No Video..

Hi. Let me explain why our son has now been walking for about two weeks, and we have no video posted. Well, we have a video camera. It's nice, it was a very generous gift from Troy's parents a couple of years ago. Before we had any kids, we used a bunch of tape to film our dogs, ping-pong tournaments and other such nonsense. Then, we had Jude, and there was some tape left, which we used to film him rolling over, sitting up, and laughing (which are all valid moments to put on video). But, there they stay--on the little bitty tape inside our camera. The little bitty tape is now full.

So, you say, why don't you just upload the video and move on? We don't really have an answer to that question except that we can't figure out how. Here are some options of why it's not happening:

a. We lost the special cord to upload the video and haven't bought a new one. After all, we've moved three times since we got the camera in 2006.

b. We have no video software on our computer, and we don't know why...something out both our laptops being wiped clean and neither one ever having the video software re-installed. (Does that even make sense? I am not techy, I just know that we can't upload video.)

c. We haven't taken our little tape over to Troy's parent's, sister's or other sister's computer to clean it off and put the current footage on DVD. The only reason for this is because we're absent-minded.

d. We haven't driven 3 minutes to our choice of Target, Walmart, or the going-out-of-business Circuit City store to buy another little tape we can fill up!

The answer is....All of the Above. Dumb! Anyway, imagine a little bald roundish child walking around like he's holding an air guitar all the time. It's pretty cool.
