Things are moving along in our neck of the woods. My study is moving forward and things are going well. We also had visitors. Both Grandma and Nana came for a visit (each for a week and just a few days in between their visits). J has also been keeping busy with soccer and construction work. The college season is winding down some, but playoffs are coming up so he isn't done yet. In other news I am applying for a non tenure track position at Penn State. It is renewed year by year so I have the option to move on later if I want. It is a great opportunity and a rare honor to be considered to remain where I am working on my studies. (This is not a common
occurrence in academia - but since they have been adding special education classes for general education majors they have a large need for faculty to teach these courses). I will keep you updated on details. I am still not sure of my exact graduation date, but if all of this goes through I plan on having my data collection completed by the fall (with graduation in August of December depending on how smoothly things go). We love where we are and are excited to prolong our stay a while more.
I will be updating about recent grandparent visits soon. Unfortunately I am not sure I snapped any photos of Nana - how did that happen?
When Grandma was here we took a trip up to Niagara Falls since John had a game at Niagara University. The kids loved the 
falls, the adults also thought they were amazing, and it was a beautiful day weather-wise. Next time we go I will definitely venture to the Canadian side, the view would be much better from there.
