What could be better than snow in Georgia?

Snow Day

Only in Georgia do they cancel church because of a little slushy snow! We sure had fun playing in it though and it was so beautiful. Wish we hadn't run out of camera space quite so soon. Yeah, it snowed!!

The Book Thief

I just finished reading the most amazing book...maybe you've heard of it: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Never read anything like it. It's been a New York Times bestseller, probably a few years ago. It truly is a life-changing book that I highly recommend. Find time to curl up with a cozy blanket, maybe some hot chocolate and get swallowed up in a literary marvel! How's that for a promo!! Or if you're able to enjoy a little more warmth than we have here, find a hammock! Enjoy!

wedded bliss

Just a more recent picture of the two of us. Thanksgiving day 2008 at our friends, the Moye's. Lovely day!

Christmas cheer

One of the several outfits I made for Dionne's girls. I went a little crazy, I admit, but it sure was fun to be creative!

The good 'ole days!

Enough Said!

Daddy time...........

I found David reading to Dade...One Fish, Two Fish...VERY loudly. David kept reading VERY loudly even when Dade left the room. He said it was his favorite book of all time!











We discovered one of Dade's new places to play!!

Bad Hair Day!

Poor Dade had to deal with the static we had last week! He got a new ball though!

Flat Stella

Flat Stella has been one of Raleigh's projects for school. I've had a lot of fun taking her wherever I go along with the camera, of course. Flat Stella is now living with Raleigh! Oh, I forgot the Flat Stanley was with us for a while too. He went to Florida with Rodg...much more exciting life than Stella's!

Calling All Deer Hunters........

 
 
 
A typical days' occurance at the Purdy home. Too bad county hunting rules won't let us shoot a few...really!!

What's this?

 
 
 
Christmas Eve Dinner...quiet with just us five...notice how Kenda insists on setting her place at the table. We love giving her a hard time about it! Love you Kenda!

Christmas Morning Fun!

 
 
 
 
Christmas morning with a toddler...what more can I say!

Mr. Dade

 
 
Some have seen this on Kenda's blog BUT he's so dang cute I had to add it to ours...he LOVES his Grandpa "BoBo"!

Christmas morning Tradition

 
 
 
To continue in the Purdy way, we had about 20 people over for super deluxe heavenly omelets! We ALWAYS invite the missionaries and our missionaries invited more. We were delighted...they're our Atlanta Mission Spanish speaking Elders so they had no ward to call Home. We more than welcomed them! And of course we added a few more friends that we love!

Got Milk?

 
 
The other night Kenda and David surprised me with a Whopper Milkshake for my "belated" birthday. It was so YUMMY!

A Sewer's Best Friend

 

Okay, I know ironing is not on everyone's favorite list...but I have to admit to loving to iron so I treated myself to a super duper delux model. I got a Rowenta iron right before Christmas to go with it..."you can't have one without the other"!

Husband of the Year Award........

.........goes to my sweet honeybunch! I got an early birthday present yesterday. I knew we were going out,but to where??? We got in the car around 4:30 and he told me we were going to dinner and a concert...my most favorite artist of all time. Neil Diamond!! Much to his dismay, I wasn't too excited. Good grief, Neil Diamond must be 70 something by now so I really wondered what kind of concert it would be. Well, first came dinner. For those of you that know Atlanta, we drove through our wonderful traffic to Norcross to eat at Pappadeux's. New Orleans style food. Rodg had to have his dozen raw oysters, of course, me...a dinner salad. We both had the same entree: Blackened Mahi Mahi smothered in monterey jack sherry sauce with mushrooms, crawfish, shrimp and spinach. (That was for you Nate!) Accompanied by dirty rice. OH MY GOODNESS! It was a plate of heaven! Wish I'd taken a picture of it........(for you Jess) on to the concert.......

We arrived a bit early, rushed through the parking lot in the rain. Rodg practically dragged me which is saying something with recent events! Found our seats and spent the next 45 minutes people watching. What an interesting crowd. I was beginning to think we were the youngest ones there. A few younger sat around us, which I was grateful for, but honestly this crowd was the geriatric one!! Right down to the walkers! And we didn't think it was going to be sold out with all the empty seats. With the late start, we decided it was to allow all those slow moving people time to get in their seats...and surprisingly, it was packed! Well, I've never seen Neil in concert after all these years and I've got to say once again...OH MY GOODNESS!! It was all I had ever hoped for and more. He sang all those oldies to ME and I LOVED it! Swaying in my seat for the longest time and finally couldn't stand it anymore with "Sweet Caroline", I was on my feet. Along with all those thousands of other retirees! I had to laugh out loud to see those oldsters dancing around their seats! And I was one of them!!! My favorite was "I Am, I Said" along with his encore of "They're Comin' to America". We really had a great time and all I can say is....Thank you dear, you're the BEST!

Our Christmas Tree

 

More for my sweet girl!
