Reviewing Family History

I'm having so much fun dubbing my 8mm tapes of the girls over to DVD's. I guess we have about 20 tapes that start back to 1991 (everything I have before then is on VHS). I've done 4 tapes and each tape takes 2 DVD's to copy over. It's about an hour on each DVD. We finally learned over the years to NOT set the camcorder up on the tripod and let it run (so boring!) We prefer just quick videos and it's much more fun to review them later! It's so fun to look back at the girls when they were little and the funny things they've said or done. The funniest one so far is when Kaitlyn was about 3, she used to wear her one piece bathing suit backwards and get up on the coffee table with a microphone and sing along (karaoke style) to Celene Dion and Whitney Houston at the top of her lungs. That one kept us laughing for several minutes! I can't wait to keep going to review the rest. It will take some time (which I'm out of for this weekend - have to go to work in several hours) but it will be fun. I even had some video of my grandmother before she died and of Joe's grandmother reading to Kristen when she was about 3. It's nice to be able to slip the DVD into the player and watch it on our big screen TV. The quality is great and the audio is too. I'm very impressed with my christmas present. It's a Sony Multi-function DVD Recorder VRD-MC5 (for those who might want to know).
