Writing Workshop

Attached is the PowerPoint recording I made for a writing workshop I conduct.

Keagen

This is my son Keagen. He is nine. Keagen has Asperger's Syndrome, which falls on the Autism Spectrum. You can find out more about Asperger's here: http://www.aspergersyndrome.org/

Keagen faces many challenges, but he is a funny, intelligent, and loving boy. As you can see below, he is quite a character. The first picture is him dressed as "Bob Vacuum," the second picture is him praying for pizza to come at the restaurant we were at, and the third is him making a piggy nose on our car. It's always an adventure with Keagen!



Road Trip!

I am currently in Medina, Ohio, but listed my location as Anchorage, Alaska, because in a matter of days, my son and me are relocating to Anchorage! I have a teaching opportunity there. My dad and step-mom live there, and I have been there several times. It will take us about 6 days to drive there. Keagen is looking forward to seeing Grandpa and Oma (Grandma in German) but mostly he is excited to see their two Whippets, Tosca and Annie.

Welcome!

OK, let's try this again! I created a new blog and everything worked except uploading photos. I received the same errors in IE, Firefox, and Google Chrome, so I decided to make another account and try again. I remembered I already had this one I created when I did my student teaching, so I am going to use this one instead. Technology is great, but it sure is a pain when it doesn't work!
