Jack has become quite the little musician. Jack sings all day long. He has recently started to makes up his own songs lyrics, which always keep us laughing! It is rare these days to find Jack without a guitar or ukulele in hand. His love of the guitar first started last Christmas when Maddy and Poppy gave him his very first one. We will never forget last Christmas in Vermont when Jack walked around EVERYWHERE with his guitar, refusing to let go of it. Since then, Jack's love of music has continued to grow and grow. The picture of Jack above was taken this week. I was in the middle of making dinner when Jack headed outside with a guitar in one hand and his ukulele in the other. He headed straight for the stone wall on the side of our house to sit and make music. Half way through making dinner I heard Jack yell, "Rock and roll!" as loud as he could followed by a big laugh. He kept doing this over and over again while strumming his little ukulele. Poppy taught Jack this expression last week during his visit (!!!!) and it has quickly become one of Jack's favorite sayings. I definitely think we have a future singer/songwriter/guitar player on our hands. Rock & roll, Jack.

That Poppy !!!
I have never-ever seen a child take to something more than Jack did at (12 months old) to the child's guitar last January. It was unbelievable and I'm glad that we have the photos to remember it because I have a feeling that we will be talking about that Christmas for quite some time to come!
Since then, every time we have seen Jack, either in Maine or at our home, Jack always has a guitar or ukulele with him strumming away. Poppy sure does enjoy "jamming" away with Jack. As a true oldies aficionado, Poppy is quite the singer. He remembers the lyrics, the singers, and the year of songs from the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Poppy just couldn't help but sing "Rock 'N' Roll Is Here To Stay" by Danny & the Juniors, recorded in 1958 with Jack last week!! That's where the "Rock and Roll" came from! That Poppy!!!
It's just a 'natural-kind-of-thing' between Poppy and Jack! Jack shows tremendous musical talent. I know without a doubt that Jack will always be spreading his musical talent to an audience ... and Poppy + I will be there cheering in the front row!
We Love You, Our Jack-a-roo,
Maddy
