Crumbs

Remember those video cameras and disposable cameras we had sent to St. Lucy's in William's care packages? All in all there were 6 of them. We received back four.

Only one disposable camera had anything worth processing. The other turned out entirely black negatives. One video camera had dead batteries and no footage taken. The other had about 10 different segments. Most of them were random shots of desks and doorknobs ("Is the camera on? Whoops."). The remaining clips featured some cute footage of William from what I'm guessing is January 2008. The little we did get is something for which to be thankful. We'll take whatever crumbs we can get from that period of his life we missed.

CVS processed the footage into individual takes and also compiled a "Best Of" segment, complete with an elevator music soundtrack. (The baby being whisked out of the shot toward the end is Mel's son, Odin.) Take a look. Warning: the last 20 seconds are a tad X-rated.

How absolutely wonderful that you have this video of your little man!!! I love when he is waving hello and then holding his picture of you!!! Great crumbs!

I love the cumbs! The segment where he's holding the photo album is especially cute. All in all, would you choose to send just video cameras again to SLC and not bother with the still shots, because SLC takes plenty of still shots?

Judy, so nice to stop in and catch up with your family!! Little William is just beautiful. His little rash is so sad though!! My friend Tish over at 1st Time Mama has been dealing with her son Matthew's rash too. Has it been affecting William's sleep?

The video is priceless... any little shred you can get of their life before coming home is like gold, isn't it?

Blessings,
Rebecca
