Do what you can. Or, let technology do it for you!

The best of intentions still seem plagued by life's realities that as usual, have a mind of their own. So instead of devoting a few of my apparently weekly (or more-like fortnightly) posts to trying to update you on the events (or even just the highlights) of the past year, I'm going to let technology step in to alleviate my guilt at not being able to write long, descriptive, hopefully enjoyable-to-read posts.





Enter, the Flip video! For those few of you who have yet to discover the world's simplest camcorder, it really is a blessing for new parents - it's somewhat rugged (ours has been carted to Austria and back, been dropped numberous times and functions with blueberries shmooshed in its buttons) and simple to use (you can't get any easier than a big red button that means start and stop and two arrows for everything else)






I will get back to writing eventually. Soon even, I hope. But for now, short clips and captions of moments captured on film.





We will start more recently, at Thea's 1st birthday. Celebrated in Innsbruck, Austria with one of her favorite activities - swimming.
