In memory of the Virginia Tech victims

All tired out from the zoo!

A sleeping baby is a happy baby! Ryan was exhausted after a few hours at the zoo. Here he is catching a few zzzz's while big brother plays at the playground!

Okay, so I did this backwards. I should have uploaded the kid and baby pictures and videos first, but I forgot that it would put my last entries first and the first ones last. At any rate, if you're checking in for updates, make sure you click on the link at the bottom called "Older posts" to view the rest of the new photos and to get to the links where the videos are!

The next few photos are some snaps I got during our zoo trip on Monday! Gosh, I love my superzoom lens! (Thanks mom and dad! This is one Christmas present that I definitely have gotten some use out of!)

Here's some photos of Nicholas at the zoo's kinderspielplatz (playpark). From the moment we got there, this is where he wanted to go more than anything else, go figure! I have to admit, though, it is a pretty impressive jungle gym, and I think he had a blast!

Zoo pictures

Below are some snaps I took of Ryan during out excursion to the Nurnberg Zoo on Monday. Obviously he saw something that amused him!

Videos!

After months of trying, we finally got it all to come together! I figured out how to use the camcorder - who woulda known it was so simple! Also, Kev finally had some time to play with the video editing software, so now we can create short clips to share with friends and family! This is my first time loading videos here, so hopefully it will work for everyone. I tried using photobucket.com first, but it kept distorting the images, so I found a new video hosting site (www.zippyvideos.com). For short videos like these this website shouldn't be a problem, but I will have to see if I can change the photobucket settings if I want to upload more than 20MB (about 2 minutes). The downside is that I can't link directly to it, it transfers you to their website, but that's not too much of an issue. Anyway, enjoy the new footage and now that we've got the kinks worked out we can update more often. :)

Happy baby!
