I’m finding that doing these videos on a regular basis is getting more and more difficult. And that’s too bad because the process of making these videos is so satisfying. I feel like I’m smiling the entire time while making them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But time is always in short supply, and keeping priorities balanced is always a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This video took a long time because I was trying something new (I won’t go into it) and after several months of experimentation it didn’t work and I had to cut my losses. So the video itself is very simple and does not reflect the time I actually put into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the video is a special dance performance by Andrew. It may seem like a weird addition to the video, but it happened after her birthday celebration and nobody else danced that evening so he’s the only one that got the love on that. I think Sydney is secretly not happy about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
