You Tube Links

It was just brought to my attention that the You Tube links I had given you guys in the previous posts were not accessible. I had the videos set on "private" which you can't look at unless you are logged in. I reset them to "unlisted" (you can see them if you are sent the link, but it cannot be found from a You Tube search, nor will it show up anywhere on YT) so you should be able to see the videos now. Sorry about that! Hope you enjoy them. :)

Dancing, James the Train

Two short vids here. Gabe is dancing to Billy Idol in what can only be described as the Fist Bumping Shuffle or something. The other is him showcasing James the train. I noticed he was licking James the train; he was pretending to paint him...don't be alarmed, lol.

Video Update: Thursday

Once a week, or maybe or twice a month, we're going to start doing video updates. This is what the kiddos and I are up to today...nothing terribly earth-shattering. :)

Click here to see it.

I think I am much better at writing than filmmaking, lol. We'll try to do another this weekend with Craig.

BTW, I tried uploading the vid to Blogger and it was taking like over an hour! Since I already had a You Tube account, I thought I would just use that. Took like 15 minutes to load onto You Tube. Another reason to convert this blog to Wordpress.

Spring is near!

Sorry it has been so long since I've posted (especially for those of you who are not on Facebook, where I post info/pics regularly). It's just about Spring, right? We have quite a bit going on, most specifically preparing for our first plane trip as a family to Philadelphia in early April…eeeek!

Traveling with little kiddos=High possibility of stress hormones going out of control.

I've been talking to all of our friends who have traveled with little ones, taking in all the advice that I can. I'm trying not get all dramatic about it. I'm grateful that at least I do not have to do a continental flight (one of my friends has in-laws in India). We're making preparations, making sure we have all the things the boys will need to stay occupied. Wish us luck!

So, the main goal of the Philly trip is to see my Grandpa so he can meet his millionth great-grands, lol. We've talked to him a few times over iChat on my mom's computer and he really wants to see Gabe and Zach in person. Gabe already met Craig's Grandma in 2010, so it's nice that he will get to meet another of his great-grandparents. Unfortunately, I never got to meet mine, so I am happy he will have pics and maybe some memories of it (poor Zach won't remember a thing).

This year other trips will include some small vacations, possibly another trip to see Craig's grandma, and maybe other family in Washington State. Haven't solidified plans yet, though. I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying life the best way you know how. We don't talk to many of you much, but we love you all! :)

Here some recent pics of the boys and us:
