Letting some of it trickle out while trying to soak it all in

Movies by my kids

 I love to see people's creations. You get a different view of someone's personality when you experience what they make. This is maybe especially true for those you know the most.

My kids and I have been making little home movies that we share on YouTube for just over a decade. They started out just as the stars, but now they are conceiving, filming, directing, and even (as of this week) editing their productions.

Here is a sampling:

Ingrid's Three Dreams (February 2012)

Tricycle Dilemma (April 2013)

Ingrid and a dead cow (December 2013)

Why Joseph Smith became a Mormon (July 2014)

Dancing in the Paris train station (July 2015)


John Henry went to the moon (August 2020). This is the first independent video creation.

Potato goes to the moon (December 2020). The long awaited sequel.

Scar Tissue cover (September 2021). This is one of our more elaborate collaborations. Rest in peace Jasmine, Aurora, and Gargamel.

An interview with Kay Bradford (April 2022). This is a different type of production--an interview with our nearly 100-year-old neighbor just months before she passed on.

3-year-old tries to trick DJI Mavic 3 Active Track (August 2022). This is Naomi's first solo creation.

Movies for Lucy episodes 1-3 (December 2022). The kids made these stop motion movies to cheer up their sick cousin.

A day in the life of three beans (September 2023). This is one of Caspian's first solo creations.

7 maybe 8 fascinating facts about guinea pigs (November 2023). And here is the newest creation that Henry edited this week. It was filmed back in September.

It is such a privilege to watch these children grow and grow with them.
