Our vacation (on the Carnival Magic) this year was LONG overdue, and was amazing. Not because of all that we did, but of how little we did. Being lazy, afternoon naps and staying up until 2am dancing are all underrated in my opinion. We spent almost the entire time on the ship and only got off for a few hours in Key West. We only planned for whatever moment we were currently in, and no further. What a way to live.
Here are some of the photos, way too many more can be found on SmugMug
One of the best Super Bowl commercials from 2011 was the “Imported from Detroit” commercial with Eminem. The music was cool, the VO was cool and the overall look of the commercial made you want to run out and buy a new car from Detroit. This is the original spot.
Not long after that we took one our our usual trips to Detroit and we decided to make our own modified version of that, but based on the fact that I was “Exported from Dearborn” to Chicago. So, on a whim we shot a bunch of footage with our iPhones while driving, and then a lot more footage with the GoPro camera that we just happened to have on that trip with us. I have all the footage to Brenda and the audio track, and she created our own version. This is what that one looks like (if you have not seen the original, watch that one first).
Nothing goes better with my 6am cup of coffee than 3 screaming/crabby kids. Good morning Saturday!
I want to give a shout out to my favorite Aunt Shirley, Shirley Magdan for such a awesome time today. Thanks to her renting out a roller rink we had a great family skate this afternoon. I would have never thought to do it, but it was great fun for even the small children. Thanks Aunt Shirley, we love you!
This video was shot on my new iPhone 4s, and edited using the new FCPx. As a result, the video looks like crap because of pretty much everything being in motion and the rolling shutter problem, and I couldn’t edit in FCPx to save my life, so it’s as good as it’s going to get under the circumstances. But… it’s better than nothing I supposed. Maybe not, you can be the judge.

This time we decided not to wait until the bed was being scaled with a single leap over, and got Sydney her own bed. She’s been really good at sleeping on the floor mat at Grandma’s house so we thought she was ready. We waited for it to be assembled before we brought her into the room. I think she was a bit confused at first, not knowing what happened to her crib.
