Last weekend Chris took some photos of the kids while they were playing in the tent we’d put up in the yard. Simon had actually requested he come out and take some photos of his shadow.
While he was out there Anna started doing a little dance, as she likes to do from time to time, and he took a bunch of shots in a row of her moves.
When I loaded them onto my computer I wondered what they would look like if I added them into iMovie. Here’s the silly, 12 second result:
Dancing In The Light from Ali Edwards on Vimeo.
Hope you have a wonderful light-filled weekend!






















How precious this is, she is quite the dancer. How wonderful that Simon thought to want pictures of his shadow. Thanks for sharing this with us, it made me smile. Have a wonderful weekend also Edwards family.
Absolutely love.
This is too wonderful!
this is just so cool! What a sweet little dancer
oh my, that is so sweet!
Priceless
Very cute.
Reminds me of those old pictures people hung on the walls of their profiles in the old days.
awesome! you’ll be so glad you have this someday
What a great idea to string along the photos into a video. So sweet.

Ali that movie is great. How sweet

Thank you for my Friday morning smile. Adorable.
That is a precious moment captured! What a blessing!
so sweet,moments like this stays in your soul
thank you for sharing
Too cute!
That is so cute and lovely ! Thanks for sharing this sweet moment.
I think what stands out for me is that Simon knows memories get recorded in this household. And all memories are important.
Beautiful silhouettes, Ali…brightened my day!
That is awesome!!! Have you sent a link to your video to Izzy (from IzzyVideo) It makes me think of the “motion scrapbooking” he’s always talking about
)
LOVE IT!!! Priceless.
Aww! That is so sweet!
So adorable!!!!
Simply precious!
Adorable!
I love it! And aren’t you clever to think of iMovie! (that’s a dormant program in my Apps folder…)
oh my goodness, just too sweet!
I cannot ever help myself when you post stuff like this; I smile as though they were my own grandchildren. Ali, what a model family you and Chris have made. Truly what, for me, defines “family values” in all that you do. Enjoy, enjoy, in joy!
Simon’s shadow reminds me of Peter Pan
Anna is Wendy off to help the lost boys of Neverland
Thanks Simon and Anna for trip back to my childhood today!
Cheers,
Jan
Very cute!
SO COOL. love the video.
One of your best posts! Love it!
aww…so sweet! Love that you strung together the static shots to make a mini movie. Reminds me of my baby girl, she too likes to dance with her whole body using those arms of hers!
Awesome Ali ! I’m trying to figure out a way to get still images out of my imovie videos…glad to know they go the other way too!
What a wonderful way to remember this sweet memory!
thanks for sharing
Thats so great! Love it!
Awesomeness!!!!
Well that’s just the cutest thing ever!
so. cute.
fantastic
I wonder if Simon was worried he would lose his shadow if his dad didn’t take a picture of it (like Peter Pan did)…Adorable and how thoughtful of him. Love the video of Miss Anna dancing! Reminds me of my own daughter when she was two storming up the stairs to the stage in an auditorium after her sister got finished dancing.
Very sweet and koodos to Chris for capturing this memory…
That is awesome!!
Absolutely adorable!
What a wonderful memory to capture on film and the video turned out beautiful! How fun to watch her dance via photos.
That is too cute for words!
You come up with such great ideas.
That was beautiful!
Priceless!
This is beautiful – love these movements that only little kids seem to be able to make!
