'15/16 Week 32

This week was one of the saddest weeks we have had. A good friend of our family passed on. I shortened our school days on couple of days so we could go to see the family, pass our condolences, and attend the funeral. Andrew and Saara have been to a few weddings, but this was the first time they were at a funeral. I believe, they are now old enough to comprehend the sadness, the solemnity and reverence of the occasion, and the importance of supporting and comforting those who are mourning.

Science. Andrew mapping a magnetic field.

Strong winds had broken a branch with a bird's nest. Two chicks were dead but one survived. We made a nest for the baby bird. The next day, we found out the funny looking chick was a woodpecker baby. The parents found him and were feeding him.

Saara discovering that electricity can not only make light, but also sound.

Dewberry time has arrived.

Recent rains kept us away from the ball park, but we are back now.
