State Champion Cody Partyka

Cody and Zack are my sister Sharon's two boys. Cody in his Junior year at Peters Township High school was one of the leaders on the Soccer Team to beat everyone on their way to the AAA Pennsylvania Soccer Finals. Peter Township became the 2007 Pennsylvania State Champs. Cody not satisfied lead his team as a senior back to the State Finals in 2008. This time his freshman brother Zach joined him. See Zach's photo below. Cody has been given a scholarship to Marshall University to play on there soccer team. He starts this August.Posted by Picasa One more thing, I forgot to include that Cody was named to the Post Gazette All-Star team for WPIAL AAA and the Post Gazette All Boys Team. Finally, the Post Gazette bids adieu to the prolific Peters Township Varsity Soccer Seniors.

Matthæus is ... wait for it ... "seventeen"

According to wikipedia Matthew is ultimately derived from the Hebrew name מתתיהו (Matatyahu, Mattathias) or מתיתיהו (Matityahu, Mattithiah), Matthew means "gift of Yahweh". The Hebrew name is also spelled מתניהו (Matanyahu, Mattaniah). Whatever his name is or however it is spelt or said Sue and I could not be more proud of him. Each year we continue to see more and more evidence of the Grace of God in Matthews life. He truly is a gift of God to us.
