I CANT BELIEVE IT! My son?

Ok, first of all I know I haven't done very well keeping up on my blog. It has to do with something called "life". I have a bunch of things to post and promise to get to them very soon. I ran out of room on my memory card in my camera so I have to download them soon or I cant take anymore pics.

Anyway, I just needed to share my excitement and brag a little. I just finished filling out Spencers application online to take the SAT test in Jan. We recieved a letter from his school saying that because he scored so high on his End of Grade test last year that Duke University has invited him to take the SAT test as part of a talent search they do. No this doesn't mean that he's going to skip to college although I bet he wishes. But it opens up ALOT of doors for him in the future. They have trips that they take. Some of them being a creative writing course held at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico, an e-studies psychology course, an independent learning Algebra course, and a tropical ecolgy course held in Costa Rica. He will attend ceremonies at Duke University and most importantly this will go on his applications for college. He shares our excitement for him but he's VERY nervous about going to the high school to take the exam with all the high school students preparing to go to college.

Anyway, I'll keep you all updated on his progress. I just had to share. It has already blown my mind that MY son has been an honor roll student for the last 3 years. Also, he's had pnomonia for over a month and still managed to stay on the honor roll. I dont know how he does it. But I'm VERY proud of him.

I should mention also, this is Asher's first year with letter grades and his first report card was all A's and B's also. They must get the brains from Mike.

Well, I cant keep my eyes dry while typing this from tear of joy. So I better end before I short out the keyboard.
