Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

Hey, Dad! This year we're going to deviate from the standard birthday card. And why not? We have the technology. We're all in the following video, although most of it is dominated by the kids. Sage, in particular, wanted to show you a book she made for Lucy, and I didn't have the heart to rush her, so the whole video is about twenty minutes long. In other words, grab a bowl of popcorn and get comfortable before you press play.

A word to other relatives: Mom--there's some messages in the video for you, too. Siblings--none of the video is directed at you, but if you want to see the kids being very much themselves, have a gander:



[Note that when Sage shows her book, she doesn't have dyslexia--I set the camera on "mirror" so that the kids would be able to see their own movements, but as a consequence all of Sage's fine lettering reads from right to left.]
