First day of School!

Home school that is. A fun first day! So far so good! Adley's in Kindergarden and Nathanael is doing 'some of Kindergarden' or pre-school really. Mom was going to start School Sept 1st, but Adley kept asking to start sooner, so we started today.

We started AWANA last night, it meets once a week, and Adley is a Sparks and Nathanael is a Cubbie. We get cool vests, Dad took a photo we'll have to get it up here soon.

Love the 2 big guys!

Last Update

The big rain ended about noon-time. The water in the road drained quickly once the rain slowed down. We never lost power. All and all a good storm. :) And our first hurricane - well tropical storm officially.

The 3 guys!

UPDATE

So it's been raining a ton. This morning water started coming in our front door so we had to put the storm window in. Dad even did the rest of the windows because the ones in the front of the house were dripping a little.

Dad had parked his car on the road away from the pine trees, except the road is filling up with water, so he went out to move it into the driveway. The water is deeper than his shorts.....he went to check the drain....it's not blocked...crazy!!

No ones driving down Ansie Rd today!

More updates later!

Love,

The 3 boys news reporters

(Our wind measure is a bust, the trees are dancing but our measurer is doing nothing. Oh well.)

Hurricane Irene

OK I think we're ready. Dad had us pick up all our toys in the back yard, and everything is stuffed onto the back porch.

We're going to track the wind too. We tied a yarn to the front railing tied to a bubble wand...(one of the heavier models), and we're going to track to see how many 'rungs strong' the wind is tomorrow. As it should be coming straight at the house. We'll have to calibrate our wind 'measurer' by what the officials actually track with their fancy equipment.

(yah, mom was a science nerd, and so we're doomed to be too. :) )

We'll keep you updated if there's anything good to report.

We're due for heavy rain/wind tomorrow afternoon.

So far: cloudy and light rain and 0 wind.

Love,

The 3 guys

FUN STUFF

So we've been busy. We went up to Memere's for a fun sleepover this week. And we visited a Granite Quary. It was very cool, we even made our own granite engraving using a diamond dust gun...very cool. The Quary was very amazing as well. Did you know that a cubic foot of granite weighs 160lbs. It's tough stuff!!

Then back home we went to the EcoTarium this Friday with cousin Jayden & Owen and Grandma. It was a free day to the museum and was pretty packed. Nathanael liked the train ride around the park the best, and Adley enjoyed the hammer head shark photo section. But they really liked a ton of it. Very fun day. A few photo's as well.

Well time to chill this weekend and with a hurricane approaching on Sunday!!!

Could be crazy!!

Love you,

Adley, Nathanael & Jeremiah

5 Year Check-Up!!

Just had my 5 year check up. Everything is great. I'm weighing in at 42lbs 9.6oz (60th percentile) and am 46" tall (95th percentile). So I'm tall, but that's no surprise. :)

More to come on our adventures of late!!
