Film Friday

Lots of fun videos from our life.  Recorded milestones and short stories featuring our little family.

    Just in case you didn’t get enough of our camping trip, I also made a little video with clips from it.  I really cannot wait until next summer when we decide to take the plunge and get our own tent so we can be out in the woods on a regular basis.  There is almost…

    Film Friday: Conversations with Zara

    I promised some more videos of Zara, so here’s a little idea of what a conversation with her is like at 20 months.  This video was taken the last week of August, just before she stared going to “school.”   And for fun, here is a clip of Nora from around the same age.  🙂

  • Nora at 5

    Nora is 5!! We celebrated her birthday today with a party with friends.  The theme was Frozen, of course, because it is her favorite thing (like all pretty much every other five-year-old American girl) and I’ve given up fighting the Disney princess mania.  After her party, we took a few minutes to record her birthday…

    It has been a long time since I made a Film Friday video, but lately I’ve realized that I don’t have a ton of videos with Zara in them so I resolved to get back into the habit of recording little clips of our days.  This little video is from last week’s trip to the splash…

  • Film Friday: New Years Eve

    Film Friday: New Years Eve

    We had a blast New Years Eve with our friends and I decided to make a movie!  This is actually the first year that we did anything to celebrate New Years since, probably, college.  Chris usually works until 11:30 or so on New Years Eve and gets home just in time to watch the ball…

    Film Friday: Let it Snow

    Last Friday, we woke up to a blanket of fresh snow.  I had heard rumblings of expected snow mixed with rain in the days prior, but I’ll admit I thought that meant mostly rain with a few miniscule snowflakes mixed in — after all it was still September.  Little did I know that when northern…

  • Film Friday: “Yoga” With Two

    Film Friday: “Yoga” With Two

    We made a movie!  A simple one, but hey, something good enough to share for Film Friday, and that is pretty darn exciting. I enjoyed watching all of our old videos last week after we filmed Nora’s birthday interview and so I decided I might try to do an occasional Film Friday post again.  And,…

    Nora has been four for four days now.  We celebrated with our usual family breakfast of her choice before Chris went to work.  She chose the exact same thing as last year: cinnamon rolls and berries, which we ate picnic style on our deck. I made my pumpkin cinnamon rolls with applesauce instead of pumpkin…

    This ridiculously cute and adorable baby girl will be three months old tomorrow.  And, oh, does she melt my heart.  I don’t have any weight or length info to report because we’re still waiting on our insurance to be set up, but each day it seems Zara gets a little chubbier and I think I could…

    I’m sneaking in a post this morning, and it’s a Film Friday post!  I haven’t made a video for a long time, mostly because I haven’t been shooting a lot of footage because it’s hard to do since I don’t actually have a video camera.  Everything I take is recorded with my DSLR or laptop,…

    Film Friday: A Dinner Conversation

    I was going through some videos from this summer and I found this clip from one of my dinner table conversations with Nora.  We were talking about being a grown up when I decided to get out the camera (hence the “I told you already!” when I asked her what she would do as a…

    I’m posting! It might be about a week late and it might be 3 in the morning, but I am doing it and I’m going to pretend that’s all that matters…especially because I’m posting a Film Friday video. (Remember Film Friday? I used to be so good about that.) Anyway I’m taking five quick minutes…
