Updating due to name change!

Well, it appears that as the blog was updated to show my new last name, everything that once was posted is now lost.  (Big tears if I was younger!)

 

At any rate, I will try to get in here and update as soon as possible.  Suffice it to say, this will take some time. We’ve lost lots of great pictures of kids at work, and great website links.

 

But, maybe things will be improved.  A clean slate, and a new day.  Wish me luck.  In the meantime, respond  with any kid friendly science worthy web site ideas.
