Guitar Lessons

Sage is our music man. I feel like I live with a teenager because he is constantly playing his music on the speaker and "rocking out." I get sensory overload easily and I'm ready to buy that kid a smart speaker for his room so I don't have to listen to all the "rocking out" songs his Daddy shows him. Sage remembers just about every song and the artist who sings it that his Dad shows him. Music is clearly his thing. He tries to sing like the various artists he listens to and is content to just hang out and listen to his tunes. It's adorable and maddening and concerning and wonderful all at the same time. We don't want Sage pursuing a career as a Rocker, but we do want to fuel his passion. So when Sage announced he wanted to learn to play the guitar Tom took him to the music store to make that happen. For now, Tom is giving him lessons. When we aren't able to teach him anymore we'll find someone who can. We bought him a child's guitar but he still looks small sitting behind it. His fingers are gaining strength but are sore from practice, and he's learning to strum and read music and hold his fingers correctly all at the same time. It's a lot for a little boy but he's doing well! Here's his first little song with Tom accompanying him.

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away.

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
