Presidents' Day with Daniel

Kat and Daniel came for the weekend and stayed on Presidents' Day to go to the zoo and Hershey Chocolate ride with Pop-pop. They stopped at Red Robin for lunch. Daniel is a particularly finicky eater! He ate lots of French fries, but wouldn't eat any meat until Kat got the idea to put some on a fork for him. He ate several bites after that!

They make me laugh!

One thing I have always loved about working with "gifted" children is that they have a great sense of humor. In this photo, Sam and Tom are reporting on their idea of what an ideal vacation would be like for our seminar on man's changing views of utopia. Tom got tired of holding up the poster, so he became a human easel. Every day they do something new for me to laugh about!

Sunday Morning Wildlife

As I sat at the computer to check e-mail, Rich said the fox had been interested in something in the snow beneath the kitchen window. Sure enough, she was still hunting - and available for a photo shoot. Here she is...

Lasts

Tooting my own horn a bit... This week was the last debate and banquet for our Harrisburg Area Debate League. My JV team tied for First Place and I was recognized for 20 years of service to the league. It was a very appreciated gesture. On Saturday some of the students competed at districts which were held at Messiah College, but did not advance to state competition, so that was the LAST debate! The tee shirts say, "Resolved to win since 1993" which is when I took over the team as head coach, so that honors my service as well!

Progress

One day a couple of weeks ago Rich took pictures of the house going up behind us, to the left. I will miss the rural view, but we knew it would happen eventually.
