EJW: Season one

Yesterday, to mark Ellie's birthday, Kaz created a DVD combining all the video clips we made over her first year. An awesome illustration of how much she has come on (if only in hair growth). We had it playing in the background whilst she opened her presents and cards at grandma's house. We had a lovely lunch with a mini-birthday cake. Uncle Matthew probably scored the winning gift with a small drum that EJ loved banging on with a tad more enthusiasm than rhythm. (I may yet come to curse his name.) That day followed a day trip to Norwich, where Oma had given EJ an eponymous rose to grow with her over her life and they exchanged many big smiles and happy waves.

There's a fair bit absent from this update, but this is how I choose to remember the weekend.

"She's changed the settings and I'm not sure how."
- have just choked on my coffee laughing!

At least she didn't call Australia... =)

After Kaz had compiled the DVD, she was looking for some music to have playing over the menu screen. She wanted something gentle and peaceful whilst displaying happy baby images.

She settled on some music from the Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack. The track is entitled "Concerning Hobbits". I supported my wife's decision for it is nice music, but mentally noted that I should tell you this.
