Last night, our little friend, Jenna from next door came over and spent the afternoon with Lorena and the kids. She went to Christian’s guitar lesson and the YMCA with them. When they got home, Kelly was supposed to dissect a big (about 10″) worm for her Biology class, but was a little squeamish. It is a good thing Jenna had experience at such things. It turns out she had dissected a frog and actually enjoyed the experience. So, the three of them went out onto the back porch, dissected the worm, took a lot of “interesting” pictures, learned a lot, had a great time, and are now looking forward to doing the crayfish (a big one, too), and the frog they have in their science kit in the next few weeks. I will spare you the photographs here (Kelly put them on Facebook).
After dinner, Christian and I went up stairs to finish the radio. He actually did all the work while I did a little programming, scanned in the Betty Blonde comic, and looked on. We have to get some resistors to simulate the antenna load before we can turn it on, but it looks very cool. The pictures below are of the finished (but not yet tweaked) radio. While we were doing that, Lorena was rifling through some old pictures and found the two above shots of the kids drinking hot cocoa. I think We thought we should share them.
