Houston Highlights
I was going to write a whole detailed post about our trip to Houston and how amazing it was, but I’m EXHAUSTED y’all.
So, I’ll let the pictures do the talking:
Advice
Every single day Willa says “I want to play the violin!” Every day.
We say “what about the piano, or the guitar?” and she says “NO! The violin!”
She loves music. The husband is a classically trained guitarist and bass player. His father is a folk singer. When I was pregnant the husband used to play guitar next to my belly. When Willa was about six months old we put a guitar on the floor and let her experiment with it. She often plays with guitars or pianos, but still asks to play a violin. When we listen to classical music she says “I hear violin!”
Willa has music in her blood.
We never wanted to be those parents who forced their kid to take music lessons, but it’s what Willa wants. So, we’ve come to the conclusion that we should get Willa a violin.
The question is, should we buy one or rent one?
I’d love to hear about your experiences with your children taking music lessons.

I’ve been really sick. Long story, but basically the doctors think I have some kind of staph infection, maybe MRSA, which has compromised my immune system. I am trying really hard to get healthy, but I am exhausted.
So, in lieu of a real post, I give you this picture:
