The American Fork Years: September 1996

Bridget had been born just two weeks before, and Brad was in Europe for a 10-day business trip. I was alone with a 3 1/2 year old, a 15-month old, and a newborn. Whenever I watch this video, my stress level rises because it reminds me of how stressful it was to take care of three children born within 3 1/2 years. But it had it’s pros and cons. It was definitely easier in many ways than raising one young child with no built-in playmates.

By the way, I purchased a video converter that allows me to export straight from my analog video camera into Final Cut Pro on my Mac. It’s called DAC-200 Digital Video Converter, and is sold by Datavideo Corporation. It looks like the DAC-200 is discontinued, but they have newer products that do the same thing. I had no problems with my real-time import. Pretty cool.
