Ariana

Grandpa Shaun here(why do I feel the need to hike my pants up to my chest now?). Well, baby Ariana IS a day old now….at least deserves a video!! I did this for the family, who are geographically all over the place. Figured the Random and Odd family had better see it too. You know, when I was a kid, there were no bloggers. You’d have to walk the video from door to door(yes, in the snow….and uphill) to share it. Thanks for all the kind words, everyone!!!

    I never realised how much Marina looks like Tabitha. That’s crazy.

    Well that brings back tons of memories. Thanks for making me cry this morning :-) She is so beautiful and I loved watching that. Also, who is that song by? I really liked it…

    That video is just beautiful. But where is the crying, screaming and swearing at her husband? That seemed to be present at all my birthing events! I guess editing can be a wonderful thing.

    I can not be happier for them! All of the concern I once had has been completely erased by this one moment. You did an excellent job Shaun…aka Gpa Buddy (sounds better) thank you, they will cherish it for years to come. Just look how blessed she is.

    This old computer won’t let me watch the video, so I had to wait until my Mister got home with his 2 month old laptop.
    He was making gagging sounds in my ear the whole time I was getting all drippy eyed over sweet new baby pictures.

    Don’t take his word for it–the pictures are wonderful, and the song is quite appropriate.

    I do like the VISITOR name tags–looked like half the clan was waiting anxiously.

    The love of family shines through and through.

    OK, now that I’m sniffling at work … that was great work Sean! The song is perfect, can’t wait to download it.

    Congrats everyone.

    That is amazing! You should add that type of work to your Hope Photographers repertoire if you don’t do it already.

    And Congratulations, of course!
