A Forty Second Serenade

I have been thinking about trying to upload a video for quite some time now. My husband gave me a Flip video recorder for Valentines Day and it took me four months to work up the energy to load the software on my computer and upload the videos from the Flip. I really dread installing new applications on my computer, because they usually end up being incredibly time consuming and frustrating. I was quite pleasantly surprised to find the installation easy, intuitive, and FAST! The instructions for every aspect of what you need to do with the Flip fit onto a tri-fold instruction booklet that is about the size of a postcard when unfolded. Wow, here is another company that should be paying me some bucks for promoting them. Let me just say I LOVE the Flip. So now I am taking that last step... the final frontier, if you will, and I'm going to attempt to upload a video to my blog.

But what do I love more than my Flip video recorder? Quick hint: starts with V...

My babies love singing in the tub. They also love being videotaped and watching the videos of themselves and laughing. I wish I had a second Flip, so I could make a movie of them watching movies of themselves. They scream and laugh and jump up and down. But for now, here is a brief serenade... Tino singing one of the all time classics and Victoria chiming in during his pauses.

Okay, that was somewhat painful. I had to save the video in multiple different formats and it took an agonizingly long time to upload. Also, I couldn't preview it because of "errors processing request" and I can't understand why the quality looks much worse than on my cherished Flip. But I did it! I uploaded a video!

So everybody click on it and write a comment, just to make me feel it was all worthwhile. Don't worry... it's only 40 seconds.

I'll be back soon with more exciting updates. Our big day is coming up in only 17 days.
