Jen uses this software for their family blog, so I figured I could just copy her to upload pictures and videos to show what we are up to too.

I am just going to start with the last month or so, just so I get used to the software and stuff.
Anyway, this is from our last vacation. Helen is starting to look at career options.

Here is Helen and I at Disneyworld. Helen drove the car around the track. While driving she told me "Wow, this is really hard. You and Mom must really know what your doing when you drive!" Helen will be scheduled for lessons when she turns 21.


Next is Helen and I at Seaworld (Bonnie is taking all the pictures). Bonnie really loves this T-Shirt I like to wear that shows all the Swiss Cantons (NOT).


Next is a picture of Bonnie and Helen as we got ready for a real family adventure. More on this a bit later.


Our good friends from across the street, the Riggs, met us at Disneyworld. Their kids are twins, Owen and Una. They are about Helen's age. The picture gives you a good idea of Helen's "height advantage". Anyway, it was a lot of fun to do Disneyworld with friends, especially as Helen didn't always have to do Boring adult stuff.



Next up is a picture of me next to a B-26. We found this air museum outside of Orlando and it was great! The B-26 is an aircraft my father worked on in WW2. It was his favorite. This is probably the only air worthy B-26 in the world! We were really lucky to visit on a day when the aircraft were parked outside and not in the hanger.


Here is the first picture from our Family Air Adventure. More to follow.



Here is a video of the Family Flying Adventure that I made from the video clips I took on the camera.





Here is a video I made of the place we stay at. We bought flexible vacation property with Hilton Grand Vacation Club. Next year we will stay in a similar place in Hawaii for two weeks!




Next up, some recent pictures from Home!

First is Bonnie, doing what she loves best, playing the Oboe.


Next is a picture promised to Grandma of Helen posing with one of her new stuffed animals.


Now, more on the family's latest edition, our dog Shadow. He is a pedigreed Standard Poodle and is now about 10 months old. Helen did all of the pre-dog requirements we could think of (like walking a pretend dog for 3 times a day for 3 weeks without being reminded), so we got a dog. He is adorable.



Still Photos, don't really do him justice, so I made a little video of him. He is Helen's constant companion. When he is not with her, he just mopes around and cries a lot.





OK, well, that's it for now. I'll try to add a few things each week to catch up.
