Pinewood Derby

George and Henry made their Pinewood Derby cars. George's car was a simple black block with googly eyes and won first place in his den! Henry's car was an homage to Popplio and won third place in his den.

Homework time

Guitar summit

Richard skipped this week's gymnastics meet to jam with other guitarists at the Denver Suzuki Guitar Summit. He learned a new technique (ponticello) and got an autograph from the author of his sightreading book.  His master class teachers complimented how beautiful his new guitar sounds (thanks to both grandmas for their very generous Christmas contributions toward the guitar!).

Here is one of the new pieces he played.

All I want for Christmas...

George's second front tooth fell out at last, so now he has an adorable toothless smile!

Titanic artwork by George

George's depiction of Titanic. Notice that one of the smokestacks isn't blowing smoke? That's because one of them was fake!
