"The poorest, the weakest, the simplest child, is born for immortality. This value outweighs the entire material universe, no matter how small a mark this child makes on it. The tiniest infant owns a deathless intellect, and is as immortal as the Father of spirits. No one can tell what this child will become."

~ A Prebyterian Pastor who died in 1873


"And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise."

~ (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)

Almost 3 Years of Dust (Revised better quality video)

I had lost the wedding video (or slide show with music) from the wedding of Stuart and I. We did not have a videographer but we did have a photographer and it seemed that right in the photographers shadow was... Brett. He essentially got every shot that the photographer got, only his actually turned better. (Here is where I must mention in Brett's shadow stood my Uncle Warren.)

A few months later we received a package from my sister and Brett, it was the best gift I have ever received, it was a slide show that played to perfectly selected music.

Almost a year ago I thought about the video and wanted to watch it, but it was nowhere to be found.

One night I called my sister to see if Brett could copy me another one.

Unfortunately, they had just moved to San Francisco and most of the things were in storage. I was so sad

But yesterday I went in the back where we keep DVDs I was going through some old ones I thought Jack might like, ones he had never seen. And as I picked up a handful of videos there it was the holy grail (and by "holy grail" I am not referring to the actual Holy Grail, I just could think of another word) :)

So I proceeded to blow off the almost 3 years of dust, and popped in the DVD player, it was so wonderful, just as I had remembered it.


I am so excited and I want to thank Brett and Andrea again for making the memories that will stay for ever in my mind and creating then into a beautiful work of art.

Pictures of Our Happy Baby

Last night I came home and Jack was in the best mood so I shot a video of him, it is so cute and I love to see him happy like that. He has had an almost constant cold since early December and spent most of the time either with a runny nose or pretty cranky. It was a very wonderful thing to come home to.









This is my favorite...
