This is a little-bit-techie post...
You know I like taking photos of the kids. I also like taking videos of them in action: Those first steps, the changing look(s), them in action in the walker / tricycle / simply playing, their vocab, changing the voice.

Moomykin's recent post of a very sweet poem about her own marriage got me thinking about my past relationship.
Some of you guys know that this is my second marriage. While I have never intended to hide this from the people I met (which included Hot Mummee who eventually became, well, ...
