I wrote briefly a couple of posts ago about how Troy and Annalie & Bug picked lemons by shaking the tree and gathering them off the ground. Brenda took a short movie of the lemon-tree shaking that is pretty funny. She shared the code with me so you could enjoy it too. Look out below!

Get it? I crack myself up.

The bottle contains homemade vanilla extract which we’ll be giving to various people for Christmas. So a few of you seeing this photo might be getting a sneak peek of your Christmas present. Oops. Uh, forget you saw this.

In other news, Annalie received a little gift in the mail today from Brenda and Bug: a snow globe soap! Annalie loved it. She was so excited she immediately asked if she could take a shower, right after we filmed a short thank-you video.

Today as we were sitting at the table eating leftover chili for lunch, Annalie announced that she needed me to get my camera. “I want you to take a movie of me singing a song for Daddy to let him know I love him and miss him. Then you can put it on a DVD and mail it to him!” I suggested I could just upload it to the internet instead and then he could watch it tonight, instead of having to wait a week for a DVD to arrive in the mail. She decided that was acceptable.

P.S. In case you’re wondering, we did make it to the awesome waterpark yesterday! Photos are here.
