silly milligans



It's a singing party! Leannora loves this spot on the stairway for singing. It has just the right echoing sound. She invites everyone to take turns using "singing books." Leannora's idea is that the children have special books to use off the piano. I think if you are an adult you are supposed to use the bigger hymnals. Nikao just likes to make lots of noise and he is not particular about which book he uses. Here he is using an I Spy book. I imagine this is much to Leannora's dismay. Usually Leannora's singing party is made up of various soloists. Each person must take a turn standing on the 2nd or 3rd step from the landing (for best accoustics) and the audience should be seated on chairs at the bottom of the stairway. Here I think Hogan must have done a firstborn convincing job on the value of a choir. Hogan used to call the hymnals "singnohs."

Children are such a wonderful blessing.



Home is a wonderful place.
