I won’t believe this post’s title in six months time…
Nevertheless, it is warm and I am ticking away at the computer putting together a few images of Owen.
It all started with reading an interesting thread in an online forum regarding importation of old Nintendo game sounds into Apple’s GarageBand application. I know ‘nah-theeng’ about audio except how to bollocks it up, but this thread was interesting because it demonstrates a nifty Flash plugin for WordPress – the engine behind this journal – for sound files. Hey, I have some sound files of the kids taken now and then as they’ve evolved into little ankle-biter, nerve-gettin’-on, loud-makin’, super-cryin’, laughter-causin’, bodily-noise-creatin’ critters! And so I thought I take one of Owen reciting Baa baa black sheep (which undoubtredly some of you already know and remember), but accompanying the soundbyte with images taken then and now. It shows quite a contrast in his lordship as you can see below. May he slumber in peace and not wake from nightmares we induced by sitting him through Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory….
[audio:BaaBaaBlackSheep.mp3]This soundbyte was recorded in december of 2003, when he was a little over two years old.
And here are some images of him taken in July of that same year:
And here are some picsh of the lad taken just a few days ago:
And for the sake of comparison:
So these images were taken pretty much exactly three years apart. Nifty comparison.
Over and out.
I remember that sound bite very well – do one fo Owen saying it now! Good to her from you again.
I think of Montreal summers and sleeping under a sheet and still it was too much.
I really do love seeing these photos, I must say. He looks so grown up now, just like a little boy and not a baby. Gorgeous curly hair, too. I miss you guys terribly. Next year, I’ll come home for a long, long visit. Love, love, love.
