Family Updates For April 2010
Here are the current happenings in our family:

Travel Group
I’ve done it again. I have waited too long to post and now a have a bunch of things I am behind on. I will try to catch things up in the next couple of weeks.
First, Hannah had her first roller skating party with AWANA. She invited two of her school friends to go with and they had a great time. I only have one
video to show and no pictures since it was way too dark in there. This is a roller skating rink that I used to go to as a kid. It looks exactly
the same as it did then! Apparently the rink is quite famous. A movie that I have never heard of was filmed here back in 2005. It was called “Roll Bounce”.
Sounds like a winner! Anyway, Hannah had fun and only fell about 20 times.
Next we had a “Gotcha” day reunion with our travel group. We met in Cincinnati for a lunch party and then a day in the park. It was an incredible day and all the kids had a
great time. Hannah got to meet the two sisters of one of her favorite buddies in China. And they were inseparable most of the day. We were so blessed with the
group of people that we went to China with. They are all amazing, good people that we hope to call friends for a long time.
Up next, Hannah’s birthday!
Goofy is as goofy does.

The Green Dragon
As promised, here is the update for the AWANA Pinewood Derby. Hannah did all the work on the car herself with
Jon supervising. She picked the style, the color and the decals. She was pretty proud of her results.
The little internet research that we did on pinewood derby cars apparently paid off since Hannah took
first place in all her races. Can you believe it? They dubbed her amazing car "The Purple Smurple".
We actually prefer the name we gave it, "The Green Dragon" — it has a much meaner sound to it.
Just check out the video to see how fast her car was. We also have a video of Hannah receiving her 1st place speed trophy.
Hopefully this love of speed will not carry through to her driving years.
Also, time seems to be flying as Gotcha day was one year ago today. I hope to do another post very soon of the
video from that day.
Enjoy the photos and videos.
