Nerd!!

Austin has learned to play chess, which is great for a math brain, so I am told, I honestly cannot keep up with all of the rules!!!  But Eric and Austin really enjoy playing and he plays every Friday after school in the Chess Club.

At the end of each semester they have an awards ceremony and this year he got 1st place for all 3rd graders in one semester and 1st place in Bughouse in another semester.  You could go so far as to offer me money to explain to you what Bughouse is and I would wind up penniless as I still have no clue and he has been playing it for 3 years!!!!

Of course, our little guy HATES to have any attention focused on him, so it is REALLY hard to get a picture of him getting the trophy, so here is the best we could get.
