Miss. Steinway

A number of months ago, our elderly next door neighbor never came home from a long stay at the hospital. As they were going through her things, we found out she had a Steinway in her home that was from the 1920s. We threw our name in the ring .... they were fire sale-ing that baby -- and we won her. We love that it's mere feet away from where it's been happily residing for over 40 years and even happier that now the kids can learn!

In fact, here is Abby faking it with her "sheet music" -- it's either blank pages or princess coloring book pages, depending on the mood!

Sometimes, it turns into an entire show if you are able to catch her...

And other days, it looks like she's been playing for years.  Already, Miss. Steinway (it's definitely female!) has graced us with hours of happiness. It's time for Papa to come teach us all a few things!
