Amy at 38 weeks!!!

If Jack decided to come into our lives today, he would not be--officially, anyway--a premature baby. Good feeling.

Amy's School Pic

Here's what a Percussion Coordinator at Alma Public Schools looks like!

Amy's Fayetteville Shower

All the ladies (oh yeah, and JR, too) at Amy's shower in Fayetteville.

Brief modeling career

I though everyone would get a kick out of this. Amy and I worked for a Phonathon when we were in college and this was one of the photos taken to recruit new callers. Funny.

Picture of a pregnant Sir!

Here is the most recent picture of Amy. According to our doctor, Jack now weighs a little over two pounds.

JR Graduates!

For all of you who didn't know, I defended my Masters thesis on November 14th and will officially graduate from Graduate School from the University of North Carolina-Wilmington this fall. Right now I'm still teaching lessons at Alma and working part-time at UPS until a position opens at the University of Arkansas or the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith. Hopefully an adjunct faculty or academic advisor job will present itself soon. Most colleges however do their hiring for that kind of stuff in the late Spring, so I'll have to be patient. There's also a chance that I could work as a history teacher at a NWArkansas school. Shiloh Christian, a private school run by Springdale First Baptist, has shown some interest in me, but nothing is concrete yet!

Christmas 2005

Maggie and Sandy were not very cooperative for this picture. Still, here we are at Christmas time in 2005--taken at Marsha's house in Owasso, Oklahoma. That's Sandy's actual eye color, too!

JR and Amy in Miami, Oklahoma

This is a picture of us at Amy's grandmother's house in Miami, Oklahoma. This was the day we told the family Amy was pregnant! We're not normally that tan by the way. The picture is flattering.
