Son's Skills Abound

As you know Spenser can play some drums and he continues to awe us with his musical talent.  Yes he has typical tendencies of an 11 year old, like playing video games for hours on end, but he can also pause the game at any time and sit in on a song with a seasoned guitarist and play a tune, even if he's never heard it.  While Rob and I might take weeks or months to learn a song, Spenser can master it in days.  Oh that youthful little bugger!

As tickled as we are with his musical inclinations, we also are proud of his academic accomplishments.  He continues to earn straight A's in the 6th grade, and recently was one of three winners in his class for his science fair project.  Here he is with his project called "Sub-Zero Substances."  


I'm not really sure about the science of it, you'll have to ask him.  But here is his ribbon!



He's also pretty good at basketball!  League started this week so here's a video highlight of his skills on the hardwood. 

 
Although they didn't win, Spenser had a great defensive game, leading the team with 6 rebounds. That's our Buddy!
