I know everyone says this: but summer has flown by in a blur – and August has flown by even faster than that (what’s faster than a blur: a blink? a whiz? a flash? a rocket?)
Our August was filled with trips to Kennywood (as usual), VBS week at church, the Norwin Community Picnic (which was rudely interrupted by a CRAZY rain storm this year), and the start of school. AND, to top it all off, as the icing and cherry on top, we took our “big” yearly vacation in August (the videos from which I haven’t even started to edit yet – the first week of September has been a beast, but we’ll talk about that next month).
OH and if you look closely – you’ll catch a peek into what Leander will be for Halloween this year at the end of the video (I found the costume at a kids’ consignment sale and let’s just say: I’m not sure who was happier – Leander or Derrick!) Halloween still feels so far off though and I’m determined to enjoy and soak in SEPTEMBER, before we roll into October!
Just in case you’ve missed what I’m doing – I decided that I wanted to create a curated “home video” for our family every month (remember those old “home movies” our families used to create? with the giant video recorders that an entire VHS tape fit in?) Those videos were fantastic, but if you’ve ever sat down to watch one (does anyone even own a VHS player anymore?) you very quickly realize that you do a lot of “fast-forwarding”.
So, my goal, is to take all the little videos I take of our family over the course of a month & create a short (my goal is to be around 10 minutes) video of my favorite snippets. I am SO excited to finally have a dedicated place to chronicle my family videos & keep them safe & accessible.
Enjoy a little peek into what our August looked like!
