Ode to Joy

 

Here is our oldest son (aka the Pied Piper) rocking his “black-belt” recorder test. If you do not know what a recorder is, let me explain: it’s this skinny plastic tube that makes unbearable noise early in the morning after you hear, “Dang it! I forgot to practice ‘Amazing Grace’!” B and I are singing our own ‘Ode to Joy’ now that his training is complete.
