soul

The last couple of nights after dinner while I am washing the dishes there is a new routine. The kids clear the table, then Skylar rushes to the piano and begins playing song after song. Then Annabel and she sit down and sing two part harmonies. Then Gary sits at the piano and plays while Annabel sings. It is so precious. Tonight she was working on "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

This is the room where it all happens. Some people have lots of pets. We have lots of instruments. We have several guitars, a piano, an electronic keyboard, a violin, a mandolin, tablas (Indian drums - pictured under the piano), an electronic drum set, three harmonicas, several tambourines, maracas, egg shakes, and a harmonium. And we've got voices.

Yeah, we've got soul.
