Coleman Family: Our Little Elf Gus

Our Little Elf Gus

Our little Elf this year was finally named Gus, after much deliberation and questioning. Cinderella is a movie of choice right now and I think it had a great influence. And really, I think it would have been named Lucifer, but mom didn't even give her the choice. Naughty me. Whit was really into it and I think was more excited than Maggie..these are some of our favorite places we found Gus.

This one was Maggie's favorite! It sparked some time in the stander playing with marshmallows.

Got a little fed up with how many pictures I was taking..but she looked so cute and was especially smiley.

One of our favorite games to play this season was turning the Christmas lights On/Off.

Playing with the ornaments, saying Ho, Ho, Ho, and shaking our jingle bells. Oh what fun!

Whit and I have been married for 9 years now. How time flies when you are having fun. We have the most precious baby boy named Jonas. He is in Heaven right now, waiting for us to return to him. We miss him every minute. We also have a little girl named Maggie, who has the same disease that her brother had. Time with her is limited as well, so we continue to do what we did with her brother...enjoy every minute! We are so blessed to have the most beautiful children and even though our time with them will be short, we know we will be with them again!

Jonas Mathie

Jonas was born on December 2, 2007. At six weeks old Jonas was diagnosed with a genetic disorder called SMA (spinal muscular atrophy). SMA Type I is a terminal genetic disease that results in loss of nerves in the spinal cord and weakness of the muscles connected with those nerves. Jonas beat the odds and lived with us for almost three years! He returned to heaven November 18, 2010. Every day we had with him here on earth was our heaven. We are better people because of Jonas and miss him everyday.
