Eleanor’s First Year (Video Montage)


Eleanor’s First Year (Montage) from Nicole Balch on Vimeo.
Music: “(You Don’t Know) How Glad I Am” by The Living Sisters.

I’ve finally finished the video I wanted to make, so that’s one more item crossed off the 30 Before Thirty list. I’ve also had prints made of my many, many photographs to be put in albums, so that takes care of another! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video. Brandon and I do, and I’m sure my mom will like it.

    That’s such a precious memory of Eleanor’s first year. Best wishes for many more joyous years! And congratulations again on the new bean.

    Our little ones are very similar in age – Ellie was born April 21, 2009 and we’re expecting baby number two around March 4, 2011.

    I think that was just precious, and it brought a wee tear to my eye. My own little one turns one this week, and I am sure that she too cannot know just how glad I am about her.
