Lexi has been taking piano lessons from her Dad for the last few weeks using a digital keyboard and a wonderful Christian piano course we ordered. It was time for her to move on to a true piano keyboard so, this last week we purchased a digital piano with weighted keys. It is so nice having a piano in our home and listening to my husband play and Lexi practice her lessons.
Devin has also begun learning how to play the guitar, something we were going to wait for awhile on but, Devin's piano lessons have been progressing nicely - he is picking things up pretty quickly. So, we made a decision to also let him have his own guitar, his instrument of choice. Ava Mae is not quiet old enough to start formal piano lessons, though she has enjoyed learning some basics, so right now when Devin and Lexi are practicing she plays the tambourine.

I was happy to discover your A Day in the Life of a Homeschool Family blog today. I was unable to find an email link in your profile. I hope it's OK that I'm contacting you through a public comment. I've developed an educational program for Windows called SpellQuizzer that helps children learn their spelling words without the battle that parents often have getting them to sit down and write them out while the parents dictate to them. The parent enters the child's spelling words into the software making a sound recording of each word. Then the software helps the child practice his or her their words. It really helped my children with their weekly spelling lists.
I would appreciate your reviewing SpellQuizzer in A Day in the Life of a Homeschool Family. You can learn more about the program at http://www.SpellQuizzer.com. There's a video demo you can watch at http://www.spellquizzer.com/SpellQuizzer-Demo.htm. Finally, there's a page targeted to homeschooling families at http://www.spellquizzer.com/spelling-software-for-homeschoolers.htm. I'd be happy to send you a complimentary license for the software. Please let me know if you are interested.
Thank you very much!
