Our Little Drummer Boy

So I get home from work tonight....and THIS is what I find set up in our kitchen:


This story actually begins almost two years, when my Grandpa Ekern bought Finnegan a drum set for Christmas. It was so cute this gift. And I'll never forget hearing my Grandpa whisper to Finn as we left the room..."I probably won't be here to see you playing these, but I'll be listening."
.
Well Grandpa! These beats are for you! I know you're listening.

Ahh..so cute. And admittedly I am sitting here tearing up...seeing Grandpa and remembering how lucky we were to have such amazing Grandparents.

I don't even know these people....and I've never even met Finn and I have tears in my eyes! What a great post. And I think I need to fix the whole never meeting Finn thing. Next time you guys are up here, I'm comin' over!
