This is a special surprise for Brian! He’s probably dying as he reads this because he thought he was helping me post a podcast about increasing traffic to your blogs. 
Little did he know, I was scheming!
Brian’s birthday was on Wednesday, and instead of being home with us he had to go on a business trip to Marco Island, Florida (staying at the Marriott…tough stuff ). The kids and I made him a cake before he caught the red eye, and well, we’re really missing him today.
So sweetie, I know you thought you were helping me post the Blogging podcast, but we’ll save that for next week.
I love you! Come home to us soon, the kids and I miss you! (I think Blaze and Pascaline watched this 5 times before bed, they were really missing dad tonight!)
I’ve heard the golden rule for video podcasts on your blog is to keep it under 3 minutes. I had to fudge on this one since it’s all about the kids.
This is awesome! I totally didn’t expect this.
Love you honey.
Hey Brian – Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Brian!!!
That was a great party with a great cake! The cooks were pretty darn cute ^)^ love, mom and abba
Your kids are so cute!
I love how Blaze was echoing, “I love you, hon” in the background.
And Pascaline is so rational and disciplined in eating too much cake
You’re the best mama!

Thanks all for your birthday wishes and comments about my cute kids!
I’m glad to be home.
Thanks for all your great tips Me Ra!! I absolutely love the train pictures.
I’m still having problems viewing the video (with the exception of the first one – in the snow). If anyone has any suggestions for what to do when you see the Quicktime logo with a question mark in the middle (rather than the video box) please let me know!
Thanks,
Jessica
