Dancing and singing fools

Erin made up this song (or plagiarized it from someone) for when Maggie stands up. Of course, Maggie loves to dance, so when Mama starts singing, this is the reaction.[MEDIA=6]
I said a while ago when I put up the first video that I had a number of people to thank. First, there’s a couple in Boise named Kevin and Renee who have a blog Erin happened to discover one day. It’s purpose is much the same as ours, although the technical skill behind it far surpasses my own (apparently, Kevin is a web designer and has his own company). While reading their blog, Erin noticed they were able to post video and asked what it would take for us to have the same capability. I wasn’t sure but I liked the idea, so I took a closer look at Kevin and Renee’s site. Turns out, they use some software developed by a guy named Jeroen Wijering. This Flash Media Player is sort of the bedrock for the video we have made available for your viewing pleasure. The other part of the picture is a WordPress (the people who provide the blogging framework for this and hundreds of thousands of other sites out there) plugin called wordTube developed by a guy named Alex Rabe. So, in addition to Kevin (who even took the time to respond to an email I sent him), I have these two really cool programmers to thank. They not only made video on RaisingUs possible, they also made it free (although as soon as we come by a little extra cash, I plan on satisfying my ‘don’t get anything for free’ ethic and sending them some mullah). (There were other things I needed to buy, namely some software to edit videos and cut out the less than interesting parts, but that had nothing to do with the actual ability to post them.)
Hats off to you, gentlemen! You have made some grandparents, other loved ones, and friends VERY happy.
