over the weekend

this past weekend we made a trip to see uncle tim and aunt emily for some help on music.  

we always get more than that.

their house is one where you feel at home as soon as you walk in the door.  it's one of those places that is so cozy, you instantly want to curl up with a book on the couch and you don't feel bad 

for making yourself right at home - you really can't help it.

there are only a few places like that for me 

and the cannon house is definitely one of them.

it's a good place to play hide and seek, a 

good place to explore anything from nooks and crannies, to weapons, 

plato, socrates, fantasy maps and closets..uncle tim has a whole closet shelf dedicated to his favorite movies.  he sat on the floor in the middle of shoes and low hanging shirts

and helped us pick one.

watching movies with U.T is definitely a favorite past time now. 

we now also know how to tie a tie, 

do a military tuck 

{and what it speaks of a man who takes the trouble to do it before he goes out}

what the cabaret singers were 

{before they were too scandelous}

and how titus was baptized in the cold cold waters of a winter pond.

he didn't like it.

 aunt em's super yummy breakfast...she made amazing food the whole time

and every meal we had music and candles...PLUS they were on their second round of the twelve days of 

christmas.  yesss! 

{titus and the pond}

his story telling is worth the whole trip.

i love pandora, but i'm not going to pay for it.  

therefore, commercials.

and they scare the thunder out of  me every time

there  i am cruising through some brian crain and then

BAM!.......that woman's voice is so loud.

here, while you're here,

 listen to some beautiful music 

and this too
