Hamlin House of Music

Most weekends, we get together with the Anderson's to play music, eat food and generally enjoy each other's company. The kids go off enjoy their own sort of fun - music, games, dress up, Nerf, Legos or shows.

A couple of weeks ago, I found I was really enjoying taking pictures as the evening passed. (By the way, I love the look on Hannah's face above. It definitely matches the depth and soul of her voice.)

So this is all of us. Just doing what we do.

I am glad I took the time to document our evening. I love the way they turned out.

I even took a self portrait.

The last one is just the clutter that finds itself on our counter. Shiny clutter in the beautiful light in our kitchen.

Goodnight.

A Great Day for Washers

Yesterday the weather was gorgeous, with perfect light!

So we played washers as a family.

Maebelle has great form!

Above: Maebelle is hoping Zac's shot will go in. I believe this one was one of the few bullseyes of the game. : )

I love that above I caught both Orion throwing and Maebelle dropping the washers she was holding.

By this point in the game, the score was close. Orion and I had been in the lead the entire game. But Maebelle and Zac were catching back up.

Maebelle puts on her game face, which includes this cute little mouth thing. You can see it above as well, in the second picture. I love it!

She scores big:

That put them at 21. I tried one more shot, and came close, but close was not enough. They won 21 to 17. : (

Orion was a good sport about it.

The winners! In a pretzel!

Here's to  more warm, sunny days and yard games!
