more snow

Nascar: Uncle Nate would be proud. This car was another gift from a Dunwood parent. He likes to go backwards, get out, and then push it around.

It's been snowing and sleeting all day. The forcast says that the Milwaukee area will get about 24 total inches this weekend. We'll see.

papa gotta job

It's true. We are moving from the frozen tundra of Wisconsin. I will be teaching English at John Brown University in Siloam Springs, AR (www.jbu.edu). Unfortunately, the school is not named for the fiery abolitionist that was responsible for the raid on Harper's Ferry and countless killings of pro-slavery lobbyists in Kansas. Oh well, I hear the founder of the University was a pretty nice guy in his own right. Although we will miss everyone in Milwaukee, it's nice to know I'll finally have a job and that graduate school will soon be over. The dissertation is officially finished and my defense date is set for March 8 at 9:30 a.m. Praise Jesus!!!!!

The Walker

Here are a few random pics of Ben walking. He loves to run around the living room and into the kitchen. He's got a few bumps and bruises, too.



new toys

One of the parents at Dunwwod (where Jules works) gave Ben some great toys. This is supposed to be a parking garage, but Ben uses is as a jungle gym.


Snow day

Jules got Ben a bucket of snow to enjoy. Here are a few pics.




We got over six inches of snow this morning. And, the forcast says that we will get another possible 10-12 inches before tomorrow evening.
