First Snow of the Season

We woke up this morning to the first snow of the season. In St. Louis, it normally doesn’t snow and accumulate this early in the year, but we had the unexpected surprise today that put a nice exclamation mark on a great Thanksgiving week.

The week included some great visits with our very good friends (the Lubrano’s). They drove up from Baton Rouge to visit family and friends. Then Monta and Matt’s family stayed with us over Thanksgiving.

The best news of the week came on Friday when Jason and Meaghan got engaged. Congratulations to both of you! Melody and I are very happy for you.

Here’s a video I shot this morning of the snow. We put the Christmas decorations up just in time.

4th of July Celebration

We had a great time playing with fire on the 4th of July. Like last year, Matt and Jen hosted. His house isn’t really in a suburban neighborhood like mine, so fireworks off the back porch is acceptable as long as they aren’t aimed at the house or at someone. Dan joined us as well but Melody and Myles were in North Carolina with Monika, Justin and their new baby Magnolia.

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. First of all, it involves fire and blowing stuff up. Secondly, it’s not overly commercialized and thirdly, it was one of my Dad’s favorite holidays. So I always remember him when the 4th comes around. Here’s the video I put together of this year’s celebration.

Coyotes Game Today

Kaleb had a Coyotes game today. The kids are batting very well, but fielding isn’t as good as the last game (with a few exceptions). We also had pictures this morning at 8:00am and it was 50 degrees and really windy. That was miserable for the kids.

If you look closely at the picture, you’ll see that one of those hats “is not like the other”. Me managed to leave his hat in the truck, so we had to improvise with his Cardinals hat.

Here’s a short video of Kaleb batting.

Lukas and His Band-aid

Lukas has his fair share of accidents. He has bad allergies, too. That turned out to be a bad combination this morning when his allergies made him sneeze. His head hit the corner of the open cabinet door! He’s fine now. No emergency room this time. Here’s what he had to say about his injury.

Kaleb and Lukas Pretend Shaving

Here’s another video, this time of the older boys. In it, Kaleb and Lukas are having fun pretend shaving in the bath. This video was shot on January 2, 2008.

Myles Laughing at 8 Months Old

Myles is such a cute baby (actually all of our boys were cute as babies). Myles has the benefit of being born in the mature age of personal online video, though. Here’s a clip of him playing ball and laughing at Melody.

This video was created with the simple and affordable Flip Video Camera by Pure Digital. I’m tired of messing with DV tapes! This camera is flash-based so there is no need for physical media.

Then, it took less than 5 minutes to edit and upload to YouTube with my Apple Macbook Pro and iMovie. Technology done right can be so much fun.
