Current Happenings

It has been very chilly here, and I feel the effects much more when we are at a football game at 7am! Ty played in Bedford this past weekend, and he could feel the cold too... unfortunately his team lost, but they all played a great game! They are now 2-3 on the season. Ty has been very busy with school, and is currently working on a project where he has to track the weather every day for the month of october and also keep a graph chart of what the weather was like that day (i.e. cloudy, rainy, sunny, snowy, windy) and at the end of each week he writes a paragraph or two on what he noticed in the weather pattern for that week, and what he thinks next week will be like, etc. Needless to say, it is a big project. He wrote his first report last night and did a great job! He also has the option to write an extra credit report (which Ty has opted to do) where he can pick any kind of weather and write a report on it... showing research methods and all. He has narrowed it down to investigating a tornado, or a Nor'Easter... which I'm pulling for, seeing as how it's a bit more relavent to our area... that and we'll probably be experiencing one before we know it! He is so enthusiastic about school, and takes such great pride in his work. It is really amazing to witness.
Nate has been full of life as always. He is enjoying all of his new toys, and his new pet fish! He has been working really hard with his dad building lego models. It has been their quiet time together, and they have built two of them so far. Both are Star Wars battle ships. Nate seems to really enjoy figuring out which piece goes where and sorting through them all. He is so proud of his models, and is currently putting them up high on a shelf for "looking at only". He is very concerned Brody may get one and destroy it. I don't blame him... I would be worried about that too. He is also continuously building with his Magnetix. I have to say the patterns and designs shock me. He has made such detailed designs, that I can only say look like intricate snowflakes. He is constantly changing them and is so proud of all his work.
Brody is talking more and more every day. His babbles have started to sound more like words, and his is so curious. He is getting more and more comfortable with walking, although I think he prefers crawling since he gets around so much faster that way. Brody gets so excited to see his brothers, and speeds off to follow them where ever they may go... not always to his brothers' liking.
