Video footage

Iines is in very amusing stage these days. She has lot to say and sometimes the flow is constant. I see a good use for the video recording feature of my mobile.

Did some testing last night as you can see from below. Didn't realise that I should hold camera horizontally before I saw the stream on the computer. Had to find a software from internet to rotate the image which of course resulted the black bars on the sides. Also the sound and image are not syncronised but we'll do better next time.

After all the most amusing part was to see Iines' reactions when watching the recording afterwards from my mobile...

Xmas

We're well on the way of establishing a xmas tradition by spending the eve with Otso's parents in Helsinki and then heading to Humppila for the rest of the time. This year we even had proper winter in Helsinki and in Humppila it actually was pretty cold so most of the xmas was spent inside where it was nice and cosy.

Iines is already keen to meet Santa but first it's ...


Christmas dinner.


Some of use even enjoyed a little bit of Finnish white wine.


The waited moment of the night, the arrival of Santa, was pretty exciting for most of us


Interesting presents and their colorful covers had calming effect.

In the countryside house was lot busier.
