Goodbye 2006 IUSWP Fellows!!!

Thursday was the last day for the IUSWP (Indiana University Southeast Writing Project) 2006 Summer Fellowship. It was a month long journey of writing, reading, teaching and learning. Not to mention laughing, making friends, and having an all around wonderful experience with a bunch of great educators all of whom you see in the group photo on the right.

Thanks to all for an unforgettable time, and new friendships.

Our kids.

Don't be fooled by the
"cuteness".

The Kitties

Our
cats.

The little one is Tessa (short for Tristessa) and the big one is Gish.
