Ice Skating during February Vacation

February vacation was lots of fun. My trick to spend time with Helena is to take her out of the house. Otherwise she disappeared over to the neighbors to “play with the girls”.

A little bit more about Seattle…

As you may have noticed, I posted pictures of Seattle in my last entry. What you probably did not notice is that in at least one of the pictures I was holding a video camera. Where there’s a video camera, there often follows video. This is really my first opportunity to mess around with iMovie…
