Most recently, my parents came to visit and babysit our three kiddos so that my husband and I could take a long weekend-get-away. It was our first vacation without our children and I did better than I thought I would. (I don't have a problem with using babysitters for a night out (dinner, movie, museums, etc.), but overnight-ing is a whole different thing!) We spent a long weekend in Sarasota, Florida. Beautiful!
In addition, we received the gift of a gently-used piano from a former colleague of mine. We feel so blessed to be able to offer the gift of music to our children. Both my husband and I sing, and I play the piano (poorly!), so it has been a common discussion around our home on how we could affordably purchase a piano and offer our children lessons. When the opportunity presented itself to be able to acquire a gently-used piano from a colleague who has since retired from education and is downsizing from their current home, I jumped at the chance. We're already in love with our new piano!
After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Fabulous! I was beside myself last fall when I inherited a keyboard. I took piano lessons for nine years growing up and I still play whenever I have the chance. How wonderful that you can pass down that appreciation for music to your kiddos; and the piano looks to be in great shape.
Fun for you guys!
I'm sure the kids will have fun with this as you will. What a
great way to get a piano!
