how to be 2

With Myer's second birthday coming up, nothing has consumed my thoughts more.  I can't just let go of the idea that he's growing up.  He's becoming a little person and he has perfected the life of a 2 year old.  Just like this clip.  Enjoy and happy weekend!

happy weekend. or happy trails...

This just puts me in the mood for travel.

I always thought life should have random moments of song,

kinda like a musical...

And I always thought in life there should be lots of travel.

So this clip seems pretty perfect to me.

I need a vacation.

I'll live through these people either departing or arriving from a warmer destination than here.

Happy travels.

err weekend.

without you

So.... 

your welcome.

missing out on morning

Made this video from Saturday morning

so in case I feel like I'm missing out,

I can watch this.

So basically this is more for me,

than for you.

Sorry (but not really...)

He has a way with gab.

Enjoy anyways!

whoops- California vaca video

Maybe it's because I'm missing the beach (again)

or maybe I'm just absent minded,

but last night I found our video from our California Vacation in June.

Please enjoy, even if it's two months late.

call your girlfriend

Feeling like I needed a "not-on-the-beach-pick-me-up" for my Wednesday.

This sure did the trick.

the amateur project

Check out this clip my cousin, Bryan, created to support his upcoming project.  Ever since we were little Bryan was the one with the camera in hand making movies.  And he's finally making things happen with his upcoming independent film called "The Amateur".  I am so proud of him.  (He was the funny cousin, can you tell?)  If you would like more info click here.  But seriously, I hoped you watched because it is "Freaking Great."  So proud and excited for you Bryan!

motherhood

Happy Mother's Day to all you Mommies out there!  Jake and Myer sure spoiled me by letting me SLEEP IN, yummy breakfast in bed, a pair of Sperrys, and all the Jane Austin themed movies I wanted.  I need to remember this all for Father's Day.... Jake is such a good husband that I want to be better a wife.  Myer is such a good little boy that I want to be a better mommy.  And I know I can't do any of that without God's help.  I watched this video this weekend which basically sums up what motherhood is and our partnership with God.  It is so tender.  Please watch, and I hope you got the best attention you deserved.

my valentine

Ok so it's not Valentines day,

but a girl's gotta love a little exposure to sign language.

And some Depp also didn't hurt anyone.

*please note these are hearing actors not fluent in sign language.  Songs are open to many interpretations so please take with a grain of salt!

rewind with a video

Music "Hold on Tight" by Electric Light Orchestra

walk this way

music by Mother Mother "Bright Idea"

ASL wins again

Oh man.  If I could show this video to every person in the world I would.  These two boys were adopted by an American family from China.  Travis on the left is 3 years old and Deaf, and Tian on the right is 2 years old with partial hearing.  When they came home they had zero language skills.  6 months later both boys can communicate beyond just expressing basic needs, and "have more words than [the parents] can count".  This video shows how beneficial and just right sign language is for Deaf children.  It's accessible--they have eyes to see it and hands to use it.  In this clip they're not just using bare basic sign, they are relating to the book, correcting each other's sign, and making real world connections.  To be able to do all that they must know the language on a deeper level.  (in just 6 months??)  Perfect proof that sign is the best choice for Deaf children and another point, look how smart they are!  I don't know any other 3 year old helping a sibling "say" frog correctly.  To read more about their story check our the family's blog called "Signs of Life: The Brownie Chronicles".  I just became a recent follower and supporter.  Oh, and don't forget to watch the clip!

a friendly video

I know that this video has been floating around the blog world but I couldn't help post it again--that little blonde girl is just too cute.  And seeing children sign makes my heart smile. Hope your Wednesday gets you through to the weekend.  Bye friends.
