Kirk's father's Day Gift

O.K s the truth is that almost everyone and their brother has seen this before poor Kirk. I got it back from Red Thread Stories last week and it was just killing me to show it to someone.....

Kirk was really happy with it but never quite cried (o.k bawled) the same time I did ever 50 times I watched it before Father's Day. He's really happy with it and already has called family to talk about it. All guys are softies when in comes to their baby girls (finding that out pretty quick)

The main thing is that we hope Olivia enjoys it later in life when her mind is going a mile a minute wanting every ounce of her past before Mommy and Daddy. We WILL FOR SURE be bringing her back in 10 years for a visit, but this will keep her going over the first few years.

I have no connection with Red Thread Stories AT ALL except for the fact that Torrie brought our footage to life. I highly highly recommend having her make your Journey videos. I could have made a simple one myself but just getting it professionally done was worth every cent.

Here's the Magical DVD:

I did not expect to begin my day bawling like a baby- but oh the happy tears are the BEST! I had plans to use this company when ex and I were adopting Gracen- plan to use them with Macey too. Can't wait in fact!! Absolutely beautiful. Happy Father's Day to your hubby!

Okay, Debbie... I couldn't wait! So all four of us snuggled up together on the couch to watch... first of all, it was BEAUTIFUL! They did a very professional job- the effects were outstanding! And it was so cute when "Here Comes the Sun" came on, Sophie Lu recognized it from her video and started dancing, saying, "Like me, Mama, like ME!!!" Then when you were talking to Olivia while was in her swing, my husband said, "You guys have the same voice!" I said, "No... we just LOVE our precious girls the same way!" And we do... that was SO beautiful- it made us cry! Congratulations!!!

Love, Shana :)

touching beyond words. You did a great job capturing your thoughts during the whole process. Ours was so rushed.
A fantastic memory worth every cent to have it made so beautifully on video.

Breath taking video! You must be thrilled with the results. I am a blubbering fool...how could I not be after such evocative footage?

GREAT video! I really was hoping that you made it yourself because I wanted to know what program you used..unfortuantely I really don't think we'll be able to order one from Red thread stories but they do absolutely beautiful work! This is a keepsake you will cherish forever and your daughter will really appreciate it as she grows.
