Do you want to see our video?

It is the one I made for our baby shower and I had a HECK of a time uploading it because it is a HUGE file. Sometimes it stops in the middle and there is no way to fast forward to where it left off but if you want to check it out I am going ot post the link. It is almost 20 minutes long...just trying to prepare you. LOL. I put it on my OLD family Blog that I haven't used in months and months. Check it out. Enjoy. Give it a few minutes to play or whatever...it's slow sarting up. And if anyone has a RELIABLE site in which I can upload this video to please let me know. I used filelodge for this one. I can't use youtube since it's over 10 minutes long. Oh and once you get there click on the journal/blog section on the top.
Hugs
Mindy

Oh my gosh-oh my gosh-oh my gosh!

I am just a big puddle of tears!

I managed to semi-hold it together until I saw her in the pink bib that says "I am cute." YES, YOU ARE!!!

I am so happy for you and cannot wait until you are all together...very soon, I hope! And, of course, in my perfect world we both pick up soon and at the same time!!

Thanks so much for sharing!

What an angel!

Aww...I was already emotional after seeing the end to the Bachelor!! Your video just put me over the top. I am wiping my tears as I write this e-mail. You have a beautiful little princess. I especially loved her in the white dress. She looks like an angel. Thank you for sharing. You have a beautiful family. I hope she comes home to you real soon!!
