Sam, Emma & The Heisman Trophy

Emma's more into her cookie than Sam's Heisman.

The family with former PC North Panther and 2008 Heisman
Trophy Winner Sam Bradford.

The dream of many young athletes across the country.
Sam got to live that dream.

Friday night our school hosted a reception for our former student Sam Bradford. Sam is the 2008 Heisman trophy winner and an AP first team All-American quarterback for the University of Oklahoma. We are so proud of Sam for all of his athletic accomplishments, but more so for the oustanding young man and role model he is. He is a honor student at OU and one of the most down to earth, humble, genuine guys you will ever meet. Congratulations Sam for all you do to represent your high school, university, and state so well! We are proud that you will always be a PCN Panther!

One Year Ago Today.....

We were matched with An Thuy Le (Emma Reese Keller to us) and saw her picture for the first time.

The very first picture we ever saw of her.

The Cast


I made my stage debut last week in the PC North HS production of the musical "Bye, Bye, Birdie". It was so much fun to get to work with the kids on this show. I played the Mayor of Sweet Apple, Ohio.

On March 21st we hosted a family party to celebrate Emma's 2nd birthday. We had almost 30 family members attend. It was a wonderful celebration of the past six months since Emma has joined our family. A special thank you to everyone for sharing this very special day with us! We love you guys!
