Piano lessons have officially begun!
Gentry has loved music since birth, or so it seems.
For his first birthday we gave him a simple toddler drum set, and I think it was the only toy he played with for months. A couple of years ago, we happened upon a vintage Kimball piano, and brought it home with help from a friend.
We've been discussing music lessons for some time now, and last year at Christmas we made the acquaintance of a dear man who has performed at the White House, at the request of the President, and at other times before governors and mayors.
We are certainly nothing special, and feel tremendously blessed that this man has agreed to travel to our home and begin to teach our son the piano. He is a kind man, and seems to be a very astute, detailed teacher.
We have high hopes for Gentry's musical abilities, and are praying that God multiplies his talent and interest in this area. It would also be a nice addition, at some point in the future, to our family devotional time.
Do you have a child that plays an instrument? At what age did he/she begin lessons?
Warmly,

- Perfect for a mama that enjoy a cup or two of tea in the morning! Pair a package of these tea filters with a small container of loose tea and you have a beautiful, inexpensive gift. (under $10)
- Great for setting large pots and pans aside to dry, and folds up for easy storage when not in use. Space-saving alternative to the traditional drying rack. (under $15)
- This may not get used very often, but it is very handy when I do need it! You may even want to pair it with some cherry jam or cherry printed hand towel. (under $15)
- If you feel like a gift of gourmet salt isn't enough, you may also want to consider a beautiful 
. (under $10)
- If you are having a hard time breaking free from fake non-stick sprays like Pam, you will love this Olive Oil Sprayer. Maybe pair it with a small bottle of olive oil as a gift? (under $10)
- Doesn't everyone LOVE real maple syrup? I cringe every time I have to buy it, though... what a great gift this would make! (under $25)
- You can leave these sitting in the pan and they won't melt! (under $20)
- I like this one for its moderate price point and its versatility. A dutch oven is great for making a variety of dishes, from stews and soups to larger pieces of meat. I even bake bread in mine occasionally. (under $40)
- Fantastic for storing grains, sugar, pasta, etc. Airtight, easy to open, and you can buy just one, a small set, or a large set. You decide! (prices vary from $10 and up)
