Yet another musical instrument

I meant to have a photo tonight of Julius with his new winter hat; the one I was planning on finishing tonight that goes with the scarf I knit him last year. But that was not possible. I love 2x2 ribbing, however, I hate weaving in ends with 2x2 ribbing. So the hat is still not done.

Instead, I bring you a photo of Julius with his new trumpet...

Because that's exactly what this family needs...another musical instrument. Julius already has an acoustic guitar and a harmonica. I have an acoustic guitar, a recorder, and a harmonica. And then there are all of Michael's instruments - five electric guitars, one banjo, one lap steel guitar, three clarinets, two saxophones, one synthesizer, one recorder, one or two harmonicas, one accordion, and one flute.

I am emphatic in my refusal to allow bagpipes to cross our threshold. That is just too much!
