Our New Toy

Rick, Cody, Lauren, and Sam are all taking drum lessons. They LOVE them. We have a friend that has taken on the challenge of teaching them. It has been such a blessing to our family. Up to this point, they have been going to their lessons and then just practicing at home with their drumsticks. They have all reached the point of needing actual drums to practice on.

Matt, their teacher, found them a great set at a great price. Rick, Cody and Lauren went to pick them up. You may be asking if I am crazy. The answer is probably, "yes," but that is for many other reasons. The drums are in the basement and don't create too much noise in the rest of the house. I just love seeing them have something that they are learning and enjoying together. It is way easier to take care of than a pet!!

Here they are practicing:

Notice the bandana around Cody's head. Yes, it may look cool, but that is not why he is wearing it. He is one of our sensory kids. He put it on to keep the noise from hurting his ears so much.

I just had to include this picture just because it is cute. Isaiah is hitting the punching bag.

Look at the passion in his face!
