So late one February evening – we pulled out Rockband – James on vocals, Aaron on drums, Peter on guitar and Maria on bass. This is one of those moments that I really appreciated that we live in a house, rather than an apartment. I’m telling you, if we were still sharing walls – the neighbors would have come a knocking… To access the video, just click on the white bar in the video window below, type in the password (found in the blue box) and click enter.

Happy Birthday Joey! Recently we celebrated Joe’s 30th birthday. Aaron and I and Mom and Dad went in together on, you guessed it, Play Station 2 and Guitar Hero as our gift for him. We’ve even got Amy playing it now. Above is Joe practicing (while Amy and Aaron play) using Justin as his guitar. As soon as Justin figures out he controls his own hands, I’m sure we’ll get him to play too…

At a recent visit with Aaron’s family, we introduced Guitar Hero to Molly, Emily and Andrew. It must run in the family because they all loved it as much as Aaron does. Even Josh gave it a shot. Click on the image above to see the new photos I’ve added to the Guitar Hero Folder in the Gallery.

I recently bought Aaron Guitar Hero, a Play Station 2 game he had been telling me about for months. It’s a music – video game in which you use a guitar controller to “play” along with specific songs, as if you were performing at a concert. He loves it. We recently brought the game to Amy and Joe’s house, and now Joe loves it too. Aaron has just ordered a second guitar controller so the two of them can play together. The game’s not really my thing, but I do enjoy watching them play – as you can probably tell from the photos above, it’s pretty damn funny just to watch.
