Ted's exciting 2009

Ted's year has been one a growth. He turned 8 and has really enjoyed moving on to Third Grade. He was named an Eagle Excellence Award winner twice and also received a "Do The Right Thing" Award after he and a classmate took the initiative to help clean up their school.

He's now a Bear in Cub Scouts and took part in the spring campout. He spends a lot of time with his developing love for the piano and began taking lessons.

His love for reading has advanced to the Harry Potter books, and he still has a great love for all of the Magic Treehouse books as well.

Among his favorite activities of 2009 were the family vacation trips and attending the Miley Cyrus concert with mom in November. He finished the year with what's becoming an annual tradition for Ted as he took part in the kids choir for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Weathervane.
