Ordinary Life

Rye is all about HORSES these days. Therefore, WE are all about horses these days.  From stick ponies: On our way back home from a Sunday drive to Savannah, we stopped by Bass Pro Shop. She also got a lasso: And carousel rides: Chandler shilled out the money for baby sister to take a whirl around the mall carousel before we headed back home.  Hey, Ya'll!   To galloping and leaping around the house, pretending to be a horse:  Then finally, FINALLY meeting (&riding) a REAL horse: Stay-N-Country Ranch has a LOT of horses and other animals too. Fisher took his turn first:  Riding like a natural Kentuckian: Waiting patiently in the Peanut Gallery: Fisher holds the harness while Rye gets geared up Moment Of Truth: "Riley are you ready for your turn?" 'YES! I'm ready to JUMP FENCES?' GiddyUp & Away We Go!  Learning to command the horse and identify parts with Mrs. Missy:  Learning to care for horses is an important part of riding them.   Hoo...

2014 It's been...a year. I'm still standing....let's go another round. No resolutions. No regrets. Just one day at a time, sweet Jesus. (That's not all I'll be asking from you...)

It has been three years since Riley Wren flew into our life.  Happy Birthday RyeBird! We Love You! From Terrific Two to Tremendous Three... Oh, what fun this will be!

   Happy Eleventh Birthday, Fisher Kai! You are a wonderful part of our family. It is a joy to watch you grow and explore your world.  We love you! 

A new feature on blogger syncs photos from my phone- but not just as photos, it runs all closely shot snapshots together to form animated GIF files. We recently lined some stale bread along our banister, just like Grammy taught us to... within moments, the power lines across the lawn were lined with crows and within a few more short moments, the birds began to risk a fly in. The whole thing was fascinating to watch from just behind the sliding glass door.  It was also slightly terrifying... look at ALL those birds!

Our firstborn is Fourteen. Happy Birthday Chandler Brice! You are an awesome young man.  What a tremendous gift it is to know you and be a part of your life.  We Love You!

Are you ready to rock?

Pasting & Sorting: Got 'em all! Re-visiting handwriting- because we need to.  "Aging Ape" Learning the sound of Long A "Look, he's got a hat. It's a apple one!"
