Climber Girl and Robo Boy

It's been a month since my last post, so it's time to add another.

The days have been passing quickly and everyone has things keeping them busy. The Brain took a job in Canada with a start date TBA, so he's trying to flush out everything he needs to finish while editing a book chapter he's been working on.

The Chief has been busy working on his science fair project. We salvaged some parts from an old answering machine and VCR to build a mini-robot. It was suppose to be light sensitive, but we had some issues getting the photocells to work. Right now it just moves forward. Here's the Chief and the Brain working:


The science fair was last night. Everyone thought the mini-robot was a success despite it's lack of light sensitivity. I imagine this is just our first adventure into the world of robot building.

As for Zu Zu, she's been taking a rock climbing class for a while now. She looks forward to it every week. Here she is climbing the big wall:



I have to say watching all of the kids in class is nothing short of awesome. It's been great to see her find something she can call all her own. Of course, the Chief wants a chance to try it as well now.

As for me, I'm just trying to keep the house and family from collapsing into chaos. It seems on the verge very often and I admit that I'm pretty tired these days. It's worth it though when I think of all the things we have going on. Everyone is happy and that's what matters most to me.

Cheers!
