Kissing Buddha

Recently Veda has taken quite a liking to Todd's Buddha statue that sits on our front porch. It actually has a pretty funny story behind it...not exactly of the religious type that most people might think, but it actually dates back to when Todd studied in London. Todd and a couple buddies took it hostage from a neighbor bar that they frequented almost every night (after they finished studying of course). Well, it made it's way back to the states after the summer of '98 and has stuck with him through every move since, even though it literally weighs 70 lbs and actually has a core of lead inside of it...yeah they found that out as it went through the airport Xray machine...pretty sure that wouldn't pass security now days.

Here's a couple pics where Veda discovered Buddha's belly and another one "kissing" the pudgy little fellow....
