Hamilton Happenings

I offer here a very incomplete pictorial update of our crazy Hamilton...


Alex bought this basketball hoop for Hamilton while we were in Utah...that's how much he missed the little guy :).  The morning after Hamilton first got to play with it, his first words were "Basketball! Basketball!"  Here he is in the middle of a shirts-skins game.  Notice that his form is looking pretty awesome.  Here we go Tar Heels?


Hamilton loves horses.  He's enjoying a ride on his Aunt Tracey's horse here...we were killing time at 6:30 am while the rest of the house slept on.  He has also ridden a real horse (for about 1.4 seconds) and his younger cousin Miles.  Oh, and I chose this particular picture to show Hamilton's new "Cheese!" camera smile.

Hamilton's best friends are his dad, his Grandpa Kent, and his Grandpa Phillip (pictured here).  I am swiftly abandoned when any of them are around.

Hamilton is crazy about the ocean...even when there are scary, intense waves.  A top 10 day of his life was when Uncle Travis dug a hole in the sand to catch the water.  Serious temper tantrum when we had to leave.

Hamilton and his cousin have a love-hate relationship.  They love each other but hate sharing.  Here they are, though, having a great time sharing Alex.
