Science Fair projects. So far, this is a little bit of a failure, Because its TOO successful?? Rockwell had our friend Charles J Gantt help him design and 3D print out some bridges for his science fair project… Well.. so far, we can’t break them! Even the ones that are made out of PLA ( “Polylactic Acid” a bio based decomposeable plastic) are holding over 275 pounds so far! Rockwell is sort of scared to be around it at that weight.. and I don’t blame him. We will be taking it outside this weekend and Iwill help him near the end… I don’t want it falling though the floor when it gives way. smile. They are 300mm wide with 3mm thick walls if you are wondering. Charles.. we might have to print out some 2mm thick ones?? Maybe you can test that new manufacturers product for them!!
Pictures to come. 🙂

Melinda acknowledged in the school for her Writing. All of the schools in North Augusta competed for this.. Its not a small honor.
8th grade North Augusta Middle School student, Melinda Elser, was selected as the Martintown Road DAR Chapter winner. She will read her essay and be presented with an award on Tuesday, February 10th at Fairview Presbyterian Church at 4:00. Her essay will be entered into the state DAR competition this spring. Congratulations Melinda!

A good Friend of ours, Mariya, is taking care of a ranch while the owners are away, and invited us over to check out the animals. It was really fun!
Hannah had a lot of friends, as long as she had some clover in her hands.. lol. Not sure if this is a cow or the bull.
Hannah and Rockwell checking out a rooster. Sort of surprised they managed to snag a farm rooster.
Melinda with some new friends..
Another Friend. 🙂 She Got to Ride the horse later in the day. Sort of.. lol.
These little lambs are so sweet.. Why don’t people have lambs as pets?
They also had an abandoned house on the property that the kids did some exploring in.
Who does not like to explore an abandoned building??
But she makes it so easy.

Way to Go Melinda! This does not surprise me though.. When I read it before she submitted it, I said to myself.. “hmm.. this could win”..
You make me proud!
And then, I go in and review her grades. What parent wouldn’t like to see this in their kids Math (algebra) class. How blessed can this simple dad be? Are there any limits? I know it wont last forever.. but trust me, am basking in it for the time being.
🙂
And its not just Math.. She works hard for good grades in every class.
I love your School ethic Melinda. You are awesome.

The kids say hello to 2015!
Something I found on the table today.. Rockwell has a little holiday homework he was working on. I thought it was neat that he does his homework in cursive.
Christmas morning!
Christmas morning…#2. I suppose I should take a picture of the Tree before I take it down next week.

This was from the solstice party at the Flecheks.
Check out the spread! They know how to cook.
