Chick Flicks -- The Homecoming

Here's the first of many (I hope) videos from my trip. My brand new video camera created high definition video, but my iMovie program on my Mac won't import it. I have to resolve that issue asap. So the only video I could create this weekend was the moment that Little Zo Peep met her sister for the very first time and was reunited with me after 14 days.

I mentioned before that my babysitter was having problems with my old video camera that I left behind. I used her video (plus some snippets taken on my digital still camera) to cobble together this piece. The quality isn't great, but the sentiment is there.

I hope you enjoy

I cannot believe how amazing this was to see your family of two now become a family of three. Big huge tears are in my eyes as I watch this. Can't wait until you have more to share!

I'm sitting at my desk crying at the video, how beautiful the three of you are, what a beautiful family. I just tuned in, I had no idea you'd be blogging from China (but I should have known!) and spent the past hour catching up. I'm so glad you captured the whole experience, what a wonderful thing to be able to share with the girls when they're older.

More tears from Texas! Thank you for sharing that with us. And I know you already know this, but from a completely impartial bystander (apart from the fact that I feel like I know you), Zo Peep and Doodle doo are two of the cutest little girls I've ever seen!
