My name is Robert Ethan Keller, and I am 11 years old.  I live with my family in Baltimore, Maryland, and I am in the sixth grade at school.

Most of my friends call me "Keyboard".  Guess it's because I love to play (or sing) music so much.  (I play the organ and piano; I've played the organ since I was nine, and the piano, since I was six.  Took lessons; am pretty good now, if I do say so myself).

I also love baseball.  

I play baseball every spring and summer on a Little League team called the Rough Riders.  On the team, I am either the catcher or the outfielder.  I do both positions well.  I love it.

Some of my best friends are on the team right along with me.  Let's see.  There's my best pal, Robert (Shooter) Quinones, Garrett (Slam) Gomez, Danny (Games) Canfield, Lillian (Lightnin' Lil) Peterson, Oscar (Ox) Eubanks, Brian (Bull) Jacoby, Kenny (Knuckles) Deutchman, and the runt of the team, Parker (Pee Wee) Rogers.  We rrange in age from fourteen down to six.  You can probably guess who Pee Wee is.  (Yep, he's the youngest, and definitely, the smallest member of our team! :) )

I like spring and summer the best because that's baseball season.  Hopefully this year we will have a winning season.  Last year we sucked big time.  We were horrible!  We ended up in next to lsat place.  Think we won two games.  Let's face it: we stunk!!

We did miss some school last week, thanks, in kind, to a blizzard.  We just went back this past Monday, and there's still quite a bit of snow left over.  We got over 2 1/2 FEET of the stuff.  It was really bad!

My family consists of my mom and dad, my little sister, Colleen Marie (she's six), my baby brother, Ashton Michael (he's one), and our big sister, Eileen Morgana (she's thirteen).  Two boys and two girls.  Just the perfect size family, if you ask me.

I get along with Colleen pretty good, but I get annoyed at Ashton because he's always into my stuff, and Eileen is mondo bossy.  She's always getting me to do her chores on top of mine; if I don't do them, she's always threatening to pound me!  Drives me crazy!!

When I am not playing baseball, I like to watch tv (sports), read (horror books, mostly, but I also love sports stories), draw, write stories (I don't do the poem thing; I'm not a poet!), play video games, or play football and soccer (those just for fun).  I also love to swim or snow ski.  I'm a very active boy; always have been.  In addition to all that, I love my music, as I mentioned previously.

We go to church on Sunday; we're Baptists.  Sometimes I play the keyboards there if the regular person is out sick or out of town; I always get a thrill playing for the people who come to the church.  If I don't end up being a professional baseballer, I'd like to go into music and become a top keyboard player.  That's one of my goals.

I know with God's help, I will make it.  I have the determination and the drive.  :)

I accepted Christ into my heart at age eight.  I did it at church camp.  My parents are saved, too.  They said they accepted Christ when they were in their teens.  Church is one of our big things; we are very involved (that is, when I don't have my sports games and stuff!).

Well, that's my story.  I hope you enjoyed reading about me.  I will write in here again soon; until then, this is Keyboard (aka Robert) Keller signing off!  Take care and may God bless you always!
