We had ample opportunity for photos and

videos with Claire and Evan this past weekend.

Here are three videos that highlight their growing

fondness for music.  If you're willing to be silly

you can keep the kids occupied while Grandma

gets some food ready.

In this one, the kids are with me on the piano

bench.  Claire wants me to take a video and is

surprised when I tell her that's what I've done.

(A mere 12 seconds)

Prior to this video, the kids and I have been

carting two Spidermen (mans?) and two

cuddly Teddy bears around while I sang songs.

Spiderman and the Teddies each have to have

a song, and Claire insists on a video.

(About a minute)

This is my favorite, though Judy and I agree

it may not mean much except to our immediate

family.  And it's more than just a one minute

video of a baby monitor.  But that monitor is

what allowed me to capture the inner workings

of Claire during quiet time (once known as nap time).

You may catch fragments of "Holy, Holy, Holy"

(listen for "early in the morning", etc.)

Somehow it morphs into an original song along

the way: "Superheroes Fly By."  Repeat, then

continue to repeat as often as desired.

There were plenty of times I wished I

had the camera, but then I might have

missed some fun.
