Aha!

I FINALLY figured out how to change the format of video from my new(ish) camera so that it will upload to Blogspot!

That means that the video of J's Christmas recital is now posted. You can see it here if you missed it in person!

BTW: A HUGE thanks to my Mom who took care of my kids for most of the day yesterday. We had a nice time out with our friends for dinner and a movie. "Hunger Games" was good, but between sitting in the front row with my neck craned, a mild episode of biliary colic following the greasy meal I ate, and sea-sickness from the shaky-cam cinematography, it wasn't the greatest movie theater experience of my life. Hope "Catching Fire" is a little smoother...and I'll eat a salad first!

Also, we got out the GIANORMOUS crate last night and put Kali and Stella in together. They were both quiet all night. Poor Kali was stiffly sitting leaned up against the side of the crate in the morning, while Stella was sprawled out in the middle of the cushion!
