant said with delight, "Mommy, the piano's dancing!!!"
Yesterday, I was playing a variety of music for the kids and I was pointing out each instrument to Grant. That's when I told him that his daddy played the trumpet. He asked to see it. So when Stephen got home, he brought his trumpet out and played a little for Grant. Then, we let Grant have a turn. He couldn't have been more pleased!

I think we have a future brass player in the house!!! Now the question is: will Erin play the clarinet?
