J's Swimming Videos

Well, I finally got some of my videos loaded.  I had to try a different route but this is as good as it gets for now!  There is one more that I will share with more pictures later. 
Enjoy!

Flipping

K started turning flips in the last week.  I had flipped her a few times one day and the next day she did it on her own.  She is so smart!  At least we think so!

Big Talker

The kids were talking to each other at the dinner table tonight and continued later.  The look on K's face was so funny!  She has been saying "di di" for a lot of things but she just started doing this yesterday.  The video is kind of long but I was trying to see what else she would do.  She loves J and when I finished filming she started chasing him around the room.  Those two are so great together!

You will have to turn the music off at the bottom of the page to hear the video.

Photo Shoot and Stars

Mom and I took K and J to Sears today to have pictures made.  I am only about a month behind with having K's pictures done but we did it and they turned out pretty good.  She was not a fan of the girl behind the camera and it took FOREVER!  However, the great thing about going to Sears is you get a ton of pictures and a copy of them on a c.d. for a fairly low price.  So, me and my savvy computer-minded self made a little silent film for you to watch.  That's right...silent...I'm not so savvy that I have music downloaded to my computer. 

We were leaving Mom and Dad's tonight and J looked up at the sky.  Guess what he saw?  Stars.  He was amazed!  It was like he hadn't seen them before.  Last week we felt like we might never see stars again.  But God has blessed us with a beautiful cloudless night.  Isn't He awesome?


Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven,
Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.

Hooray!  I can post a video.  I did these on my phone so they are kind of blurry but my children are SO talented!  Just try and figure out what J is saying in parts of his songs and in between.  He had a blow pop that he was not going to put down.  That kid is something else!
