An Army of Helpers


(45 seconds)

I couldn't resist recording this slice of time in the Lawrence household. Our monthly supply of five-gallon water jugs had just been delivered, but neither Kenny nor I was able to haul them in.

So I put every able body to work! The caveat was, Bethany had just had a seizure and was asleep on the loveseat. The task had to be completed in quietude; hence no narration from me.

Jen's narration notes

Jug haulers #1 in order of appearance:

  • Ashlee - hab therapist with extraordinary muscles from hefting her cello around campus
  • Max - his first visit at our house and I shamelessly set him to work and shushed him when he tried to talk!
  • Daniel - my favorite serf

Pan to:

  • Bethany sleeping - she looks like Sleeping Beauty with her flowing hair
  • Kenny hooking himself up to the Rife machine

Jug haulers #2:

  • Daniel J. - watch closely as he goes out the door and you'll see him cavort; he is a happy worker
  • Neighbor Liz - what a good heart she has; last time she hauled all the jugs by herself

Enjoy the parade!

  6. @Mom - Too bad I didn't remember that quote when I wrote the post. I would have used it as the video title!

    The one I chose didn't show up...I called it "Juggling." :)
