We Miss You!


Buddy, originally uploaded by jodifurr.

On December 14th our lives changed forever when we lost Virgel's Dad, Buddy. For those of you that never had the pleasure of knowing Buddy, he was a kind hearted generous person, who loved nature and nothing more than spending time with his grand children. We are going to miss him so very much.

I thank all of you so much for your calls, cards, thoughts, and prayers. It has meant so much to us to have all of you there.

Our first snow

This is a picture off of our back deck. It was still snowing. We got about 4 inches that day and we have had white stuff on the ground ever since.

Let it snow, Let it snow. . .

Oh what fun it is to play. . . Ruston isn't so excited about getting cold, but they like the snow. Ani wants to make a snow man, but it wont stick together. Bummer.

Ani loves the snow! She wanted Daddy to run faster and faster! She would just scream as he pulled her down the hill!

Santa Clause

On our way back from Arkansas we couldn't make it because they closed the interstate about 2 hours from the house. It was probably a good thing, since we couldn't see the road anymore and it was snowing pretty hard. We knew of a lodge not far from where we were. It was a great place with an indoor water park. When we got inside, Santa was there. The kids hadn't sat on Santa lap yet, so we let them. As you can see, Ani is no longer afraid on the man in the big red suit!

Ruston and Santa

Ruston was not so excited about seeing Santa. Well, it is a picture with Santa.

Our tree

Ruston loves the tree. He has done really well at leaving the tree alone. I just have to make sure he doesn't try to eat any thing on it!

Santa's cookies

Too cute

This is just too cute. Can you believe this car actually has a functioning radio? Yep, they were driving along listening to tunes!

Happy or what?


IMG_8448.JPG, originally uploaded by jodifurr.

Yep, I think it is official, he loves this car.

Bribbery!

Oh yeah! This is one of those photos that will end up his year book Senior year. He found Ani's princess hat in her room and had so much fun with it. Good thing I had the camera handy!
