Life in motion

Here are a few videos I've been meaning to post but have been sans my trusty desktop until now (I had to buy a desk chair and didn't get one until yesterday) so I finally have had time (read: procrastination) to upload these two. The first, the most recent, is of Annie singing happy birthday to her father and stealing the spotlight to blow out his candles. We opted for a homemade key lime pie this year instead of cake. After all the restaurant food we had been eating for the prior few weeks, something on the "lighter side" seemed appropriate. Of course, regardless of whether or not a pint of heavy cream constitutes "lighter," it certainly tasted good.

The second is from the last night we had in Houston with our good friends. Sara Kate is Annie's best friend. The two have known each other since Annie was about 9 months old, Sara Kate, 6 months. So it was only apt we spend our last meal in Houston with them. Jay captured this last play date as we prepared reluctantly to leave. It totally captures their dynamic. Sara Kate has a plan, and Annie sort of flits around it, much to Sara Kate's shagrin. But you also see the joy they have in playing together. They'll be truly missed by each other and by us.
