Lucas' First Pinewood Derby

2nd from left, Green, Orange & Blue

Lucas and Tom built an engine-less cart that was raced on a short, steep track. Tom educated Lucas on principles of physics to improve speed and reduce drag. Lucas designed the color scheme. No wins this year, but a good overall experience.

All the Way from Delft...

Over Columbus Day weekend, our dear friends Elena & Ko came to visit us in Connecticut. We enjoyed Clyde's Cider Mill, Mystic Seaport, & the Cliff Walk in Newport, Rhode Island. It was AWESOME to spend time with them. We introduced them to pumpkin carving- Halloween is not a Dutch celebration.

9 Months...

Camryn at 9 months- constantly in motion and getting into EVERYTHING!

Camryn hit the 8 month mark in September. She accompanied me on a trip to the Seattle, Washington area to visit my long time friend and former college roommate, Amy Molen (Fowers). Amy and Rick's daughters are Sophie (2 1/2) and Mazie (10 weeks). Amy & I hope that Mazie and Camryn will be roommates in the future!
