   Regan's Dance Debut

   Regan began taking dance this fall and has absolutely loved it. This is a video of her debut. It was originally supposed to be performed in conjunction with the Sagemont Church's Winter Festival, but the church had to cancel their performance tent. No worries. A local nursing home (The Pointe...

   Aidan the Ballplayer

   I've really enjoyed playing t-ball with my 5-year-old son, Aidan. We both have a lot of fun, and I think he's pretty good. This is some video I caught when we were practicing on March 2, 2008.

   Regan Storytelling

   Regan gets her turn in the storyteller's chair... er... carpet square. I wish I had gotten more footage. There was some really great stuff when the camera wasn't rolling.

   That's the End

   Aidan makes a short film about topics only he can explain. Daddy has fun on the production side of things.

   More storytelling

   A couple of "lost" stories that I found on my computer. I actually like these better than the first two I posted on Sunday. I love the voices he does in these.

   Aidan the Storyteller

   Aidan has real verbal ability for a four-year-old. This episode features Aidan telling stories. They aren't his best stories, but they are pretty entertaining. I really need to video more of these. They are always fun.

    MFP Episode 7

    I went through the graduation ceremony on May 8, 2006. It was nice, for a lengthy graduation ceremony. I appreciated my in-laws (Mickey and Peggy Wireman) flying up for the "festivities". My advisor/major professor, Marsha Carolan, makes a cameo in this episode. Cinematography by Kari Martin. The...

    MFP Episode 6

    Aidan does ballet (sort of). We thought Aidan would enjoy a dance class for 3 & 4-year olds at the local community center. He has always been interested in doing different things, and we had no reason to believe this would be any different. Boy were we wrong. In this episode, you can see his...

    MFP Episode 4

    I finally got all of the pieces together to put real video on the podcast. We got our digital video camera last weekend, and my Firewire PC Card came in the mail today. I was amazed how easy it was to import the video, edit it, and convert it to an iPod-compatible format. Surprisingly, it was…

    Walk to Daddy

    Another one of Regan walking. She is going straight for the camera, and loving every minute of it. Of course, Aidan wants in on the action too.

    Regan Walking with Aidan

    Just today Regan really started walking a lot. She is probably still crawling more than walking, but she is getting very good at crawling and she really enjoys it. She's starting to seem like such a big girl!

    MFP Episode 2

    In this episode, Jason interviews Aidan about what Aidan likes to do. Then the two of them play some abstract game involving boats, alligators, and Hawaii (?). I don't know where he gets it...

    Aidan's Obstacle Course

    Aidan has gotten into the habit of using moveable furniture (i.e. chairs, cushions, etc.) to create a little obstacle course. He calls it his "best trick". Although he isn't always keen on putting the items back, he usually gets the job done. It's pretty cool to watch. I may try to post more of...

    Aidan and the ABC's

    This is from last September when Aidan was 2 1/2. Most of you have probably alrady heard it, but I though it was worth a posting.
