I think whatever song that you feel fits-you pick-it will be a surprise to me.
I think that is so neat that Shannon and Shelby had the same Angel Bebe logo on. I am honored to have Shannon as Shelby's gurdian angel. THAT IS AWESOME!!!!
That is so nice of you to want to send the girls bracelets!! Thanks- they will LOVE them.
Victoria is doing the powerpoint...it's so good. She started w/ non survivors. She's doing 6 a page. It's cute. But it is going to take some time. I think she's done 3 pages( hyperlinked too, which I had no idea what a hyperlink was, but do now!!!)
I bet it is good.
What is a hyperlink?
How will we be able to see Victoria's work?
THANK YOU VICTORIA!!!!!!!!!
Kate- I want to try and make a video for Gabe. Where did you go to make it? I know you had mentioned it. Is it difficult or something you can figure out pretty easily? Any tips?
Something about clicking on a name and it brings you to their webpage. So she did it so that if you click on the childs name it should( hopefully) bring you to their gallery of pictures.
She's doing 3 small photos up top and 3 below. In the center is a adjective describing the children: beautiful, Amazing, Miracle....
we are gonna have to break out the thesauraus :-)
Lise, I love the way you keep your kids busy :)
Yep, put 'em to work for a wonderful cause!
Oboe lessons 2pm
Viola lessons 3pm
karate 4pm
Cherubs 5pm
:-)
truffles at 8pm!!!
Lise, can i send you a picture of Jacob to add to it. For some reason i can not upload one to this site.
I am also going to work on a photo slide show when Dawn sends me the photos on CD. I am annoyed that i have not got room in my laptop to download them all, as i would have liked to start it this weekend, at least i have something to look forward to.
Tania
Victoria is still sleeping. I have to find out what name she is on. I think she might still be on the B's :-)
Is he in the album??
I'm pretty sure that it didn't work when i tried to upload it and i had a look one day and couldn't find it.

It is superrr easy! All you do is upload the photos and re-arrange them how you want it. Your text screens will be black and white in one font though, you have to join However, I just found Windows Movie Maker on my laptop!! I have no idea how to use it! I might do Shelby's video on it, if I can figure it out, it will look better from the moviemaker!!
Lise, it awesomehow you have them doing that! They have to be some smart kids, becuase I wouldn't even knwo where to start!! Bless their little hearts!
Kate, movie maker is fairly simple. I found it was easier to rename all the photos in a folder first with the order you want the pictures to be shown in and it also saves you from using pictures twice. Each picture can have a different transition and you can also add comments or poems between pictures. You can also hae different video effects and have a title and credits. Jacob's Mothers of the Disappeared video was made with movie maker and it only took me two days and that was including working out how to use it. If you have any questions email me at darryltania@xtra.co.nz and i will help you as much as i can.
Tania
Kate and Tania- you guys make it sound So easy to make the videos. But I still think it would take me months!!!!!! Someday when things settle down- I have written it down as one of my things to accolpmish!!!!
Kate- how are you doing today? I know this is a hard time for you with Shannon's angelversary coming up. If you need anything-were all here for you. :D
Did you ever feel like you are being picked on? LOL. I was at church today and some older lady grabbed my hand and said "I just wanted to make sure you were married, and some day soon you'll have kids, you know." I have never talked to that lady before, and she knew nothing about Shannon or the miscarriage. I know she meant well, but it kind of knocked me down a couple pegs. Then another friend of mine told me how Shannon dying "is God's plan", man am I sick of hearing that!! Okay I'm done complaining! I am hanging in there, thank you for asking :)
Tania - I am going to email you, thank for helping me!
Kate- Ugghh, sometimes people mean well, and they have no idea that what they say has such a negative effect. There are so many things that people say and I just cringe and try really hard to smile and let it go. The two I hate the most are "you're still young, you will have more" or "everything happens for a reason". I have heard those two more times than I can count and every time I want to scream.
I am thinking of you and Shannon this week. Feel free to contact me if you need to talk or vent.
What a beautiful video! She looks like she sure faught hard. I love her little angel outfit. The video sends a great message, I really loved it. It made me cry too. We will be thinking of you this week.
When my dh told our wed.nite church group that we 'lost' 3 childrne...the leader said, lke a smart aleck kid, "lost? where did you lose them?" and then laughed.
If it wasn't church....:-)
Lise- WHAT?! Thats not even close to funny-what was he thinking? Wow, some people just amaze me.
YouTube finally set our page up (I still have to edit some of it). Now we are an official YouTube charity - which is a pretty big deal because it's tons of exposure and awareness, plus they are very picky about their charities.
http://www.youtube.com/cdhsupport
I guess you can all link to it now? I have no idea how. One of you YouTube experts will need to post directions please. :)
Hi Dawn, by the looks of it if you favourite a video it will link to the CDH support page. I can not see how to link up any other way but if anyone knows how to please let me know so i can link Jacob's other video up as i noticed that his Mothers Of the Disapeared video is already there.
Tania
I guess we just go to each other videos and favorite them. If I forgot any, please let me know!
That is totally AWESOME about the youtube.
Kate you have to put your video on it.
Some people do say things that don't make any sense. You just have to try and realize they mean well. At the time it does upset or make you mad.
I can tell you how many people have said, "well i think you should be trying this to get Shelby to eat by mouth."
If these people had any clue what you guys have been through and what CDH babies go through...I believe they would not say anything at all.
That's why it is SO important to get CDH awareness out there and this youtube thing is FANTASTIC!!!!!!
Corin-I am still thining about you and Kate you are also in my thoughts!!!
Corin- I sent your package UPS today and I hope you enjoy the clothes!!Let me know when you get the package, so I know it got there safe!
I saw you sent this to me. :-) Didn't thinkit was you...:-)
opps.
I gotta link Victoria on there becuae I know she messed up saying cherubs.org which is some organ donation thing. I didnt' catch it till I saw it like the 20th time...
BUt maybe I'll try to upload it to you later today.
Kate- had a blond moment....your video of Shannon is on there. I didn't go view all 13. It's been one of those days.
So, Dawn are you putting the videos on youtube?, or is this something we can do?
Thanks Stephanie-you are too sweet! I can't wait to see them :)
Lise - I get to meet my Pastor for the first time since we joined our church tonight. Can't wait to hear some of the "classic lines". I can't believe that guy said that to you though. That takes the cake of ignorant things to say to a bereaved Mother...
Thanks so much Corin and Steph - I have alot to do today, and it's my first day back to school tommorrow , but I will be emailing you both soon.
Dawn- I got the favorite add, I think I have to accept it? I don't know. I'll check it out further.
Kate-Good luck at school tomorrow. I hope it goes well.
Do you go to school for work?
I hope meeting your Pastor goes well. Yeah Lise-what that Pastor said-WOW!!!!
No, but I bet my work wants me to continue working for them! I am going for Biology, I am hoping to move towards genetics (for obvious reasons) If not that tecahing, if not that I will study dolphins (dream job!!!!) I am taking my laptop to work tomorrow, I am going to start Shelby's video using the Windows Movie Makers instead of the one true media.
LISE I GOT THE CHARMS - I LOVE THEM!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You're so welcome!!!
Kate, try to prepare yourself for some of those lines...It always helped me.
Like when someone says I'm sorry, I say me too. I used to say 'it's ok' and thought 'this is so not ok!'
I have had to justwalk away fromsome people ...but we dont' say lost anymroe :-) we do say that 3 died at birth and leave it at that.
I think that is so cool that you want to study dolphins Kate.
I say always follow your dreams.
How exciting your going to use the movie maker for Shelby's video!!!
I'm smiling again in excitement.
Grrrr.... frustrated! Ok, I spent all day yesterday working on a slideshow thingy for Gabe (instead of cleaning the house like I said I was going to :) ) and got it pretty much the way I want it. I found the song I wanted and tried to put it together and the file type of the song wasn't supported! Does anyone know if there is a way to convert the file type of a song? I think its b/c we downloaded it using Itunes and it downloaded it as a mp4 or something weird.
Sorry Corin, i do not know if you can convert a song file. Can you get the CD single of the song and load it into your computer? Or post the song you want here and see if anyone can email it to you.
Tania
Yeah, I'm sure I could download a compatible copy from somewhere other than Itunes-it would just suck to have to pay for it again. The song is Broken-by Lifehouse
Here is another question- on the movie maker is there a way to mute the video clips that I have added so that the music just plays and not the voices that were on the video? Still trying to figure this all out :)
I'm not sure about the muting of videos on movie maker as i only used photos for mine but i will find some video footage on this computer somewhere and try to work it out for you.
As for the song i will look through Darryl's music collection to see if he has it and i have some friends that i can ask for you.
I'll get back to you asap (probably tonight which will be early hours tomorrow morning for you).
Tania
Volume and muting instructions:
Adjust volume level
Adjusts the volume of the selected audio clip. By default, the middle setting of the slider corresponds with the original volume level of the clip when it was imported or captured.
Drag the slider to the right to increase the volume, or drag the slider to the left to decrease the volume. When the slider is moved all the way to the left, the audio is muted and not played back. The maximum volume is 15 times the original volume of the clip.
Mute clip
Specifies whether the clip is muted. When this check box is selected, the audio is muted. The audio clip plays at the specified volume when this check box is cleared. If the Adjust volume level slider appears all the way to the left, this option is selected automatically.
Hope this explains it for you.
Tania
Tania-Thanks! I got it- maybe I should try reading instructions once in a while ( I think I like to do things the hard way) :)
hey no worries, i would normally go the hard way myself. I have not got the song you want on computer but i have sent out a few text messages this morning to see if anyone i know has got it for you. Did you know that you can add written messages before, on or after a picture?
Anymore questions please feel free to ask.
Tania
Corin - are you using movie maker or onetrue media? It shouldn't matter if you are using movie maker what type of file it is? If you still having trouble, download Limewire. It's free. After you're done, unistall it. It is one of those free downloads that people get busted for, but as long as you are not downloading like a million songs and keeping them stored on your hard drive, I don't think you can get in trouble (I have been using it for years) Don't worry I didn't clean my house the weekend I made Shannon's video, Steve got over it after he watched it!! :D
I have started Shelby's video, I love it!!! All I have to do is add some text slides, honestly, I think I may remake Shannon's on the movie maker, it has so many more options (and I didn't have to pay for them LOL)
School tonight, Shannon tomorrow, hopefully Thursday or Friday I will be sending you the video Steph!!
how do you guys get this "movie maker" you are talking about? also, i have used one true media before..but i found there werent very many songs on there..is there a way to add songs to that?
thanks everyone..i dont always get this stuff!!
