Hi!
Well, back to practicing. Finally moved in and settled in our new and permanent house. It feels great. The baby is due June 11. I'm trying to play as much as I physically can until he comes. Then I plan to slowly and gradually get back into playing for good.

We've converted our downstairs living room into a living room/music room. I finally have all my music out and music equipment put where it needs to go. We have a piano and nice music stand for teaching lessons.

I've been in contact with Little London Winds. It sounds like there might be a spot for me in the Fall. The group rehearses on Monday nights and is made up of professional and amateur musicians. http://www.littlelondonwinds.org/default.htm
