PC North Homecoming 2011

Emma was very excited to be a 2011 PC North football homecoming junior attendant. She and Jake Robison (Coach Wilson's grandson) did an awesome job and really hit it off! We were excited that the Belz's drove down from St.Louis (that story to come later) to spend the weekend with us. Emma's Nana, Pappa, Uncle Mike, and cousins Sidney and Shelby also were there. It was a fun evening for all of us!

First Day of School, 2011-12

Today Emma started her first day of Pre-K at Francis Tuttle. She was very excited and overall had a very good day in Mrs. Frazier's Pre-K class. Cathy and I also had our first day with students. Cathy is very excited to be teaching Geometry again after two years of teaching Teen Leadership. I have 3 sections of Pre-AP OK History and 2 sections of Regular OK History, as well as Cross Country. It was an outstanding first day and my kids were awesome! This is my 23rd year in education and Cathy's 25th. We are very fortunate to have jobs that we still love after all these years!

Exciting News!

We are very excited that we are going to be grandparents! Our daughter Abby and her husband Kelly are expecting a baby girl around Christmas time. We know they will be great parents and we are just thrilled for them. Abby has accepted a teaching position in Driggs, Idaho and they are in the process of moving. We are sad that they will no longer be in the OKC area, but are happy that they are excited about the move. We look forward to visiting them often and enjoying skiing in the winter and cool weather in the summer! Congrats to Abby and Kelly! We love you!
