Project 365 is totally something I could get into… I take pictures practically every day, anyway. The trick would be coming up with a good picture every day and trying to actually represent our life visually. Still, I think I’m going to try it!

I let CareBear take over my camera this morning… here’s a peek at what the world looks like when you’re a small child:
CareBear is getting quite good at using the camera… her subjects are in focus and usually intentional these days!

It occurred to me that I could post videos to YouTube and then embed them here until I can figure out how to post them directly… so I made an account and gave it a try!Â

Hmmm… it’s ok, I guess, but I’ll be happier when I don’t have to go through YouTube. On the plus side, it’s forcing me to learn a little video editing with iMovie.

There’s a rumor that I should be able to post videos on our site… I tried for a couple of hours this morning, but was unable to get it to work. I think I need some kind of conversion of the file and Chris says I should be able to get it to work. Does anyone know how to convert a .mov from imovie into an .flv that will play on here?
I know, not a lot of techies (or maybe not a lot of people) read this, but it’s worth a shot! I think I’ll try asking this on LiveJournal, too.
In the meantime, something cute to look at from our trip to Seaside last June:

We woke up this morning to an inch or so of new snow! CareBear was thrilled, she was very sad when our previous snow started to melt. It’s unusual for us to have snow on the ground so soon after the last storm, but it’s fun! CareBear made Chris go out and play with her before we headed out for lunch with my folks. They had a great time… the puppies romped and the humans explored.Â
And poor little LiliBee was stuck watching out the window yet again. She’ll have more fun once she’s a bit more stable walking and can actually play in the snow. As it is, she often has to wait inside until I’m ready to go out too.

Well, it’s 2009. We had a pretty boring New Year’s Eve… a little grocery shopping, a quick dinner, lots of jumping around on the part of the small children, lots of shaking and panicking on the part of the big dog. Lucy really doesn’t like fireworks, so 4th of July and New Year’s are particularly difficult for her.
The fireworks lasted from 11:30pm until 1am around here last night. I’m not sure why they had to go on so long, but it made it impossible for me to sleep. I just hate it when Lucy is so upset. Consequently, we all slept in a bit this morning and we’re planning on doing a lot of nothing today. Nowhere to go, nothing to do… a good way to ring in the New Year, eh? I figure it’s one of the few days of the year when we really don’t have to do much so we might as well enjoy it!
