Fun Video

So I spent all day yesterday working on the "broken" camcorder. I really wanted to watch the videos from when Lauren was little but didn't have an adapter for the mini DVD's and while Mike was deployed my camcorder broke, or so I thought.

I had called Canon twice before and looked up info on line about my problem with no success. I had been planning on buying a new one (ugh!) but thought that I would first see if there was any sort of adapter available on the Canon site. I ended up calling their help desk once again and got a great tech named "Bill". After spending almost an hour on the phone, he fixed my camcorder! I was thrilled.

I then started watching videos on the screen on the camcorder and futzing with the software that came with the camcorder when I bought it a few years ago. I downloaded the software but didn't think I had the cable necessary to transfer the videos to my computer. I spent some time searching through all the cords that I have and found the one necessary to connect the camcorder to the computer. I was so excited!

This had taken up most of my day but I was able to download 3 of my video tapes to the computer. After playing for a little bit I was able to pull out just this section of Meagan singing Georgia at the Hornedo Concert in 6th grade.

We watched some of the videos from when Lauren was little and she was very pleased to see that "yes, mommy did video tape you!" :-). I hope you enjoy! There will be more to come for sure!

Have a great rest of the week.
