This month we celebrated our 13th wedding
anniversary. Eric's aunt and uncle took care of the girls for us
and we headed off to Disneyland - ALONE - for the weekend! It was
fun to take in both parks at a leisurely pace. (OK, so the photo is not
current. That's us, the day after our engagement)
Eric passed Kathy's Disneyland test...
The girls performed at church with their respective choirs this month.
Each week, I assist Emily's kindergarten choir, and Kelly tags along.
She has been so well behaved, that she was invited to perform with
the choir! We were so proud of her, as she did just as well as children
two years older than her!

LEGO League continued and we are still enjoying the friendships that resulted
from this activity.
The AWANA Bible club we have been leading
ended this month. Kelly received an award for finishing her first
Cubbie book; Emily received an award ribbon for finishing her second Cubbie
book; Amy and Wendy received trophies for finishing their grade-level book,
as well as pins for finishing a second workbook. We were extremely
proud of all of their hard work memorizing Bible verses.

For many years, one of my hobbies has been
robotics. This led to my interest and fascination with Computer Aided
Design and Computer Aided Machining - the process by which you can take
a concept from design to finished part - all by computer. Last year,
I purchased a
Sherline
Mill and Lathe, along with a
Grifftek
CNC conversion. I have
started to document my learning process and that the best way to help me
learn, would be to document and share my experiences with others.
Today, I launched
Eric
Mack's hobby CNC web site,
which I hope will accomplish this purpose.
