Javin's Day

Yesterday, our grandson, Javin began formal piano lesson. He is quite excited and has a passion for music. His teacher is a wonderful Christian lady and her students love her. She is very involved in the music program of the local Christian School. He was eager to show her what he had already learned from his Uncle Scott's old piano book (with some coaching from me, grandma). His Great Grandma Jarboe (also a piano teacher) had given him an additional book which he has also worked in. His Aunt Pam, loaned the family her piano. So we are all prepared for an accomplished pianist! After his lesson, he proudly displayed the stickers on the five pages he had passed. 

After dropping off his sister to go to summer gymnastics, the rest of the day was spent on making tents (to fill up the whole living room), games of checkers and chess etc. This Grandma took a little nap after he left!
