We Miss You

Well its been one year since Pop passed away. Seems like only yesterday I got to see his wonderful smile, hear his joyful laugh, and share a seat in the golf cart. It seems that we run into people all the time that say they think about Pop on almost a daily basis. He had so many wonderful friends and enjoyed life like no one else. No matter how dark and dreary one day may seem the next always started with a smile for Pop. His laugther was contagious and his smile could brighten any room. Pop had a knack for recalling funny events and was able to tell stories better than anyone I know. He made friends everywhere he went and was always the first one to buy a round. This world sure lost someone special when Russell Byrd passed away and we are all happier people having known him.

love you Pop.

Crashed!!!

I opened the door to Jake's room one morning to get him up for the day and found him sleeping like this. Don't we all wish we could sleep this good.

Sunday Afternoons in the County

This past Sunday we went out to my parent's house. Jake loves to visit. Not only to see the greandparents but there are so many places to run, lots of wildlife to see (rabbits, horses, parrie dogs, stray cats and many different kinds of insects). This time however, Jake found the perfect mud puddle. It was picked out espically for him by grandpa and Jake loved it. He has always been a fan of water and when combined with the perfect sand hole you get the....the perfect mud puddle!!!
