personal

Well, it is about time for a personal post. I don’t do this very often, but really should post about my own kids more often. Truth is, I take a crazy amount of photos and video of them and then never really get it edited. I have STACKS of tapes and hard drives full of them. I figure I just keep taking footage and one day when I am all caught up I will edit it. 🙂 one day.

This is my latest exception – my first timelapse with the 5D – I am very excited about this media – and of course about the subject! We have had this family tradition for quite a few years to make ravioli for xmas dinner. It goes back to when my Mom was growing up and her Dad (Irish-Italian) made ravioli by hand for Christmas dinner. I remember going to visit and seeing pasta drying everywhere and my Grandpa covered in flour. So we have tried to match his recipe as closely as possible and put in a few of our own twists, and voila a old/new tradition is born! This year we went to my Brother’s house – Audrey has become something of a breadmaking wizard and it gets better every year!

So enjoy our ravioli day – I can’t wait for Christmas dinner!

This is MY sweet boy and his sweet toad! AND my new camera! We have two very sweet little toads that Cole found in our backyard. They are living in a nice little habitat in our screened-in porch. We have a new morning ritual of collecting crickets and watching them eat – it is pretty fun actually. Really, we just like hanging out and watching the toad eat breakfast! 🙂

So here is my first film using the Canon 5DM2 – I am super excited to work on projects like this with my families AND my family too! I shot a bunch of great footage at my wedding this weekend – working on that footage for their preview….. get ready for that! In the meantime, please enjoy my boy and his toads!
