Piano Studio

Christopher and Grandma

When we were planning a trip to Spokane the most important stop we made was to the Steinway Piano Studio.

Moriah

I never knew piano's could cost so much.  $90,000 was pretty average!

So they all had a great time playing fancy grand pianos.

Sunday company

We often have a house full of company on Sundays.  One sunday Charity was coming over for dinner and she made ice cream for dessert.  Well I couldn't think of what to make for dinner so we decided to just have ice cream for dinner.  It was so good and so simple, we decided to make a tradition of it.

Our home

Some of these are older pictures.  Our house and property has looked pretty much the same though for years.  We've lived here now over 20 yrs.  I couldn't be happier, I love my home.  It's a dream home on 5 acres.  We remodeled the kitchen about 6 yrs or so ago.  This year we re-did the family room.   We are always updating.

This is our new couch while still at Costco.  Tony and Gareth are modeling it for us.

We are planning to build a built in book case here.
