At this link above, you'll find a list of all the people in my new office at the Walton College. It's a neat way to take a peek at my new colleagues.

I have been busy and haven't posted any pictures in a while so I went ahead and posted a lot to get caught up. You can see Jack's eye is doing well and his eye is getting stronger everyday. Also, Jack is officially walking now. He can walk up to 7 to 10 steps without assistance and he can go one direction and then turn around without any help. Of course, this means no rest for the weary. Jack doesn't stop moving until we hold him down to go to sleep. He is a lot of fun now and totally acts like a boy in the sense that he loves to knock things over and get his hands dirty. Enjoy the new pics!

Jack's first birthday party!

The birthday boy himself!! He decided to chew on some cardboard while he waited for the party to start. His official birthday is this Wednesday, but we celebrated with family in Tulsa this past weekend.


The big cake for everyone to eat. Of course, JR picked out the design


Jack's personal cake! There are two cupcakes under all that icing!


Jack and I!


Jack opening his presents! He did well and pulled out all of the tissue paper from each present.


The fam!!


Me, Jack and my Grandma. I look kind of bright eyed...who knows.


All the family that came!!


Jack's cake afterward. It only looks like this because we smashed his hand into it. Oh well, maybe next year!!

BATH TIME!!!
Jack absolutely loves taking a bath. He hates when he has to get out and get dressed but he could play in the tub for hours if we would let him.

Here is a good teeth shot! He has four on top, two on bottom and now he is getting in a molar on each side!




We love this pic because Jack looks so determined to find his next toy.




WALKING AROUND!
Jack loves to walk around the perimeter of the kitchen. He is now walking about 7 to 10 steps on his own! He is always on the move now.

Two weeks since surgery!!

Looking better everyday!

Jack's surgery!

Jack after surgery. The purple things on his arms are called "no-no bands" used to keep Jack from touching his eye.


Three days after...looks more painful than it was. Dude was moving around, crawling, walking like nothing happened.


One week after surgery....looking great!!

Jack around the house!

Jack was getting into the cabinets and found the colander!! He still thinks it is a nifty hat.

Jack from the side!

Jack in amazement!

He had just gotten done eating and we handed him one of these Christmas Balls! He was excited!

Jack's many adventures!

Jack with his Grandpa Steve at a Catfish Restaurant in Mountain View. Don't ask...



The many funny faces of Jack!







It takes quite a bit of pride swallowing to allow this picture, but I had to show the little guy all suited up for his first haircut!! Go ahead and laugh...I can take it!


Jack looking very serious and showing off his new do! He is a handsome little fella!

Get ready for a CUTIE!!!!!

While eating dinner Jack got quite amused! His eye is bruised from his latest shot. Look at my big feet!! Fascinated with the camera!! Jack hangin' with mom on the couch on a Saturday morning!
