Justin's trip to Michigan

Justin had to make a last minute trip to Michigan due to the fact that his Grandpa Cooper passed away. It was an emotional filled trip, but Grandpa gave us the gift of a nice family reunion. The service for him was beautiful, he would have been very happy. Grandma Cooper was strong, but had her moments. It was great to hear and re-tell all of our old Grandpa stories. Thanks to all of you that sent cards my way, much appreciated. Below are pics of being with the family.

Early Snow...again!

Last week we got another bout of snow! Not as much as the first time around, but still quite a bit...around 8 inches in town. Below are some pics, we decided to go back to our old stomping grounds and play in Cheesman Park, the dogs liked it a lot!

Veteran's Day

This is an article about the Veteran's Day celebration at our school this week. It was organized by one of the 8th grade classes at our school, and the picture cycling through on the side has kids I teach in it!! Pretty cool!
