all about burke

Burke has been busy this week! He is so close to finishing up his Wolf requirements for Cub Scouts and will be able to get it and some arrow points in January. He spent some time learning about tools with my Dad when they were visiting, and was so excited to get this birdhouse kit in the mail this week (thanks Grandpa!). He put it together that very night and did a great job.

Here it is hanging in our backyard. Burke is hoping that a bird family will be our visitors this month:

Burke has started piano lessons (long overdue) with his favorite teacher and person (his Dad). He is doing really well and likes creating his own songs too.

He has worked really hard the last few weeks on a research paper and project about Ferdinand Magellan. I always enjoy learning new things along with Burke. He was really excited to learn how to use a needle and thread and sewed this boat by himself.

Burke loves to learn new things. Rob and I have noticed how much happier he is when he is challenged, and keeping busy working on new skills and accomplishments.

We also attended a pizza party yesterday to celebrate the end of his soccer season. His coaches had great things to say about Burke's good attitude and what a good listener he is.

Keep up the good work, Burke!
