While on vacation, I've reviewed all my existing footage (mostly from China, but with some more recent stuff too) and started constructing little movies. I have about a dozen projects in various stages of completion. My goal is to post a new movie every Friday -- little Flicks about my Chicks.
I'll mix it up -- sometimes a movie on adoption; other times a video about the girls today (I don't want Zo Peep to feel left out). Concerning my in-China movies, I've decided to do a lot of short little vignettes instead of one large epic. I group video around different themes/subjects -- My helpful sister, Me and Libby, my travel group, the beauty of China, etc.
The first one is the shortest one of all -- the first time I saw and held Libby Doodle Doo. I got to the matching room 15 minutes earlier than we were supposed to arrive. The agency/orphanages had already started matching. Since many families were not yet there, I was called almost immediately. I literally dropped the camera and my sister picked it up and continued filming (I edited the drop out of the final cut).
I hope you enjoy.

So beautiful. Such a treasured mooment in time. So glad you captured it on video. Your sister did a much better job than my Mom. We have great video of my Mom's feet (she was so caught up in the moment).

Made me cry, too. Thanks for sharing.
I'll never, ever forget that feeling of meeting our daughters for the first time. I still can't watch my own gotcha day video without breaking down into a weepy mess.
