JoJo

This incident is actually a few weeks old, but since my camera is on it's deathbed, I have no new pictures to add. I'm pretty sure all my kids have been caught unrolling the tp at one point in their toddler years. It's pretty funny everytime.

JoJo is...let me count...14 months old now. The older kids love playing with him and he's so good natured. He wrestles when they wrestle, he runs when they run, he dances when they dance and if they ever play a little too rough and crazy, he has the good sense to just stand back and watch.

Speaking of dancing...the Neal family has had dance fever and it's not going away anytime soon. Jeff and I have been adding to our music collection (thanks to the library) and we are all lovin' the new tunes. While the kids were in the bath last night we listened to some old Depeche Mode. Remember those guys? I just picked up a couple of Janet Jackson CD's from the library yesterday. Can't wait to bring back the memories.

Oh, I almost forgot the most exciting news of the week! No, I'm not pregnant...I swear that's what everyone asks whenever I have good news. I wonder why? No...we got a free piano! I'm a huge fan of craigslist and I check it all the time. So when I finally convinced Jeff that it'll be almost a decade before we can afford the $3000 Yamaha piano that he wants, he defeatedly gave in to a $0 no-namer on craigslist. Jeff got a U-haul and brought it home himself. So the actual cost was a little over $20. Not bad! Plus, the piano works great, looks nice and fits perfectly in our house. If my camera is willing, I'll try to get a few shots of it with the kids playing. Jeff and I are working out our rusty fingers, playing scales and we're teaching the kids the basics. Leanna is very excited to learn and realistically we should find someone locally to teach her. This is all very exciting and I hope we can eventually appreciate some Mozart or Chopin in the near future. If not from our piano, then maybe from our library collection.
