Our blog is very kid-centric, which would make sense to the kids themselves who believe the world does in fact revolve around them. But we exist too! And occasionally we even have interesting things happen in our lives. For instance, on Super Tuesday Rob had the opportunity to provide the election night commentary on our local ABC affiliate. Haley and Jake were SO excited to see their daddy on TV, and it led to some interesting questions from Haley:
"What color will he be? Like, will he be normal, or look like those pictures?" (Pointing to the black and white photos on the wall.)
"Is that really our daddy or did they make him?" (We've been discussing cartoons versus reality recently.)
"Where is that room he's in? I want to go to that room!"
Click below to watch him, you might have to click twice. It's kind of long (they had several clips throughout the evening and a follow-up the next day), but his mom would not be happy with me if I didn't post it all!
HE'S OUR GUITAR HEROBesides the kids and I, Rob counts as his most precious possessions his revolving collection of guitars. The Taylor 614 CE; Taylor 555 (12-string); Taylor T5 (electric/acoustic hybrid); Fender Mustang; Paul Reed Smith Soapbar SE; and his old Washburn D68 SW. That's the current inventory, not counting a few thrift-shop finds and the children's own guitars. The amps, PA, and recording gear are a whole other story. He loves to find old gear at pawn shops and thrift stores, which he sells on E-bay to feed his habit. When he's not busy shopping for or trading guitars, he blesses us with his musical talents. Haley and Jake love to sing and dance with him, getting us closer and closer to Rob's vision of us as a 21st-century Partridge Family.
