It's never very quiet for very long at our house... Our standard joke is, that on a quiet evening you can probably hear the Ochoa Home no matter where you live in Cedar Falls! We are just a loud family...
One of the better "noises" that you will hear from our house is - thankfully - music! Piano, flute, violin, singing, percussion, guitar, the computer - and SOMETIMES we are practicing/playing ALL of the above at the same time - but NOT on the same song. THAT is quite a "Holy Hubub" of sound! But I absolutely LOVE it...
I am SO grateful that our kids ended up - all of them - learning how to make music on their own and with others. I am glad that they are starting to understand the true GIFT and BLESSING that it is - for a lifetime...
I had the gracious experience of playing for Lydia and Joel yesterday at the Lincoln Talent Show on the last day of school. Not many Dad's get asked to do this with their kids. These are the kind of moments that are SO valuable - and I know by now that they actually become even MORE valuable as time goes on...
So, I wanted to post these 2 videos (Thx Martha!) to have them on here for posterity - and to gush over how freaking talented and awesome my kids are...!!
Lyidia is singing an Allison Kraus song called "Evermore" and Joel is singing a fun tune called "(Don't Give Me That) Brocolli" - both are on kid's albums compiled and written by author Sandra Boynton.
Enjoy!!
