Marching on

We've had several days of beautiful winter snow, but none that really hindered us much as the lane and roads melted it quickly and did not become icy, for the most part.

Mrs. Cardinal hiding. Mr. C flew away.
 Nor did the weather interrupt Stephan's sap gathering process from some 61 trees. Of course not, winter is his favorite season!



The syrup boiling continues even now with the amazing contraption he put together. (Don't miss the link to the interesting video.)  Here's a sample of the results.


We get updated reports every week. Speaking of Monday Night Dinner, here's an after-dinner Jiu-Jitsu move Jasmine is trying to show Stephan. She will soon be teaching self-defense classes and missing our dinners.


A  Memory Monday pic of the week goes back some 47 years to 1974 in Austria, a team excursion to Hohe Wand for some rock climbing. And there was little Leah in her stroller and big brother Stephan intent on something (?).


Perfect segway to talk about Leah's next health journey procedure Thursday--an exploration of the entire GI tract. This is the only photo she allowed. I think her little purse is so cute.



Leah did not feel a thing, except anxiety before the event, and went home with plenty of photos, not suitable for this blog ;-) Everything okay, only a couple areas that require further attention.

Meanwhile, the members of PhyXTGears are very attentive and busy preparing for competition, finishing and perfecting their robot.




Are they listening to one of Mentor Mike lecture on pneumatics or electronics, or watching a recent district match?


Mentors from a neighboring town came to observe our newly named Horsepower. Team 447 only has six students so they are working closely with our team #1720.  



You may have noticed that for lack of photos (only four I took), I borrowed a good many for this post. But let me close with one of my own--the calendar I put together for the family (that hangs in the beautiful frame Stephan made) now indicates the passage into a new month!


We have much to look forward to in March! Stay tuned!
