There is a new little Gerber baby in town...
On January 25, Chad & Kaitlin bucked the boy trend that has been going on for 9 straight years. They have themselves a sweet little girl named Cheyanne Avigail. She will be much loved by her 6 boy cousins and/or brothers! :)
We've had quite the interesting winter weather again this year. Yesterday we woke up to a record high temperature of 14 C...it had been raining during the night... all the snow was melted away...
This morning we woke up to howling yowling winds and blustery snow billowing through the streets and yards. I'm more than content to stay home and indoors today...
Now this is what typical winter weather usually looks like around here. A blanketing of snow. And the hot tub in use...
School wise...Max has been busily working on a group project with three other classmates. They are learning about pulley systems so their project consisted of building a castle (out of junk, I think?) and designing a working drawbridge. For the past week, he has been coming home from school with shirts full of black paint. It all makes sense now...
I was very impressed with what they came up with...by twisting the pencil below, the drawbridge lowers and rises at the front of the castle. It is all attached with strings/pulleys. Smart! I don't think I would have come up with that. I should probably go back to school. Would I pass grade 4? YIKES! Scary thought!
Each group had to draw names to see who would take their castle project home. Max was picked for his group. He managed to march home with it, through the blustery snowstorm. and have everything remain intact. Excellent engineering! ;)
