I think the thing I have started to "sink my teeth into" in the past 6 months or so is learning to play guitar. Shane learned to play when he was in grade school and whenever he had a chance to play someone else's guitar he would. Last year we were finally able to buy one for our family! Over the past few months we have enjoyed him accompanying us while we sing with our friends every week for house church.

One of the reasons we bought this particular guitar was because it has a smaller neck so that I could learn to play. Not because Shane was making me, but because I had expressed interest in learning how to play if we were to buy a guitar. 
It's really great for me to have Shane nearby to help me figure out how to position my fingers for the different cords and give me handy tips on how to play. A friend of mine is letting me borrow her set of three dvds that teach you how to play guitar while praising the Lord. I love it because it's all praise songs and the teacher encourages you to ask the Lord for help as you practice and enjoy the practice time as a time to worship the Lord.
I've not had a lot of time since Christmas to stick to a good practice schedule but just this past week I was trying a new song out that Shane had sitting on his desk.
I used to play the Hammered Dulcimer when I was grade school age and really liked it but always wanted to learn to play guitar to understand chords.
