Sisters from the Background
Clara and Lydia have discovered the built in camera on Rachel’s Mac. As a result they’ve made over 100 videos and pictures. This little video is from a few of the videos that they shot. There’s a LOT more material and so you might see more coming. Just wait until someday when Clara realizes that she can post on the blog by herself. You might not be able to keep up with all the content.

Helicopters
George has become fascinated with helicopters recently. On Saturday while Mom was running errands we got out my tools and some scrap wood and built a helicopter. The girls helped and then later decided that they each wanted their own, so they started work and we ended up with three helicopters. Here are some short clips.

Funny Old Video Clips (no audio)
Here are some funny old clips that I found on an old backup disk. Let’s see if you can guess who’s in them…
Christmas letter to Grandparents
As our Christmas gift to you we’ve put together a little video. Don’t miss the method for picking and eating boogers near the end (Lydia has really put some thought into this).
We watched (and rewatched) George’s dance a few times. We love you.

Sunday craft with the Girls
Lydia made a countdown to Christmas chain in her class at church today. Of course Clara was sad that she didn’t have one, so I put this craft together for her. It turned out pretty cute, so I thought I would post a picture and the PDF in case you wanted to print a few pages and do one too.

The PDF prints out very small marks that act as a guide for cutting after it prints out. I printed ours in color.
Happy Holidays!
Fall pictures of the kids
Here are some pictures Rachel took of the children the other day on our front porch. One of our neighbors gave George (and the girls) a Halloween shirt for his birthday. Remember that Clara is now in school all day. They are getting so big.
George the gymnast
Saturday afternoon the whole family was sitting around in the family room and I remembered that I hadn’t filmed George doing his latest trick. Rachel called me in the other day and told me to watch what he had come up with. I’m not sure how he imagined that up, or how he decided to put his hands in the air, but it was pretty funny.
I’m sure Grandma Watrous will cringe every time she sees him do it. In the video window below there’s a button in the bottom right that will make the video full-screen. It might take a minute to start after you press play. Give it a second.
