We finally bit the bullet and bought a mini-van in January so we would have more space to tote both people *and* stuff. Kids love that they can have their own row for long car trips. And we love that we can haul things like a new bike for David easily.

This is our second year participating in the pinewood derby competition. David made a blue "jet race car" and Maddy made a gray mouse (with curly tail and a wedge of cheese). Once again, David made it to the finals, but unfortunately lost. He still had fun making his car and going to the big race.

The kids have been very busy with gymnastics, scouts and Kung Fu this spring.
In January, they had their mini-Olympics show, and did an overnight with scouts at the museum of Science.
In February, the kids learned about making maple syrup with their scouts troops.
In March, they did a Kung Fu demonstration.
