watching old videos to cheer me up

Anton and I like to go down memory lane every so often watching old videos.  Thought I'd post a few.

This one is right after we got Anton and we couldn't find the keys.  I love the "love lu."

This is Anton chasing Nimitz and we're telling our friend Isabelle about our adoption experience.

We did "ants" a while back for Science.  I love "we have to be patience."  you can hear a Russian accent still.

This is when we got some aquatic frogs about 2 years ago.

This one is a freak snow we had in Houston.

2 Field Trips Enjoying Nature

Here are just a few photos (slideshow) and a few videos from a few trips we made beginning of May. 

The slideshow is from 2 trips:  1) Butterfly Museum, part of the Houston Museum of Natural Science.  2) trip with Cub Scout den, to the Edith Moore Sanctuary, it is situated in a neighborhood subdivision along Rummel Creek that feeds into Buffalo Bayou, just off Memorial Drive in Houston.   This was Anton's first year in Scouts as a Wolf.  We have made some great friendships and appreciate the Den leaders so much.

The next video clips are just from the Butterfly Museum (obviously :O)

The Supermoon & Shakespeare

This picture is from 5/6/2012, the Supermoon.  I took many photos but with this photo, the background light helped the exposure and the objects nearby gave some perspective.  I was experimenting and surprised that this one came out better than the ones taken with no light or objects nearby.

This was taken after evening church at Katy Bible Church.

It reminds me of one of my favorite scenes from Merchant of Venice

How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!
Here will we sit and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.

 but in case you haven't seen this movie and thinking about it...it has some nudity in it, we have a cleaned  up version, but apart from that it is very good.   ...since I'm posting a song from soundtrack I felt I had to include this warning, particularly for the guys.   


Can you hear the music of the spheres?

Our Aquarium Day

Had a great day with Helen and Peter, from our church. The Aquarium is in Houston, TX. Tuesday is BOGO free (thanks Helen for the treat!). The place is nice. Although we felt sorry for the White Tiger.

The Picasa program is so easy to make a quick video. I love Big Band Swing, Beyond the Sea (music chosen for video). I hope you enjoy.
