I grew up in a very musical family. I didn't say a talented...just musical. Ha! Actually my dad has a degree in music and my brother is a gifted singer. I "got by" with vocal as my talent in pageants, but that is the extent of it. What we lack in training we make up for in spirit! It's not unusual for us to bust out in song during a family drive. In fact, the first time Eric met my parents we took a two hour trip to Cincinnati and serenaded him with our family quartet version of the Gaither Vocal Band....I kid you not! We were rockin' some hymns. I sing to Eli every night, and he hums along which is just oh, so sweet. So, when we decided a few weeks ago to head to Disney World this summer I wanted to find him a sing-a-long to watch. Apparently kids these days don't appreciate music like we did. So, I had to resort to youtube. As luck would have it, I came across my first Disney Sing-A-Long video. Of course I eagerly introduced him to it. I guess he takes after his momma because he was clapping his hands right along with the music. He LOVES it so much that we watched it three times yesterday! Poor guy has to watch a youtube version of a 1990 made video. He's not upset though. He walks around saying, "I do dis. Momma, I dis." I'm pretty sure it's translated to "Momma, I want to go to Disney!!" BE STILL MY HEART! And while "It's a Small World" is getting a little old, the 30 minutes it gave me today to clean up before going to the Adkins' House for dinner was wonderful. Speaking of the Adkins', here is a look at our wonderful evening. As for the Sing-A-Long, Eric is tolerating a house full musical zest. And although he probably won't be joining the chorus, he is a good daddy and found Eli a DVD version on the internet! It'll be in his Easter Basket...shh!
Happy 2020, everyone! I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal! Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three! Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work. Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later. Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week. Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt
