| Still pictures not enough for you? Then enjoy these little bits of video. They're not the best quality, just flashes of Jacob's life as seen through the eye of the camera. We started in October because the new camera was a birthday present for Deb) and still record here and there whenever we think of it! Recording much more this way in April since Daniel stole, er, borrowed our video camera and now this is all we have to record movement. They're not all the best quality (Timber Movie is at night in a dark room) but they shouldn't take hours to download, either! And we are sorry about the sideways ones, but sometimes Debbi starts to take a picture and then switches to video and doesn't turn the camera back to landscape! |

I can't seem to fix it so you'll have to turn your head or figure out how to rotate it on your screen. Sorry!!
