Amanda Falk - Beautiful

My first YouTube video to hit 2,000 views, which it did yesterday.



(And, no, I'm not awake now, sitting in front of the computer posting. I used the scheduled post feature in Blogger to put this up in the middle of the night.)

Starfield - Son of God

An appropriate video for a Sunday morning. Enjoy!

But, wow, is it ever good.

Return of the Hungarian Partridges

For the past couple of springs, our backyard has played host to a pair of Hungarian Partridges. Last year, the two of them nested in our firepit for a few weeks as the snow melted, before disappearing for the summer. This morning, there were three of them exploring our backyard.

EDIT: Video added ...

You are my sunshine!

Our penultimate Hawaii video. Nicole shot this on her camera, as she didn't want to learn to play the ukulele. It was taken at the Polynesian Cultural Center.

Funny side note: this is our most-viewed Hawaii video on YouTube, and someone awarded it the dreaded one-star (Poor) rating.

Batting 1,000 on YouTube

Sure, it's a small accomplishment in the online world, but this is my first YouTube video to get 1,000 viewings.

Raiders!

Took some video this weekend while at the soccer tournament.

Surfing in Hawaii!

It's Sunday morning, it's cold. Time for another visit to Hawaii!

This was the first Hawaii video I put together a few months ago when I started playing around with our video editing software. It's a 30-second clip edited down from about 3 minutes of footage. I thought it turned out pretty good. Make sure you stay until the end of the credits.

I love this video for several reasons:

• One of the things Nicole absolutely wanted to do in Hawaii was surfing. For her, this was a dream come true. It was a great thrill as a parent to watch her have so much fun.
• Michelle did not want to go surfing, but we cajoled her into doing it, and she was so happy afterwards. This was an enormous step for her because she was utterly intimidated by the prospect of surfing, but sucked it up, took the lessons, and had a blast.

Basically, this was a chance to watch my kids do something amazing, and stand back and take it all in. What a joy!

Casting Crowns - East to West (Live)

This song is the usual Casting Crowns nine shades of awesome. And check out the Hulkamania shirt being worn by the drummer!

Petra means rock

Stryper rules!

I've been on a bit of a classic Christian rock kick recently, and was thrilled to find this on YouTube. Ah, the memories of driving to the University of North Dakota from Winnipeg in the late 1980s to see Stryper in concert.
