    You really are a great videographer! My friend, in Arizona and myself, in Indiana both watched the video together and texted our thoughts back and forth. We both love the map. We were 1st grade teachers together in Arizona. We loved your travel videos and the baby. We agreed that we are inspired to travel again!

    Beautiful video Jeannine. Love how you told the story in front of your wooden map of your early years together travelling through those wonderful countries and the arrival of baby Xander. What memories! Your house is an amazing feat of work, patience, and exhaustion no doubt; but is stunning. Thanks for sharing. Hugs from across the world. 🇦🇺

    Loved the video. I was thinking, since it would be very crowded with all the tacks, how about cutting out a a piece of wood large enough (Long and narrow) to put by the window edge then poke the tacks in that of all the states and perhaps some of the countries you have been to. That way your map would not get cluttered but you would still be able to show all the place you have travelled. Just a thought. Have a Blessed day. BTW I notice Xander has had his precious smile since about 3 months and has been very talkative almost since he could make sounds. Just a wonderful look back.

    I think the pins would be a wonderful idea, perhaps even a way to transfer it into a memory wall. Even having a ribbon coming off of the pin to a picture of when you were there. Even Canada where he was born his baby picture on the end of that ribbon. You were born in PA so your baby picture from there, that type of thing.

They’re hikers and their goal is to visit as many (or all!) of our national parks as possible. They have a framed map with all their travels pinned on it. Really neat! This year-after 13 years of marriage, they’ll have a little traveling partner-our grandson was born just seven weeks ago 😊. I can’t wait to see the rest of your renovation. Happy Thanksgiving!
