Christmas 2009 Video

Posted on by

It’s taken a bit of fiddling with some uncooperative software, but we’ve posted the video we shot during our Christmas trip to Nebraska last month. You can find it here.

We have actually posted two versions of the movie. The first, which you’ll see if you visit the page using Firefox, Safari or Chrome, is a smaller, lower-quality representation that is sized for viewing over the Internet: just click the link above, and the video will play. Well, it should play.

The second version is a high-resolution copy that you can download and play full-screen or burn to a DVD. To get this version, click the link that says “Download the high-resolution version.” Note that this is a very large file that may take some time to download.

More Retro Goodies

As we move into 2010, one of our resolutions is to avoid falling two years behind in posting pictures. To that end, we present tonight two troves of photographic treasure.

The first is a small collection of pictures of Joe’s introduction to his big boy bed, which, unbeknownst to him, is just his old crib with the drop side removed. Because it’s a crib and not an actual bed, it was too high for him to climb into for the first six months or so. To give him a leg up, we moved one of the sofa cushions from the living room to the floor of the kids’ bedroom. This didn’t do much for the ambiance of either room, much to Julie’s aggravation, but it did serve to assuage my paranoid fears about Joe falling out of bed and ending up with brain damage.

The second album contains a larger group of photos from the same timeframe, during which Grandma and Grandpa Wong were here for a visit. As an added bonus, it contains a short video clip of Joe performing a patently unsafe stunt.
