Certified!

CONGRATULATIONS RYAN!! As of this morning, Ryan is officially a National Board Certified Teacher! Ryan worked very hard for months to earn this certification. He had to put together a portfolio that included lesson plans, videos of himself teaching, proof of extra-curricular work, and a ton of writing (I'm just guessing here, around 50 pages)...in addition to taking a test! Needless to say, this is a huge accomplishment. The three of us went out to dinner to celebrate, and had a great time. Eli surprised us by enjoying his lettuce more than his bread! He also did a great job of toasting Dada's big accomplishment! Way to go Ryan!

P.S. Look at those gorgeous curls!!
