Char's first week of SchoolCharley began her first week of nursery school and loves wearing her Dora backpack. We have been practicing cutting and have had some homework, which her parents have had as much doing as she has....(probably more)...
Char Began first Balliet class at LWK. Charley began dance class this week at Lauri Welteroth's. Charley is in class with her best bud, but together they are ready to tear up the dance floor. I think that Char's eyes look like she's ready to fire lazers from them....dance, dance tap, tap, ZZZZAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPP!
Char's first encounter with MAJORThis was Char's first week with mommy's old horse MAJOR. MAJOR and Char's mommy use to do many competitions when they were younger. MAJOR has been retired for years and still lives locally, but lives with another family now. Recently, Char and her mommy have begun to take an interest in MAJOR and Char is getting horse crazy (just like her mom used to be)....

My First post-graduate Graduation
This past weekend I received my M.Ed. from Wilkes University. Over the past 17 months I was involved in the Loyalsock Cohort of Wilkes' Principalship Cohort. Dr. Mextorf, Dr. Reitz, Mr. Mato and Dr. Bianco were the professors for some of my courses. I took most of my classes here at LTSD and last fall I crammed FOUR graduate courses into my weekly schedule. That was a tough sememster for my family and I, but man, was it worth it. Here I am with my father, my mother (a 5th grade teacher in Wmspt.), my sister (a teacher in S. Philly), and my daughter and wife, Alysha. What a nice afternoon for a graduation. Best of all, we had celebration milkshakes at Red Robin in Wilkes-Barre.

And, my first.....Beautiful Afternoon at Penn State wearing a jacket...I know that's a reach, but I love a good PSU football saturday...
