The Hiiiiilllls are Alive....

The kids are obsessed with watching The Sound of Music (yes!! parenting win for me!!), and so I could not resist tracking down the original soundtrack. So fun to be able to listen to the music in the car or the house and hearing Eli singing 'Do-Re-Mi' is pretty much the cutest.thing.ever. We the parents enjoy listening to it too (rock on, Julie Andrews) and I gotta say it is a very cool thing introducing the kids to classic quality musicals that I just adore (big musical fan!) and have them totally get into them. Ah, the satisfying moments of parenthood, lol!

Of course we had to have a little family dance party to the new soundtrack... it was pretty much impossible to get shots that were not a blur of whirling Lily (my camera can't seem to handle movement at night) but I got a few images that captured the musical tones of the evening...



Twirling with Daddy - blurry yet magical...

Earnest singing of 'So long, farewell' complete with peeking out to say 'Cuckoo!'

This boy needs another hair cut!

Very sweet and somber rendition of 'Edelveiss' - too precious for words!

  1. This is so funny! I knew you guys must have been watching/listening to this, Lily was singing an assortment of SOM tunes the last time I saw her! I actually really like the blurry twirling photo. It gives a good sense of movement.
