Welcome to our first grandson!!

Welcome to our world baby Brenden!! This picture was taken when he is just a few minutes old. Under his hat is a head of dark hair. He is fascinated to see his mommy after only hearing her voice the past few months. As a mom, I had 3 sons & 1 daughter; as a grammie I now have the privilege of having 3 granddaughters and 1 grandson. In October, Hannah will add to the mix with another girl. Josh will have his hands full with a house of girls!!! Being a grammie is the best job in the world!!!

Example of children & podcasting

Some of the work I do is to encourage and pass along teaching ideas to incorporate new technologies in the classroom. Students are now writing/creating the web. This was a beautiful video I came across to show how children enjoy sharing on the web.

Graduation Sunday

Last year at this time, the family gathered for Nate's graduation from Bethel. Mom and Dad gave him his diploma. What a funny looking family?!!

Following Along

following along, originally uploaded by popofatticus.

Since our family is full of former soccer players and now soccer coaches of young children, I love this photo. It reminds me of my children learning to dribble a soccer ball. Soon my grandchildren might be following in their mom or dad's footsteps. Abbi is already enjoying kicking a soccer ball.

Happy 31st Anniversary to my husband!!!!

I had to take down the card--it was too annoying with the sound.
