HE'S HERE!!!

Unfortunately I'm not talking about the baby, although you can call this my new baby too. I have been playing the piano since I was about 6 or 7 years old. I grew up with lots of music in our home and always dreamed of taking that tradition into my own family one day. When I married Spencer and we moved to Utah I was given an old antique upright piano. It was huge. It didn't have a bench and was not much to look at, but I loved playing it anyway. When we moved back to California we realized we would have to say goodbye to the piano because it was too big to move again. I had my sister's piano in our new home for about a year until she got married and then I had nothing. I really missed having a piano. After moving to a little bit bigger house 2 1/2 years ago we had the perfect corner in the house for a piano... someday. Well, for Christmas this year Spencer surprised me with a baby grand piano. It needed a few parts polished a little and so it was finally delivered today! I sat and played the piano for an hour and a half. Wade was late going down for a nap, I ignored my kids, Gavin even asked me at one point how long I was going to keep playing. We have already signed Chase up for piano lessons set to begin next Wednesday and he is so excited. I am so grateful for the sacrifice Spencer made to get this piano for our family and I am excited for the memories it will bring in our home.

Here he is...
