Mamaw watch the kids for us and we got a lot of snow, about 7 inches. She had planned on going to her house (4 houses down from ours) in the afternoon, but didn't make it. Unfortunately, she had already promised the kids they could go outside in the snow. So, when we go home, they were ready to play. It was late and the sun didn't last long, but they still had fun. Ruston likes putting his hands in the snow as long as he has his gloves on.

Well, it is a car
Maybe Santa should have brought the blue one! Ani does like her pink Barbi VW, but not as much as Ruston like to push it around the house!
All by herself
That is a theme of Ani's lately. Believe it or not it was about 6 degrees outside on the day she put this on.
Welcome home Daddy
Virgel had to go on a trip for a week and Ani had the idea to make him a cake for when he came home. She decorated all by herself!
Is it Ruston or Godzilla??
Well as far as Thomas the train is concerned, it is Godzilla. He was pretty proud of himself!
Train fun
Ruston loves playing with his train set in his room. Well, let me rephrase that. We put the train together, and he loves tearing it apart!! Ani and As you can see, Ruston are never far from each other.
Daddy's hat
Ruston had a lot of fun playing with Daddy''s hat the other night. The bad part is, he knows he is cute!

Let it snow, Let it snow
O.k. I think I used that title already, but what else can I say. We have had snow on the ground since before Thanksgiving. We had over a foot of snow accumulated at one point. I thought it might all melt away, but with about 6 inches of snow in the last 24 hours that isn't going to happen any time soon. It was a 3 degrees earlier tonight with a promise of getting colder. Now, I am not complaining, just noting the stark difference in our environment from just a year ago when I was posting pictures of the kids playing in the ocean at this time of the year! We are really enjoying our new house and thrilled at how warm it stays. We often think about how cold our old Mississippi house would be on cold days. This house is nothing like that. The kids started at a new school that is closer to our work in January. We are really happy about that. We were driving about 50 miles from work every day, now it is about 15. Not only is it a time saver it is a gas saver too! The kids seem to really like it and are adjusting well. We will have more adjustments too come in the next few weeks. Next weekend Virgel is going to get his Mom. She is going to move up here. We have found her an apartment that is less than 1/4 mile from us. We have never, since we have been married lived so close to family. It will be nice, but take a little getting use to. I am glad that the kids will be so close to their Mamaw. I know she will be a big help to use during outages and when work is a little crazy. I know she has been lonely since Buddy passed away, so it will be good for her. It will be a big adjustment since she has lived in her house for the last 30 years. I am sorry I don't call all of you as often as I want, but I hate to take time away from the kids in the evenings, I know you all understand. It seems like everything settles down, it is too late too call. I think of you all often and miss everyone. Come see us, we have plenty of snow to play in!

my snowbaby
Now this is the cutest snow man you have ever seen. It took a little bit of convincing to get him to sit in the snow, but once I did he liked playing in it. It is a good thing, since we got another 3 inches or so last night! I have never seen so much snow. We have had snow on the ground for the last 2 months!
SLEDDIN
Ani and Ruston love sledding! Daddy pulls them on the knee board down the hill by the house. They both squeal the whole time!
ridin
Look who is pushing who! You knew it wouldn't be long. Ruston had fun pushing Ani, but he wasn't too good at steering yet!
story time
Somebody loves their TJ Bearytales that Santa brought them. It is so cute. Ruston will lay on his tummy an watch this bear tell a story.

We Miss You!
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.
