Video explanation

Videos have been our biggest issue recently. Turns out that the problem was our new camera...it's too good. The quality of the videos was higher than our old one and the files were 10x the size, which Blogger hasn't handled well. Or at all. So we've changed the resolution on the camera and will now have a chance to show you videos we take from now on. In other news, if you know how to convince Blogger to upload a 100 MB video, let us know.

As a test, I asked Charlie to sing a little for us. So here he is, performing his old stand-by, "Deep and Wide".

Houston livestock show and rodeo!

[Editor's note: Picasa and Blogger have been giving us issues for a couple months, so blogging has been a bit sparse. I (David) and trying to work through that a little today. Here's a post from March written by Erin that never made it out of draft until today.]

We picked a rainy cold day to visit the livestock show, but still managed to have some fun.

1. Random FFA girl invited the kids over to pet her 16 month old heifer, Bella. She let each of them sit on her, and they all had a nice little visit.

2. Petting Elsie, the Borden cow.

3. Llama, Llama, Red Pajama. Jono was NOT a fan.

4. For some reason, being at the livestock show encourages my children to eat like animals.

5. Fried Oreo indoctrination. Hazel was a BIG fan.

Story time

A few months ago, Jonathan decided to read a book to his siblings. I tried to capture it with my phone, but the lighting didn't turn out too well, and now I can't figure out what book it actually was. Oh well. It's still pretty cute when they all want to climb in a crib together.

We're free!

So that's what a full b=package of wipes looks like when they've been released from confinement. Huh. Always wondered, and now I know.
