the hills are alive with the sound of music

Oh, how I've waited (10 years) to finally have one of my own and to fill my home with the sound of music.I cried when they delivered it. Sometimes I like to just sit and stare at it.

CONGRATULATIONS! That is so exciting!
So jealous, but in the I'm happy for you way.

btw, where are you in Texas? We live in the Dallas area. Let me know if your close. I know Texas is ginormous, but Mormondom is so small.

Abbie said...

Houston and Dallas are about 4-5 hours away. Darn. But if you ever come up North, it would be fun to see you and your cute family. We might take a road trip down there when Lesley Larsen has her baby in Oct.

Are you close to the Larsens and Bernards? I know they are in Houston.

Oh Mary! You lucky duck! I don't play, but I know that when you buy a piano, it means you're really settling down.It must feel nice to have some roots!(It's just too bad those roots are in Texas and not Cali!)

Bee-yooo-tiful!

I've been meaning to ask, where do you live in Texas? My younger sister, Elizabeth, lives in the Houston 'burbs.

Abby said...

BEAUTIFUL! It looks like the one I grew up playing, which was a Yamaha. What kind is it? So exciting! We have a pretty nice digital right now...but it's still just that -- digital.

Rebecca said...

Do your kids play? How fun is that! At one time I had five pianos in my house--can you believe it?

Congrats! Is it a Yamaha?

Oh, I'm so excited for you!!! I understand wanting a piano so bad. I don't have one and I'm so anxious for the day when I'll get one. I feel like part of me is missing without a piano to play. I know you'll have so much FUN! Play your heart out for me!

Tiff said...

Shut. UP!

*jealous*

Mary Beth said...

It IS a Yamaha.

My kids don't play-- YET. Ethan thinks he does and loves to sit and play it while he sings various songs of his own composition. We'll get going on those lessons as soon as the back to school thing settles a bit...

Gorgeous! I actually just picked up your families old piano bench from Lance's house. I inherited my Grandma Carlson's piano, but the bench was in really bad shape, so now I have Grandma Lehnhof's bench to go with it. Let's go play the piano to our hearts content!

Britt said...

Congrats. You sure earned that *bonus* money will all those dishes and clothes you washed by hand! Well worth it now though, eh?

The Carroll's said...

WOW!! It is absolutely beautiful Mary! Have a great time playing!

Kristin said...
