Christmas 2010!

I am so lucky! I have seen it snow more in my lifetime than my Momma has in her long life! It snowed at my house for Christmas. I loved it! Daddy found his old snow board and let me slide down my hill for a long time. I smiled and would holler WHHEEEEEE! My Papa and Nana, and Kiki and Chase came to see me. I was so excited to see my Uncle Chase. Momma was glad to have him home for good but she said that she wasn't as happy as Aunt Kiki. I got lots of stuff too. A basketball goal, a tricycle, a Bullseye from Toy Story that I can ride, a remote control tractor (because my Daddy got a RC Truck and I took it away from him and cried when they had to let it charge back up.) Clothes and food for my kitchen so much stuff I can't even remember it all. I hope I play with everything all the time! Here are a few pictures of the snow and my family at Christmas. I even got to see my family from Atlanta!! They came and ate Gumbo with us and brought my GG-ma over to see us.

What a lovely Blessing!

This post is written by Mommy.  I just wanted to take the time and say what a wonderful woman Mrs. Phylis May was.  Not only was she talented as a photographer but she was a special woman with a sweet spirit about her.  She loved the Lord, her husband, and her friends and family.  The latter so much that you really didn't notice a difference in her friends or family, they seemed interchangeable.  Me and Sandy were looking through pictures that Sandy had developed recently and noticed that in the pictures of JJ's birthday party Mrs. Phylis had taken over Sandy's camera.  There are the sweetest, unique pictures that could have been taken.  It hurts to see such a jewel taken but as Dwayne and I were thinking of the wonderful relationship that Richard and her shared we couldn't help but wonder if Richard didn't ask God to bring her back to him.  The pictures below were taken by Mrs. Phylis.  A surprise for me given to me in honor of JJ's 2nd birthday.  If you look closely you will see some really special things that JJ does.  I have only seen one other person catch those special JJ moments and Mrs. Meg does a wonderful job as well.  So in honor of life, family and talents that God Gives.  Thank you God for putting Phylis in our path. --Laurie
