It's Official

Well, almost official. Nicholas is a TEENAGER! How scary for Jeff and me! We celebrated his birthday a couple of days early because he is leaving for a week long scout camp the day of his birthday.

Michele's friend and mine--Sister Costco--makes great cakes!

He is sticking with the trumpet, so he got his very own, plus some books...

and this robotic thing. Here it is in the making.


and the finished product. Jeff named him MOV-E because it moves with a remote control and has a camera to make movies. He can steer it from another room because the camera connects wireless to a tv or computer and he can see where it is going and control it.

It has a long claw to grab at things, or people.
