I wrote a post for last Christmas that included pictures but never got around to making a video until now. So here it is, a video of our Christmas 2009 get-together with friends and family.
Note: if the video stutters, click on the “HD is On” button so that it changes to “HD is Off.”
Here are a few pics from a family get-together we had yesterday at Gma Vita’s place. Lucy always looks forward to these gatherings. She had a lot of fun, shouting, “I’m playing with my cousins!” as she ran to-and-fro.
She’s usually a non-stop blur when she’s around her cousins (yep, even blurrier than usual!) Luckily, we got her to sit still for a bit when we busted out the pies.
We spent Sept 16 – 21 in Oregon. Here’s a (16 minute HD) video of our time there, including a get-together with my brother and his family.
The majority of the video was taken around Corvallis. We didn’t really get any Portland footage this time, so we’ll have to address that the next time we go back.
Yesterday we trekked over to Filoli with Gma Vita. It was nice to finally see the place. Though Jill and the kid are frequent visitors, I was a Filoli newbie. The place is pretty impressive (you know, for a bein’ a bunch of flowers).
I especially liked the area near the pond where there were all sorts of flying critters. While there I thought, “this must be heaven for bees—or at the very least a totally awesome Costco.”
In addition to our pond visit, Lucy played tour guide and pointed out some of her favorite things (“tadpoles!”, “fountains!”, “the cafe where you will buy me a cheese stick!”) and I shot the above HD video.
Yep, it was about as relaxing a Saturday as one could imagine, unless you were Wubert who I’m quite certain was treasuring (i.e., sleeping through) his alone time back at home!
Today Lucy visited Gma Vita’s house, and got to meet her Uncle Jim (see pic) for the first time. She also got a good look around Gma’s yard before it started raining, and saw….the neighbor cat!
She was very excited to see kitty and kept pointing. That’s her new thing, pointing, oh, and walking. Yep, she walks perfectly now! That was quick!
