I have two goals for this year. The first goal is to be more calm - hence the "sunrise on a calm morning" photo. I am by nature a somewhat high strung intense kind of person. I can get worked up about little things and overreact. So my goal this year is to think before I act, react more slowly, and keep my voice calm (especially when interacting with my children). Here's to a new year of calmness.
My other goal for the new year is to learn to play 50+ hymns from our church hymnbook on our piano. Below is our "family" (read "Emily's") Christmas gift. I love it! It's a digital piano, so I can practice even when the babe is taking one of her short naps or all the rest of the crew is in bed. Right now I have picked one hymn for each week through June. I practice about 20 minutes a day and that seems to be more than enough to learn the one hymn and even move ahead each week. Here's to a new year of music!
AWESOME EMILY! Cheers to your two goals!

I'm feeling like maybe I should try to be less intense, too now, since everyone seems to be doing this goal. I'm excited to see your new piano and hear you rock out some hymns!
