the hills are alive with the sound of.....pickin' 'n grinnin'

Brian and Blake blessed us with a visit today after taking Lara to the airport so she could head for a conference in Chicago.  We enjoyed some delicious pizza while Blake played with some toys and watched us intently, probably wondering when he was going to get to begin enjoying this cheesy goodness.

Then we settled down for some carpet-level explorations.......

                                            and kazoo lessons.........

that little darlin' is one 'quick study'

                            .......then they got all acoustic on us.......

........paying such close attention.......

                        ......you've heard it said that some folks really
                                       'get into' their music?  Well........
