Violet definitely suffers from 3rd child syndrome. We have almost no video of her and very few pictures compared to the boys. What video we do have was taken on my cell phone because it’s the only way to share online with our family and friends who are far away, but it’s not very good. Our old camcorder is big, uses actual tape (horrors!) and cost a LOT of money back when I bought it as a Father’s Day gift for my husband the summer before we had our first son. 
Today’s camcorders are so much easier…and I want one. If I had the cash, I’d get a Flip UltraHD. I’d use it for videos of the kids and my husband could use it to make videos of houses he lists or use it to provide previews for people who are relocating to the area. It would be a much loved and useful addition to our household. It’s small, portable, connects directly to the computer, and records in HD. It amazes me how far technology has come in the 7.5 years since I bought our old camcorder…for a fraction of the price I paid for that dinosaur, you get something that is much, much better.
Santa, do you think you could leave a Flip UltraHD under my tree? I promise I’ve been (mostly) good!
