Note from the mom!

Today was Andrew's first piano lesson! Miss Linda is his teacher, she lives right down the road and has been teaching piano for a long time. She has great experience in teaching young children! We went today for a trial lesson, to see if Andrew was ready yet. I was a little worried that she would think he is just too young. But, the lesson went well, Andrew enjoyed himself and surprised us a few times. Miss Linda says she would be happy to take him on as a student! I was sooo glad she thought that he did well and was ready to start. She had told us from the beginning that she would be straight forward and let us know if he was not yet ready. But she was very impressed!! Yeah! We're hoping this will help to reign him in a little bit with his wild tendencies! After his lesson we took advantage of the Momo free time and got Andrew's hair cut. He now has a faux-hawk. Too cute! What a big day for my little boy!
Final word came from the bank today for our kitchen remodel, we will sign our home equity loan papers on Thursday and finally get all of this work started. Right now we're in the process of trying to find a contractor and make some actual decisions. We'll be so glad when this is all done! We're hoping to keep our costs down by doing as much work ourselves as possible. We'll see how well that works......
Yesterday we finished off our raised beds with the new landscaping stone. What an amazing difference it makes! It was a lot of hard work but we were so glad we did it! The next day body aches could be done without though.......
On to the next project(s).
Hope everyone is doing well. We are looking forward to a great summer and lots of fun!
The Mom

Your going to have to take some videos to show us your new piano skills! Grandpa and I are going to need some help in our new yard when you get done with yours -- we're going to want to plant some herbs and spices, and put in some more azaleas too. And there are lots of weeds on the hill in the front of the house that need to be pulled! You can practice at your house, then come here and help us. Grandpa is going to play with Junior, David and Jerry this weekend, then they're going to come visit us later this month. Maybe we can get them to take us to the zoo here and send you some pictures. Hope you have a great weekend. We miss you and love you lots.
