He is missing from a lot of family snapshots because he is usually ahead of everyone else, whether it\u2019s on a hike or working on a project. He has a room full of baseball and piano awards which he has worked hard to earn.\u00a0 He has a talent for building and engineering, and lately he shows this by the many Lego Mindstorms robots we find around the house.<\/h2>\n<h2>He is a reader, often going through 2 or 3 books in a week. He likes to laugh. His favorite sports are baseball and skiing. He just moved to Utah in August and he loves that he can go skiing so often here.<\/h2>\n<h2>He is very musical. He has played the piano for 7 years and he just started playing the cello. He has won many awards for his piano compositions over the years.<\/h2>\n<h2>As a family, we would like to congratulate him on this award. We appreciate that he is a good friend and a dependable person. We know that he will do many more great things with his life.<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/DSC_9183.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6852\" alt=\"DSC_9183\" src=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/DSC_9183.jpg\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/DSC_9183.jpg 650w, http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/DSC_9183-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.angelaross.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/DSC_9183-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a>After the assembly, he got to skip class and eat muffins with the principal and parents.
