Special Songs....

So today, Jason, Rory and the boys went to go swim in the mountains (but my bike broke down on the way, and the last I heard they were having it fixed and then heading off to the mountains), so I was going to spend the afternoon scrapbooking - instead, I started looking at the youtube videos!

I still have to figure out how to add them from youtube onto here, but for now you can follow the link to the songs and take a listen...

Jason and my song "Woman", by John Lennon http://youtube.com/watch?v=PaLfDnShEn0 - it is such a beautiful song. It was our wedding song that Jason actually sang and played (on guitar)for me...

Each of the kids have their own songs, which I would sing to them when they were still in my tummy and when they were born, right up until this day, I still sing them their little song.

When Willow-River was born, he had quite a difficult birth, and he was crying so much when he came out, and Jason just followed the nurse around and sang him his song "Jamaican Farewell", sung by Harry Belafonte, http://youtube.com/watch?v=uX5mNnJUcRY and it stopped his crying straight away! This worked for quite a few years with him too. Everytime we would go somewhere in the car, or he wanted to go to sleep, we would sing his song, and within seconds he would be asleep!

Talis-Rain's song is "Dream a Little Dream", sung by Ella Fitzgerald, http://youtube.com/watch?v=xV7rQlbjr7w and Keanu-Storm's song is "Baby Mine" sung by Bette Midler, http://youtube.com/watch?v=rwVLeHyiKJE and was used in the movie Dumbo.

Asia-Faith's song is "You Are My Sunshine", sung by Emmylou Harris and Glen Campbell http://youtube.com/watch?v=o57SI9nK7bQ - this song was chosen by Talis-Rain, and Asia-Faith loves hearing it, she even tries to sing along and will usually fetch her "baby" and rock her - too cute!

Enjoy the pics...
