At a trip to Grampa Dave and Grandma Marcia’s, Ian and Nina put on a bit of a magic show for us. Ian loved the limelight, and he’s put on several magic shows for us since… This one was great, there’s another in May that’ll crack you up. To see this video, click here.

The drive home from the park, I let the windows stay open and dropped it into third gear to see the effect on Nina’s hair. You’ll hear her giggle when I hit the right speed. Note that I don’t do this very often at all, and was very careful. To see this video, click here.
Here comes our March movies at last.

Hi! I could use some help testing this on different devices. Give it a click and tell me what you think versus the old format, ok? If you have any complaints, let me know ASAP. Why change? This format should be usable on all iPads and iPhones, and looks pretty darn nice too!
EDIT – Tested on my Mac computer, works great! Tested on iPhone, works great! (It even scales up by itself on the iPhone!) Tested on iPad, works great! Alright, people on Windows, get clickin’ on the link above, please! I hope it works, I’m lovin’ this format!
Alright, so here comes a couple nice clips from January, before we truly bid it adieu and move on to February.
Video, January 16th
Click here to see what’s on the menu for Nina’s picnic. (EDIT — Melissa says that Nina is saying “Snack time!” at the beginning and ending of the video. I am inclined to agree! (But not inclined enough to edit the video. :-\ ))
Video, January 22nd
Click here to watch a short video taken by Grampa Dave of Nina clomping happily across the floor like a baby gazelle testing her agility.
Audio, January 31st
Click here to listen to this audio clip. Now here’s the deal. Nina picked up my iPhone, navigated to the voice recording app, started it recording, and made this recording. That she did this in the first place, is jaw-dropping. She watched me do this, but I did not specifically show her how to do this. What makes it even more incredible is what I believe she says on the recording. “Hear my voice? Yeah.” Melissa said she doesn’t quite hear that… and that may be. It is so crazy that she said that, I’m wondering if I’ve forgotten sometime that I DID show her how it all works.
Video, January 7th
Click here to watch… well alright you’ll pretty much be seeing a video of me (Daddy) being a goofball — we’re not sure what this video is, but I know the kids crack up whenever they see it.
