Last month we got a beautiful piano! It sounds amazing. Bay has been practicing more these days for a contest he entered, and the house is filled with music every day. The Kawai is a huge upgrade from the electronic piano he used to play on. We love it!
I think it is pretty cool to have music as a part of the family. When we were little, my brother and I took organ lessons and our family had really amazing Yamaha D85 organ. (My parents still have it, but it’s broken) I’m really happy we got that exposure to the world of music. These days I enjoy playing my bass guitar and learning chords on my electric guitar. Koa has started band this year and is practicing percussion. Every evening there is music coming from all corners of our house! It’s so fun!

The other night Bay and I attended Engadget Live in downtown Austin. After that, we decided to walk across town to get some ramen. It was a Friday night so there were a lot of lights and activity on Sixth street. But it wasn’t really as crazy as it usually is. Still, it was fun walking downtown with my son!

Tonight we ate dinner at Noble Sandwich Co. (formerly Noble Pig) and it was delicious! I had the Short Rib Burger, Mariko got the Creole Catfish sandwich, Bay had the Thai Chicken sandwich and truffle fries, and Koa had the Roast Beef sandwich. It was all yummy! We really enjoyed the pickled veggie garnish as well. Highly recommended to visit either of the two locations! (We ate at the 620 location)
