Now we own 4 horns! Look at them all nestled together on the practice room bed. 
Some of the first few notes ever played on the new horn: Sunday, September 27, 2009
a new addition to the family!
Gotcha! This is not the kind of addition that takes 9 months to grow. The gestational waiting period for this new French horn was about 4 years and three months. You see, this incredibly talented horn maker in Chicago, Steve Lewis, has a waiting list for him to make you a horn. When Brian put the deposit down to get his name on the waiting list over 4 years ago, Lewis said it would take about 2 years until his horn was ready. Good thing we weren't holding our breath. Luckily, a Lewis came up for sale on the internet (a rarity) a few months later and Brian bought that and has been playing on it ever since...until this week! The new Lewis has arrived.

Hi Madelyn, I stumbled upon your blog in my "friends and family" folder and was delighted by your funny observations and articulate accounts of life. The grocery store observations were good for a laugh. I remember coming to St. Louis and being incredulous that someone could actually build a chain of stores called "Schnucks". Congrats on the new horn. BTW my daughter had a baby today!
How does Brian like the horn?
You DID get me! Congrats on your newest addition!
Awwwww, look at all your amazing instruments, sitting so neatly in a row, quiet until asked to perform, not making a mess. *sigh* don't you wish the kids would do this? :)
Congratulations on your new addition! Brian looks THRILLED!
Nice! They look great! And how cool to have it made just for you (or Brian as the case is).
