uncle dan introduced me to a real set of drums. these were way better than the wooden spoon and bowls i've been playing at home.
i'm also getting pretty good at playing auntie erin's casio pt-80 electronic musical instrument

better late than never, right?



spent easter weekend getting reacquainted with uncle aaron and auntie ange
