Kyle and I have been working on something for my family since before we found out we were pregnant with Chloe. I had hoped that we would have it ready to be able to give it to them for Christmas, but alas, that’s not what happened. We kept hitting road block after road block. We would fix the problem at hand then we would hit another wall, and wouldn’t make any progress for awhile. Then Kyle had a buddy from work do it for us, and it came back just awful. I was just in tears when I saw his buddy’s finished product. Well after many late nights and lots of frustration with trying to figure things out I am so excited that I got to reveal what we have been working on to my family while they are here.
Surprise! I am pleased to announce “The New Family Home Video” on dvd for the first time EVER!
The box actually looks better in person. We have tried hard, for a long time now to make this project look as professional as possible. With Kyle doing the graphic design and the computer side of it, and me coming up with the ideas of how it should look, and I told Kyle which pictures I wanted to include and I got to oversee everything. I wanted it to be perfect (or as perfect as we could get it) so that it would be cherished by my parents, my brothers and sisters, and my grandparent for a very long time.
When I was announcing to my family that Kyle and I had been working on something for a really long time for all of them, both my dad and Jennifer asked me if I was pregnant again. NO! I am not pregnant again, I just got done being pregnant. But then I whipped the stack of DVD boxes out and started passing them out, and my dad cried, just looking at the box. He so very rarely shows his true emotions that to get him by surprise and have his true emotions surface like that, was so special.
SO! Now it’s time to work on the next tape. I hope we remember what we did to make this one turn out good……
