No need for video!

Isn't it awesome how we have many capabilities for recording life these days? With not only video cameras, but hand held devices and cell phones that can record...we can pretty much capture any moment on a dime. Last night my husband Jeff and I took our daughter Olivia for a walk around our new neighborhood. Jeff and I left our cell-phones in the house, and gave Livvie our undivided attention. It was so much fun! There is a little park with a slide and swings, and we played with abandon. Olivia got a kick out of watching her parents swinging or sliding right along with her, even if it was at a much slower pace! After we had enough of the park, we began to walk home. Olivia at almost 3 loves to skip, and began skipping along and invited Mommy and Daddy to skip along with her. At first I felt a little funny, but soon her laughter and squeals of delight made me forget myself, and we were all skipping along at full speed! I started to sing we're off to see the wizard....and my usually quiet hubby, who was skipping like a pro, joined in. There we were, just the three of us...holding hands, skipping along and singing for all our new neighbors to see. It was the most fun we have had in a long time, only because it was with such joy. A friend remarked after hearing the story that maybe a neighbor taped us and posted it on youtube. I hadn't thought about that....but I almost wish that would have happened, so I could watch it. Thing is, I really don't need to see a video of this....I can replay it in my mind right now and see the smiles...a priceless memory I will keep with me for a lifetime! Isn't it nice to know the memories we make with our families each day don't have to be recorded for us to remember them? Family vacations, little walks, even a car ride can create a really cool memory! Hope you make one today!
