Andrew has been 15 years old for a little over half a year now and I didn't want to forget all the wonderful things about what he is doing now in his life.  He seems to change so much every year and I get sad when I think that I only have 2 1/2 years left to enjoy him everyday in our home.  Andrew is so much more focused his Sophomore year.  I am pleasantly surprised with how hard he is working in school and with his swimming.  This year he is swimming with the Altitude Swim Club until the HS season starts in March.  He has loved being able to swim with some of his friends and has really enjoyed being on the team with coach Mike.  Andrew continues to love anything that has to do with the computer.  His latest passion is programming.  He is taking a Web Page Programming class at school and has to put in extra time to learn HTML on his own since.  After spending 6-7 hours at the beginning of the semester learning HTML he found himself with more knowledge than he actually needed and was teaching some of the kids in his class things they didn't know.  It continues to be one of his hardest classes but he enjoys it.  Andrew has been taking an AP class in Human Geography and although it is a pretty rigorous class, he has enjoyed the challenge and learning from Mrs. Brown.  She is a fantastic teacher.  German remains one of his favorite classes.  This year they got a new teacher who is actually teaching them how to speak the language.  He has already improved so much this year in his speaking skills.  He told me that he plans to take German all 4 years of high school.  

When Andrew is not at school or swimming he loves to play games like Minecraft.  He does love shooting games but we try and limit the amount of time he is doing those kinds of games.   He recently went out shooting with Mike and Peter and the Milner boys and discovered that he is pretty darn good at Shotgun shooting.  His aim was pretty spot on.  Since then he has also taken an interest in Air soft guns and likes to go out with his friends and play when he can.  

At church Andrew is currently 2nd counselor in the Teacher's Quorum and is one of my Sunday school students.  It has been such a joy to teach Andrew in my class.  He always has such great things to add to the class.  His humor is 10/10.  Andrew is so kind and loving even though he does get annoyed with his siblings.  His heart is always in the right place.  He adores baby Madeline and is never tired of holding her, picking her up, or playing with her.  He is a great older brother.
