Grayson's Song

Grayson


Skylar and Zoe


Zoe


The Atlanta Hagewoods were here for a visit this past weekend and we had a lot of fun. Saturday morning Grayson, Skylar and Zoe Grace all took turns playing the synthesizer and drums in my studio. Later, Grayson got pretty serious and asked me if we could record him playing a song he had written. We had fun laying down tracks. After a few takes, I asked him to try and play along with a "click track" (metronome) which he had never done....and he DID GREAT! Then he asked me if I could put drums to this song, which I promised him I would.

So, the widget below has two versions of Grayson's Song....one of just him alone, and one with the drums I have added for him. Click on the little speaker icon to hear them play!

Now We're Cookin!!

Yes, it is official. The Hagewood's now own a grill! Happy Father's Day, John! We love you! We just now had our first "real" grill installed, so now our back yard REALLY looks like someone lives here! Swingset, grill ... yup, we are definitely gonna stay in this house for a while!

Swingset Day

6 weeks ago we finally bought a Rainbow Play System for the backyard. Today it arrived. The poor delivery and setup man labored for 8 hours in the 90+ degree sun, and finished just in time for me to go get the kids at school, and bring them home to their surprise.

Jonathan got a peek of it from the car as we were pulling into the driveway, and got pretty excited. Then as we came out the back door, they both squealed with sheer delight and ran to go swing, slide, climb and explore.

After a while they wanted to play in the water (temperature was still in the 80's), but after splashing around in the driveway for a bit and getting cooled off, they were back at the swingset again. I finally managed to convince them to come in, dry off and have dinner about 8pm!

Here is a funny video of Jonathan teaching Kathryn how to swing on her belly!
