\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>A few weeks ago we had almost the whole family together and the cousins were having a ball playing together.\u00a0 They range from 18 to 4 years old, but that doesn’t matter when you are family.\u00a0 This is especially true when we don’t get to see each other often.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 The occasion was the high school graduation of our oldest grand-daughter.\u00a0 We all met at my daughter’s house in Columbus, OH.\u00a0 The cousins started out with supper soaker war and slip and slide activities.\u00a0 By mid -day they were mellowing a bit, so Courtney got out her ukulele and started to play.\u00a0 She really is quite good and sings as well.\u00a0 Courtney also plays keyboard, acoustic guitar, and\u00a0electric guitar.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The four year old twins were using fake guitars from a WII game and my five year old grand-daughter has the microphone.\u00a0 Quite the group…..\u00a0 perhaps there is a future for them.\u00a0 Maybe American Idol or America’s Got Talent???\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Whether they ever sing in public or not, they sure are cute, and they had so much fun.\u00a0 All great musical groups have to start somewhere, so who knows where this team will go?\u00a0 I’m sure the little ones need to grow up a little more and get some real instruments.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If this is God’s plan for them, we will let Him unwrap it in His good time. After all, His timing is perfect and His motives are pure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
