media challenged

okay so we are at the fabulous beach ... & like so many times before, i am capturing AMAZING moments of our girls

in years prior i have been able to ...
use the Sony Cybershot
capture TONS of pics
upload to the Macbook
edit/crop/organize
create mixed-media videos as seen here ... and here... and here

this year i am able to ...

use the Sony Cybershot and my new Canon DSLR xTi

capture TONS and TONS of pics

upload to my dad's old laptop (PC) :(

save to my external hard drive

email good ones to David, because i can't crop/edit/enhance them :/

which means, this year Daddy doesn't get to see all the fabulous things his girls are doing and how terrible we miss him. i know it seems silly but david and i spent a lot of great summers waiting to get to 'the beach' counting down the days, driving back and forth, whatever it took ,for whatever we had, even if was only a day or two, it was worth it. so every time i climb over the dunes i remember when we came out in Oct of 03, 2 months before he proposed, right after the hurricane to see how much damage there was, or when we were in the ocean after the hurricane in 04 or when the Duke boys came out with us, or all the Easter weekends we celebrated or tears we cried because we laughed so hard... the beach is about family & it began with mine and blossomed into ours, so i miss him, terribly. these videos i made the last 2 years, were more of a way to give him a piece of what i was sharing with Faith and now with Isabelle... so i'm a little bummed.

but it is the beach... and there is nothing better than beach therapy, except when you get to enjoy it with the greatest love of your life. miss you.
