Cold and Kids...

Best to stay in when the temps are -5 so that meant uploading the videos from our Christmas trip to the Ramada Tropics Resort in Des Moines. They are up on our youtube channel, you'll have to be a bit patient with the background noise and waiting for the boys and Kena to come down the slides. Todd now tells me that there is a feature on youtube to add background music in place of the sound that was originally on the video. In the future we might combine several shorter video's into one with background music and just show the highlights. We should be able to make it a little better each time, we're learning... I've also uploaded all of the pictures from that trip to our web album through picasa web albums. I've embedded a slideshow right here in our blog for you to enjoy.

We also babysat today for some friends of ours, Garth & Kati. They just got home from a 2 week vacation visiting family in Utah.... they needed some alone time after the 24 hour train ride home over night New Years Eve with their three children. We took a video of supper and it was NOISY to say the least. We almost doubled our numbers with their 3 and our 4 here, and of course both babies cried at the same time, while the bigger ones at the table sang and shouted - ear plugs anyone? Should you elect to watch this video, please do yourself a favor and turn the speakers down a bit :) Click Here for Tonights Video
