Oh hello there. Seems that living in a pandemic is not always easy and is certainly exhausting. Whether it’s the extra patenting, the constant fear and anxiety or something else crazy, like zoom fatigue, I’m pretty much always tired these days. By the time the kids are in bed, I can barely keep my eyes open. I barely have enough brain power to watch an actual tv show, let alone do anything fun like document our life here. I have loads of pictures that need to be sorted through, too. Ugh.
Oh and bedtime for the eldest toddler is later than it used to be, by the way. We finally admitted that maybe it was too early, and so he now gets special alone with with us at night after the younger one has gone to bed. He’s desperately needed that time, by the way. He’s a much happier kid when he gets it, so I guess it’s win-win, except did I mention we’re exhausted?
Oh and the kittens. We still have those too! They’re getting bigger and are a lot of fun, but they keep us busy too.
I came here to post the July video I made, oh a month ago? And just forgot to post. I realize it’s October by now, but this is where we’re at. Mentally anyway.
I’m just realizing that this video starts off the same way the June video did, but that’s probably a fair representation. We do a lot of baking around here. Maybe eventually I’ll do more blogging too…
I’ve been talking about videos quite a bit lately. As much as I love photos and am definitely a photo person, I’ve shifted my focus to videos the past few months. A photo can never let you hear someone’s voice or laugh, really see how little your kids were, and just doesn’t capture the magic in quite the same way. So while I’ll still continue to fill my house with printed photos and books, I’m trying to focus a bit on videos too.
I recently got a professional video made of our most recent vacation, but while I was at it I also bought 3 extra videos to do first year compilations for each child. Obviously one of those is still unfinished, but I have the other two and had been showing them off to friends and family. And that’s when I realized that most people aren’t aware that I make a short video every month and put it on this website.
