The Music Makers

Sunday morning. 

Pancakes made by Aidan, Julia, and Daddy were eaten and enjoyed by the aforementioned people and Mommy.

Breakfast is over.

The day is still new.

Out comes the piano. And the brother and sister begin some adorable, hilarious, music-making, booty-shaking merriment. 

The music was good; the laughter was unforgettably amazing. Such giddiness, such good friends, such a good start to a Sunday morning. 

May you two always find a way to make music together. 

Through lunch and beyond.

Songs of the Summer

Aidan and Julia,

You both have songs in your hearts, and that makes me happy, because singing and music make me happy too!

We sing a lot- whether it's rocking out to some of our favorite 'jams' in the car, our Beatles/Ben Folds (or even Kenny Loggins) lullabies each night, or working on our Michael Jackson or Les Mis during the day, or even channeling our inner Weird Al and making our amazing parodies, we sing at least once a day!

It's good for the soul!

And it's so good for me and your mom to see how much JOY music is bringing both of you!

So, what song exactly is in your heart? 

Here's a snippet of what's been spinning on our records in the summer of '17.

Rock on, my children. Rock on.

KISS

Julia, you said: 'Dad, me and Aidan want to put on a rock show upstairs. Can you paint our faces like Kiss? I want to be the kitty and Aidan wants to be the one with the long tongue!'


Heck yeah, I can!

And HECK YEAH to you and Aidan for wanting to ROCK AND ROLL all night and PARTY EVERY DAY!

You guys are amazing rock stars, amazing actors, amazing imagine-ers, and I hope you never lose that confidence to dream big and creatively express yourselves!

What happened next was some pure magic, made entirely by you!

Rock on, my children!

Rock ON FOREVER!
