"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)

Videos NOT Lost: "The Best of the Lamp Family: Season One"

These videos were taken with my phone and with this video camera we lost, then found, then lost again... So I have FINALLY found them and after weeks of trying I successfully got them both on a DVD AND on the blog. These are probably my most coveted and favorite videos we have, then lost now have again.

Stuart was out riding and I was watching TV and Jack finally started moving, this time he was moving so much I just knew I had time to catch it on video... I grabbed my phone sitting next to me and started recording. This was the best of probably 5 videos I shot. He seemed to get camera shy... boy oh boy how things have changed:




Let me preface this video with saying, there were no actors hired for this video what you are about to see is not a dramatization. YES I was in fact that miserable, this was taken after the nurse had left the room giving me STRICT instructions not to eat the ice chips too fast. What can I say I was STARVING and I didn't TOTALLY believe her when she told me if I ate too many too fast I would surely see them again. So yes I engulfed the ice chips while no one (but Stuart and the camera) were looking and YES they did pop back up to greet me a few hours later:



This is our baby boys' first bath at the hospital. WARNING: you may want to turn down your volume, possibly even mute it. You can probably foresee what the audio will sound like, so save your hearing and just go ahead and hit mute:



These next two videos are probably my very favorite. Francie meets Jack for the first time and her motherly instinct immediately took over. She reacted in a way that none of us could EVER imagine. It was amazing.
