Family Night 2010

The boys' preschool did their annual Family Night. I knew it was going to be great when on the way over there BabyNate was screaming gibberish out the window and B looks at me and with this dead serious tone says, "Clayton, I serious don't know what to expect from him tonight." I knew it was going to be pure drama! At the Christmas performance Noah spent most of the time trying to get to the mic while his teacher spent most of the time trying to keep him from it. i must say that Noah did really well this time. Nate....well, he is a rock star at heart. Who needs rules!

Nate singing "Praise Ye the Lord"

Noah singing "What a Mighty God We Serve"

What is Noah Doing??

Yeah, what is Noah doing?.....

This is how videos like this always start off. Its quiet and one of us asks that to the other one.

Nathanael Levi

Nathanael finally made it!

8 lbs 12 oz and 19.6 inches long. Mom and baby are both doing very great. Here is a video and a couple of pics.

Going Crazy Waiting

This is what we do since Nathanael hasn't got here yet. Noah is slowly going crazy and inventing new games like "Bang My Head On The Floor Squeaker Ball" Just needed to share a video with you.

Dance Baby Dance

Sometimes the kid just dances.

Saturday in the Park

The weather was beautiful today (low 80s), so we went on a picnic in the park. Noah loved the park, the grass and trees, and loved running wild; that is until the sprinklers came on. Then he forgot about all that and just loved the sprinklers!

Sorry about the shoddy quality of the video. We used our camera for it and I uploaded it at a low quality to save upload time. Sorry. :(

Carving Pumpkins

L&A, this is for you. We miss you guys.

Noah not really sure about this whole gooey pumpkin business.

This is B's pumpkin.

This is Noah's pumpkin.....with some help from Daddy.

The two together.

Happy Halloween! Hope something makes you scream like Noah. :)

Noah is Walking Video

Noah has started walking really well this week, so we finally dug out the video camera and caught some of it on film.

Cruisin' Video

I looked up two days ago and B had grabbed the video camcorder and was catchin' Noah using his mad skills as a "wee little mobile-type person!" So we did what we usually do when we get anything digital of Noah. We slapped it on the blog. Enjoy!

Noah's Bath Time Video

Don't worry. We added an extra helping of bubbles, so this is a G video and suitable for all audiences. I apologize for the lighting. Our bathroom is just dark. There is no way to light it up.

Semi Mobile Video

As I said earlier we bought Noah a walker. He hasn't really gotten the hang of it yet, but I don't think he cares. He enjoys himself anyways.

We have two ways to view the video. The first one is the higher quality one and is about 10MB. The second is lower quality and about 4.5MB. I'm facing the dilemma of size versus quality versus download time. If it was up to me I would upload the video at a higher quality and you guys could just stare at that little bar that says downloading for 30+mins. My son is worth seeing in crystal clear imagines no matter how long it takes. However, I am extremely biased and probably in the minority. What would be better for y'all? Low quality and quicker download time or High Quality and longer download time?

For now you can choose which you would like, but let me know which you would prefer.

Lift Up Your Head!

Here is a little something to brighten your day. Noah has been able to lift up his head for awhile now, but it just took us a while to catch it on video. So here is Noah.

Lift Up Your Head!

Singing Lessons Video

Please please forgive this post. To watch the video is to listen to me sing, which can damage your hearing, but Noah singing is much better, so tune him in and tune me out.

This was on the tail end of a 30 minute jam session we had today.

Noah & Friends Video

Here is no-holds-barred, unedited, unadulterated Noah. No gimmicks, no fancy music, just Noah laying in the crib talking to his friends. This is probably more for the grandparents than anyone else, but Noah fans around the world are always welcome to view and "goo" and "gaa" over him.

Lion Hunting Video

Hunting lions can be difficult. Take a tour of our facilities and we'll show you how to catch and tame these viscious and ferocious creatures like a pro.

Scootchin' Video

Watch out folks! We've got a mover on our hands. One month down and he is ready for track. If you scroll down to the end of the page there is a petition to add "scootchin" to the Olympic summer games. Help us as we help Noah go for the gold!

(Please don't scroll down to the end of the page. That was a joke. You will feel bad if you do.)

But seriously, this little guy has wheels for a baby. Check him out!

Ukulele Video

Here is a video of a guy playing the Beatle's While My Guitar Gentle Weeps. I would highly recommend it.

Saudi Dancing Video

In our city they are hosting a Global Village, which is groups from all over gathering for a culural experience. We were able to catch a bit of it on video from our camera. Take a look.

Interview with the Captive

Our reporters were able to catch up to the elusive Noah mid-morning today at his summer home, "The Bed." It was difficult to keep him awake, but I think his answers will shock you.

Psycho Father Steals Son and Burns Down Hospital!

The custody battle for baby Noah rages on and the casualties are piling up on both sides.

Just kidding, no deaths yet.

We are just waiting on his little liver to kick in and start filtering out his belarubens (anybody got a clue how to spell that?) That is what cause Jaundice, belarubens. You know. belarubens. It’s a fun word, see if you can work that into a sentence today.

Anyways, way more important than belarubens smellarubens is our son.

So let’s see more of him! The grandparents wanted more face shots of him, so two days ago (before the Iranian invasion) we shot this video of him and sent it to the folks, but because he has been locked away on the 8th floor of a tower we’ve had little photo opportunities, so we are going to make it available to the public.

This is 100% Noah. No lights, music, or fancy smancy stuff.
