The link below is to an article in this morning's local paper. The teacher who commented at the end was right... this bill is tearing families apart. With all due respect, I've already compromised enough, and I've moved as far East as I'm willing to go. Rylee and I are NOT moving to New Jersey. If the state forces us to move East... we're moving WEST!

PA Residents -- Help Oppose NJ State Legislation
PA Residents,
Help Chris and I oppose residency requirements for New Jersey state employees. One of our PA (Bucks County) State Representatives has started a petition to oppose the legislation -- please consider signing it.
As you may know, my husband, Chris, is a teacher in New Jersey. The proposed New Jersey state legislation would force Chris and I to sell our home in Palmer Township and establish residency in the state of New Jersey within the next two and a half years in order for him to keep his job. Not only would a move to New Jersey severly alter our quality of living, but it would force us to leave a community that we love -- a community in which I am actively involved.
If you join Chris and I in the belief that New Jersey should value the quality of their educators over their home address, please click here to sign the petition.
If you are a New Jersey resident, please contact your legislator and ask them to oppose New Jersey State Employee residency requirements. At the very least, ask them to grandfather in current employees as to not force hard-working, loyal NJ state employees, like Chris, to uproot their families.

Random Pics
For those of you suffering from Roo withdraw, I've uploaded some new pics.
Above: Everyday on the way to school, Rylee talks to "Dada" on her phone. Elmo's voice talks back, btw. Obviously, she has picked up a bad habit from Mommy. Does anyone know if Leap Frog makes a Bluetooth?

We heart Miss Stephanie and Miss Abby.

Coaching Girls
Coach Gerber recently discovered the joys of coaching... and raising... girls. While playing catch with his little RooBear, Coach was both delighted and embarrassed to discover that Rylee hugs the ball after each catch. With a huge smile, and a slight chuckle, Daddy exclaimed, "You catch like a girl!"
