Sounds of Sam
We’ve taken a lot of video over the past few months, and thought it’d be neat to make a little movie showing how much Sam has not only grown, but found his voice.
For Emily
Howdy there. I was doing great for a while there posting everyday but i’ve missed a few lately, sorry about that. It’s been good and busy around here. We got a call from our real estate agent on Monday and we had a walk-through at the house yesterday afternoon. Everything looked good for the most part, a few little things here and there to clean up and fix, but we’re officially closing on the house tomorrow morning at 9am. We’re going to be so glad to have this done and over with. It’s sort of the last step in us getting settled into things over the past few months. First it was the sale of the townhouse, then the move into the apartment followed shortly after (3 days later, to be exact) by Sam’s birth and now the move into the house, all in the past 2 months. So needless to say we’re ready to work on some roots. This week has been pretty busy getting everything ready to move, but I think we’re looking good. Hopefully by Saturday night I will be posting from my new office in Christiana.
Emily posted a comment asking for some more video, and it was my pleasure to provide it. Here is a little movie of some various clips over the past couple of days. Hope you enjoy, talk to you later.
thursday
Today, much like yesterday, was a pretty uneventful day. Heather and Sam had nowhere to go today, so it was the 3 of us here all day, me working and the 2 of them doing odd-jobs in the living room. In an effort to avert the stir-crazies we went to Chili’s to get some dinner and then to Office Depot where I bought a fire wire card for my PC. I’m very pumped about this because I can now import video from the camcorder we bought ourselves for Christmas. I’ve taken a ton of video, but I compiled a little movie below of some of the high-points over the past month. It was my first time using Adobe Premiere and editing video, so it might be a little chunky, but I’m really excited about the opportunity to get better at it and do some cool stuff with video. The music is sappy, but hey, I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m a sappy guy and I have no problem with that. It’s hard for Heather and I to not get emotional watching this stuff, not believing that over 5 weeks has passed since the first part of this video. He’s already outgrowing his newborn size clothes, and that’s just not supposed to happen yet. It’s important to remind ourselves that there is so much great stuff to come, and to not get caught up in the fact that it’s moving so fast. It’s great to look back on the past, and having movies and pictures is great, but I don’t want to mourn it so much that I overlook the little things that are happening right now.
