One new baby arrived last week and another new baby arrived on Tuesday evening.
Baby #1: Zander was born to my nephew (by marriage) and his wife. This marks the beginning of a new generation for our family. Now that there are four generations, I realize that I am inching closer to the generation that is "on the clock" when it comes to additional life expectancy.
Baby #2: The grand piano arrived at church on Tuesday evening. This arrival was made possible by several donations, including a fairly significant donation in memory of my mother. I felt somewhat responsible, as I was the one that convinced our pastor that our parish really needed a "real" piano, rather than one of those electronic gizmos. So, I attended Mass on Thanksgiving Day to make sure I could hear the new baby. Our music director is a very skilled pianist (M.A. in Piano Performance). The difference is simply amazing. One can now enjoy dynamics and expression coming from the keyboard. No longer is there some type of electronic sound being piped through the amplification system.
