Having some fun with the kiddos . . .

Movies, movies, and more movies

Hey oh . . . So all is well – life is hectic, but is is a bit different. We are still adjusting to what it’s like to have two kids and to be able to get them ready and out the door in under three hours, but it’s good. Everyone is healthy and doing well. I just bought a video camera so that we can post some videos of Cash and Josie. In the past, we couldn’t afford a camcorder, but I just recently discovered The Flip thanks to Lee and I gotta tell you I love it. It’s affordable, small and it records everything to a hard drive. It holds either 30 or 60 minutes of footage and you can upload instantly to youtube or aol video.

It’s great, I think it may be better than a camcorder just for the simplicity of use, and it’s size (size of a digital camera). Hopefully we will use it well. We wanted to be able to post Cash vids and we are also going to Disneyland in April so it will be great to shoot videos of Josie there! Anyway, here is some video of the kiddos from it.

Has anyone seen Juno? What a great freaking movie. If you haven’t seen it – you need to. It deserves every nomination it has received and you it’s good with Jason Reitman on it. Really good stuff, and the soundtrack rocks. You should own it. Here is the preview.

I am also looking forward to this movie . . . here is the trailer – it should be enough.

AP Journalist Arrested for “taking photographs the US Government did not want its citizens to see”

Wow, I couldn’t believe it when I read this article. Our government is getting completely ridiculous at this point . . . something has gotta change:

We believe Bilal’s crime was taking photographs the U.S. government did not want its citizens to see. That he was part of a team of AP photographers who had just won a Pulitzer Prize for work in Iraq may have made Bilal even more of a marked man.

In the 19 months since he was picked up, Bilal has not been charged with any crime, although the military has sent out a flurry of ever-changing claims. Every claim we’ve checked out has proved to be false, overblown or microscopic in significance. Now, suddenly, the military plans to seek a criminal case against Bilal in the Iraqi court system in just days. But the military won’t tell us what the charges are, what evidence it will be submitting or even when the hearing will be held.

So anyway, since that’s over – a little update. things have been crazy busy lately and I am smothered. Cash will be here soon and we’re getting the house ready, Christmas is on the way so things are really crazy here at church – especially in light of the Child Haven project we are doing. It’s fun, but oh so consuming, especially when it comes to time. Happy Holidays everyone!! There’s a good chance I won’t be able to update again until Cash is here!
