I suddenly noticed the absence of Thomas the tank engine videos in our home. It must have been two years since one of those played, maybe more. With the kids now 11 and 7 years old I shouldn't be surprised. What else is now out of our life? The "Cars" movies, thank god.

Sadly, I think it's also time to sell our "Weehoo" trailer. With both kids riding independently, no need for the bike trailer even if it was by far the best on the market.
