From your giggling daughter
January 8, 2009
I wanted him to see it first, but here is my late birthday video for my dad. My voice in the video may be the most annoying thing I've ever heard, EVER, but that is okay because it is not about me.
Dad, you are truly my hero. A man who has come through life with such faith in the midst of hardship is a man of character.
Also, please remember that Chinua, though my Superstar Husband, is NOT ME. Therefore, I cannot be held responsible for anything that comes out of his mouth. Even sung so beautifully.

That was amazing. I love your videos.
Can I just put in my request right now. My birthday is October 12. I would like a birthday video, too. This made me laugh...and helped to wake up.
I know I am a little silly, but this actually made me cry. So lovely, and so much love. I kept thinking of how wonderful it will have been for your dad to get this.
Who is teaching the kids math by the way?
Thankyou, you are wonderful, all of you.
I laughed and I cried. Sweetest thing ever. Happy birthday, Grandpa!
I had to laugh out load at this video! My husband came in and wanted to know what video I was watching that I was in!! You and I have been similarly cursed! We both sound EXACTLY the same and we both have the same giggle! It was eerie!!
Lovely!
That was the most awesome video EVER. Um, my birthday is May 5th. Just sayin'
Oh, I can just imagine your dad delighting in this loving birthday video. Funny and, well, just dear.
Oh my. Too great. Just too great. :)
Count me in on the criers. Speaking from one soon-to-be expat to another, I'm totally stealing this idea. Gorgeous and wonderful.
this is so darling!
I'm sure you only shared this with all of cyberspace because that was the best/easiest/most affordable way to get it to "Grandpa" but thanks for the treat!
Here's a thought: Superstar Husband may want to use addition instead of subtraction next time. Sounds younger to say "50 plus 10" don't ya think? (But since we're all enlightened and respectful of the wisdom that comes with age, I guess that's unimportant.)
What a joy filled video :) My birthday is Sat and I will be thirty, so I think that your video rocks even more because your dad is me times 2 :) I thank you for posting it on here ( even if its only so your dad can see it). It has made me very happy today. Happy Brthday to your Dad and many more !!!!!
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy birthday Terri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is awesome. What a fun birthday video!
Thanks for sharing with us!
Oh so fun! I cried too. Music, love & laughter will get me every time. Thanks for sharing this precious glimpse of your sweet family. Happy Birthday to Rae's Dad who is not named Jerry and I'm fairly certain is not 70 yet. ;-)
This is so wonderful! I bet your Dad loved it. By the way, your husband has a beautiful singing voice...any CD's? God bless...
That was really, really, really great!
lovely. beautiful. i was smiling from ear to ear.
Happy Bday to your dad! And your husband seriously does have a beautiful voice. Email me if he has a cd for purchase!
Rae! You are a birthday video genius! The part about the cow really got me. Kocani anyone? And this video is posted for your father and the world to see. Unlike one disappearing Happy Birthday Chinua video of epic proportions.
My love to you, your confused darlings and your dear Papa who holds a warm place in my heart and mind,
Joy
