Violin Lesson 1

Guess who's dipping their mud-caked fingernails into violin lessons? I know, I know...as unbelievable as it may sound...we are tearing Hugh...along with his pal Miles away from building, fixing and general machining once a week for 30 minutes to study the violin.
"But he's only 3!" David said.
"He doesn't even know what a violin is!" David said
"I think we're making a mistake!" David said

David may be right...he often is....but come along with me for one second and look how cute these mud-caked-fingernail-machine-loving hands are holding the tiniest, most delicate and beautiful instrument.Heartbreaking, isn't it.
We hope you will enjoy our weekly lessons as we follow Hugh and Miles on their path to squeaky strings and violin dreams.xo

I

With the letter I we:
Ignored the Icky weather outside and used our Imaginations Inside. We built an Island where the natives only eat Ice cream and never suffer from Indigestion. And on our Imagination Island we Included Hugh's nursery school friend, Ivan who we are sure would enjoy climbing the palm trees.Invented a new technique for building Igloos out of Ice using only our mouths. Actually this was Hugh's approach, we preferred the old fashioned hand building style.And lastly with the letter I, we tried desperately to create a lower case i using our bodies...but like most of my Ideas, it didn't go exactly as planned...our 'dot' was a little wiggly!Innuulluarit I {translates to: Goodbye I...in Inuit}

H

H is for:
A Handmade H game especially for Hugh {thank you La-La}HopscotchHank's Heartfelt Hugs Hot dogHorn HonkingAnd lastly, H is for Hands Holding.I fear I may have committed a major civic sin as we live in Canada and did not include: H is for Hockey. With two boys feeling tired and Hazy, we met our adventures of the letter H with mellow content...that is to say, no Hockey.
Hugs & kisses H
