Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! Personally, it went way too fast for my liking. But it was enjoyable nonetheless. Lots of sitting around and sweating. Andrew, Q and I had a slumber party in our living room for the weekend. We pulled our mattress downstairs and watched movies every night. It was great!

Today I wanted to share this awesome video I found. I’m sure many of you have probably seen this, I know I’m a little late to the game. We don’t have a TV (just a movie projector) so we don’t see TV commercials very often. Which is usually a good thing, but then we miss the really good ones like this one for Sony Bravia:

But the best thing about it is that it was completely real! The creators of the commercial threw 250,000 bouncy balls down a street in San Francisco.  Watch the behind-the-scenes:

How awesome is that?

Ok, this is the last video I’ll post for a little while, I swear! I posted about Q’s First Birthday a little while ago and it’s overall success. The only thing I regret is that I didn’t take more video. This video might be a bit dull to a lot of you since there isn’t too much going on other than mood shots of the decorations and Q eating his cupcake in hyper speed! I had to get all artsy-fartsy with this one because of the lack of footage. Ah well, they can’t all be winners!

Enjoy (hopefully)!

I’m movie making crazy! Just try to stop me. I was feeling inspired and decided to go ahead and make a Q’s Christmas video AND a Q’s First Birthday video. I’m only going to post the Christmas video today since I need something to post about tomorrow (ha!) so I’ll save the Birthday video for then. See how I keep you coming back for more? Bwuahahaha… sorry. I’m tired.

So, in the meantime, enjoy!

Here are the last two installments of Q’s first year in video! Awhile back, after making a video of his first three months, we decided to do a video recap every three months for the first year to document his cuteness. And also as a reminder for when he is 16 and full of angst that for a brief moment he was our baby boy who needed us and wanted to hang out with us and wasn’t embarrassed by our weirdness.

And here he is being all big and stuff.

After I made the first Q video, I decided that I’m going to try to make a video every three months. Here’s number two in the series. Enjoy!

I just wanted to pop in and say “hello” while Q is taking his nap. It’s officially been almost 4 months since our last post! That’s the longest stretch so far that we’ve gone without posting since the start of this blog. Needless to say, much has happened since you last heard from us. We missed you!

Q is growing by leaps and bounds. He surprises us everyday with some new antic! We have projects that we want to share so keep you eye out for some new posts on the horizon. Until then, enjoy this little video I made of Q from his first 3 months of life. When I was shooting the videos I didn’t have any intention of making anything with it so I shot them pretty small just to save space on my memory card (this is all shot with my little digital camera). So the quality isn’t great, but I had fun editing it. Some of you may have already seen it on my Facebook and Flickr page. The song is “Radar Detector” by Darwin Deez.
