Feeling a bit spoiled

So my birthday was last month. I got a nice used Nikon camera from my adopted mom. The family pitched in and got me accessories to go with it. I am just excited that I will be able to take pictures of my kids without missing the shot. My old camera took so long between takes that I missed so much. It is so fancy, I have much to learn.

Speaking of learning new things, Court got me a piano. Our neighbor was moving and didn't want to take the piano with her, so we got it at a great price (thanks Sue). Here is a picture of my new friend.

For those of you who are wondering, no I don't play. At least not until a couple of weeks ago. I have started taking piano lessons. It is something I have always wanted to do and now I get the chance. Right now I can play Old McDonald, Merrily We Roll Along, and Yankee Doodle. As you can guess Izzy loves it. If you look to the right of the piano there is an old keyboard we pulled out storage for Izzy to play on while I practice. She loves rocking out on it. Hopefully, she will be as excited to play in a few years when she starting piano lessons herself.

The piano looks awesome!! I want to hear a little ditty next time I see you! And you are welcome to come to visit anytime--not that Tooele is on the way to anywhere!! But Luke would love to play with Izzy. Thanks again for the help with the move! You guys were lifesavers.
