Welcome to the personal home page of the Charline Barger (formerly Charline Burga) and James Barger (a.k.a. Jamie Barger).

We moved to Philadelphia in 2007, to the beautiful neighborhood of Chestnut Hill, in northwest Philly. And, we love this place! Our kids love it too.

Jamie is attending law school at Temple University Beasley School of Law and Charline is raising the kids and keeping the family involved in the community.

Jamie still roots for the Florida Gators and the Jacksonville Jaguars during football season. But, now he also supports the Temple Owls and the Philadelphia Eagles. (Thankfully, the Philadelphia and Florida teams never play against each other. That would be a problem.)

Charline has gotten pretty involved in the community, raising money for a local maternity center, joining a local "moms' club," participating in a babysitting co-op, working on a toy sharing co-op, and just generally meeting people and making a lot of great friends and finding plenty of activities for our two wonderful children, Jude and Ruby.

Charline and Jamie
That's us, Charline and Jamie, a few years ago. Jamie has short hair now, so no more ponytail.

Starting in the fall, Charline will be working at a progressive school initiative, called the "Talking Stick Learning Center," in the Mount Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia. They've scheduled day-long programs, week-end classes, evening workshops, and an after school program. Charline's really looking forward to working with children in a self-directed learning environment. They use the "Natural Learning Process."

We have a lot of web pages, spread all over this Internet thing. So, here are some links to stuff we've put on-line...
