Jace's new baby... (grand)

It's been a dream of my very talented, musical SIL to have her very own baby grand piano. So when the opportunity arose and a friend of a relative was giving one away for FREE, she was overwhelmed with joy. The joke in the family now is that it's Jace's new baby. My mom-in-law hired a man to tune the piano, but that it!

Below is the process of moving the baby grand in. I am proud to say that even though I was the smallest one, it was my legs that pushed the piano out of the trunk. I'm sure a lot had to do with the angle of the push and the fact that Aaron's cousin Baba stood behind me to give me something to push against.
Elise and Elijah immersed themselves in the task of polishing the wood. They did a fine job!

They polished every surface...
and then we attached the legs to the piano.

Here's the brawn. Aaron and his good friend, Gavin and cousin, Baba (in the yellow shirt), Aaron's dad, Jace and me all flipped the baby over. (Aaron and Gavin just finished playing some basketball.)

And the finished product!

We are now blessed by the musical talents of Jace and Aaron quite often. Aaron, has a beautiful voice and Jace plays jazz, classical, contemporary - you name it. She's a gifted improv artist and sight reads music really well.
