Quick video from this week. I can’t get the youtube editor to work they way it did the first night I used it so I can’t get the other Christmas video edited. I will go ahead and post it. It is long and may make you a bit motion sick…. :)

At least he isn’t putting them in the trash anymore.

Christmas videos from Christmas morning at our house. Maybe one day I will be able to edit it properly!

Christmas Video

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

I finally figured out a way to edit my videos so I am slowly working on them. The only way I can edit them is to do the edits in YouTube. I stumbled on it the other day and was so excited. It isn’t anything spectacular, but I am just looking to crop them down some and make them a little more interesting for everyone. I haven’t found a free program on my computer that can read the ten million video formats (I am pretty sure there are 10 million and none are compatible with each other) and doesn’t slow my computer down to a snail’s pace making the videos all choppy and impossible to edit. It takes a long time to upload them and then do the work and time isn’t something I have much of these days. If Graham could start entertaining himself some during the day or taking a long nap that would probably help, but I don’t see either happening anytime soon.

Here is a collection of videos my brother took on Christmas Day. It is long, but make sure to stick around for the mini break down in the middle involving the Hess truck. Graham was a bit whiny and tired by the time we got over there Christmas morning and there was a lot of action. Not a good combination. Hopefully more Christmas videos to come soon.

Merry Christmas

I know everyone is waiting for Christmas pictures so wanted to post a few tonight. I have videos too, but might be another week until I can get those on here. I still have old videos and pictures to post if I ever get around to doing it. I am trying to update and clean up all my pictures. There are a lot. Way too many and not organized or printed. I need to get better at tagging, printing and deleting the bad ones. Videos too.

Santa brought Graham an awesome cardboard house for Christmas! He loves it, even more than his expensive fancy toys. I am not sure what is so great about it, but he sure seems to like it so it looks like I will have a big box in my living room for awhile. Santa spent a lot of time and way too much money making this house, but it turned out really nice. He of course has already started destroying it.

The other Santa gifts, not nearly as exciting. We had to drag him out of the house to open them.

A black and white expression since I haven’t done these in a long time. I wasn’t able to edit it as much as I wanted because I upgraded to Elements 10. There are a few things I can’t figure out yet and none of my actions are in 10 yet.
