NEW GRATITUDE

I am grateful that I have a new gym to go to! It has so many pieces of equipment I have never seen before it is like Christmas walking around an dreading how to use the stuff and the trying to figure it out! I love new things like that! It is so huge and brand spanking new! This new club is a super sport and usually you have to sign up with n upgraded membership but since I signed up at the original "dumpy" gym I get to go to this fancy one! It even has towel service! It is well worth the 25 minute drive every morning at "way tooo early am!"

I am grateful for my children being able to take piano lessons close to our house at a price we can afford! They take from a 17 year girl in our ward for $10 per lesson per kid and they are doing so well! She has a very strict and accomplished teacher so she teaches really well. She has them doing Theory, scales and she has even given them Christmas songs to play too along with their lesson books. TI think they haul around like 8 books between the 2 of them ( Leavi and Jaydn so far) The kids are doing all of their practicing without me even asking because they enjoy it and WANT to learn! In fact, as I write Jaydn is playing his Clarinet, Leavi on the piano and Kole on his(Danika's) saxophone...he is getting better BTW Danika thanks for working with him for a few minutes he is trying to tuck in his lower lip and he sounds s smidge better:) I have dreams that one day this home will be filled with beautiful music! It is now but just "Kid" beautiful ha ha! I think by next Christmas maybe I will have a piano player that can sit and play Christmas songs while we all sing...I CAN'T wait! A big thanks to Grandma Grossnickle and Quincy for a bit...for giving my kids a base to work with, it is a strong foundation and now they are taking off wiht it!
