Dad Ate My Popcorn...

I wanted to take the time to post the other Mother's Day videos I made for my wife.

One of my missions when my wife became pregnant was to document my son's life through a "video journal". Ultimately, I plan to give these videos to my son so he can understand the joy he gave his parents. I want him to know how much he changed our lives. Mostly, I want him to see how hysterical his mom became over his silly antics!

The very first video I made was when we told my mother-in-law that we were having a boy. To this day, it remains my favorite video. Her reaction was so genuine and pure. The simple things in life really resonate.

I try to make the videos every 6 months, but I often sprinkle in "short films", which are usually a couple minutes long of my son doing something funny or sweet. Typically, the videos start with a photo montage that depict his journey during that time period. This is followed by a series of edited videos, which celebrate his BIG personality.

We laugh, we cry, we smile. In the end, we just enjoy being with our kid.
