Rock band has taken over the family

This is how we usually spend our last hour before bed each night. (usually after Tommy goes to bed!)

Check this out. Tommy is 5 years old and looks to have a promising career on the drums. Just look at his little legs reaching for the pedal! Holy cow. Oh, and Michelle can lay down a mean guitar.

Michelle was born to rock. Just check out the snarl on that face!

Hi
