Evelyn's First Independant Step

Today is Jill's Birthday!  My lovely wife appreciates all the well wishes, cards, calls, and face book messages you all sent.  We are all blessed by your love and friendship.  As promised to a few, I want to share these videos captured yesterday.  Evelyn just decided she was ready to walk all by herself.  None of this holding on to people's hands stuff!

This last week Seattle made national news due to some unusually high amounts of snowfall and followed up with an ice storm.  Some on the radio and at work were calling it Snomaggedon 2012.  I worked from home on Wednesday, but managed to make the commute the last two days of the week without incident.  Jill took this pretty picture to the left on Thursday.  That pretty ice caused a lot of damage.  Lots of trees and bushes were broken by it's weight.  This caused many communities to loose power.  One of our friends we visited today still doesn't have power and no word when it might be restored.

Without further adieu, here are the promised videos:
