She has a firm grip on her instrument

Musician at Rest

Some friends recently handed down a toy keyboard from their kids to ours. It has become the most popular toy in the house. Elisabeth almost never puts it down and even fell asleep with it in her clutches a few days ago.

Bundled and ready to go!

Still with Sarah

I’m not sure Hannah has left Sarah’s side since the last photo I posted of her hovering over the poor girl! Deborah took this picture while all of the kids were gathered around Sarah…Hannah just happened to be the closest. She is always the closest.
