LOTS OF SHORT DUPIN FAMILY VIDEOS TO CLICK ON BELOW! : )
I took a break from posting when Dad got sick. Now I've been avoiding it because I felt I needed to say something about his passing here on this blog. But I'm still too sad to know what to write. Hopefully everyone already knows just how much he was loved and is now deeply missed .....
But it catches you by surprise. At random something will happen to make you think of that person. A movie comes out on DVD I know Dad would have loved ("Charlie Wilson's War"). A day happens that reminds you of special memories (4th of July). Or your kids ask you a question and you wish that person was there to explain it to them. ("How did Granddad do his job at the bowling alley?")
In honor of his deep love for his grandchildren, the show will go on -- here are some recent family videos for you to enjoy. (Can you tell I'm missing my four boys -- in California and Nevada all week visiting the Dupins. I couldn't go because of work.)
(Sorry for the lousy sound on some of them... they were taken with my digital camera, so nothing fancy -- but you still get the feel for recent family moments! The one Doug took of Max "bombing the hill" is much higher quality.)
love Rebecca

First up -- Finn showing he prefers dancing to wearing diapers....
And now -- The Dupin Brothers Dance to OKLAHOMA! (apologies again for having to hear my voice -- bad enough in person when i sing... even worse on the camera mike!)...
And here are some highlights from the day Max became an adrenaline junkie....
Doug and Anthony were participating in a downhill skateboard race in DC and Max decided that week he wanted to compete by "bombing the hill" with his Big Wheel bike. (Thanks to Gran for getting him addicted to Big Wheels... but the downhill "bombing" -- well we all know where that idea came from!). Fortunately for me, Gus preferred to try various ways to bomb the grassy slope -- rolling, running and tricycling... much more my speed. Finn repeatedly tried to ride one of the skateboards, making for lots of work for me as I spotted him -- but very little real action for him.
BY FAR THE BEST VIDEO IS THE ONE DOUG TOOK OF MAX BOMBING THE HILL. IT CAN BE SEEN ON DOUG'S WEBSITE AT: http://exchange.acc-email.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.timeprism.net/videomaxonbigwheel.html
HERE ARE THE ONES I TOOK --
DOUG DISCUSSES MAX'S ADMIRABLE BOMBING:
MAX CROSSES THE FINISH LINE WITH HIS WINGMAN AND VIDEOGRAPHER DOUG:
"GUS BOMBS THE GRASS PART ONE: ROLLING"
"GUS BOMBS THE GRASS PART TWO: RUNNING"
(per his usual mode, Gus does provide sound effects as he runs)
"GUS BOMBS THE GRASS PART THREE: ON SKATEBOARD BUT AT MOMMY'S FAVORITE SPEED"
Watch out Gus! Daddy Bombs the Hill!
