Fun For All

It is amazing how busy we have been.  The guest room is really coming together to be ready for the child we will hopefully one day adopt.    The bathroom in the hall is done.  Our bathroom is done and we have moved upstairs.  We have spent hours working on homework, horse chores, and even found plenty of time for play.  So, to put some of it in photos:

We are loving Molly and Lady and making sure that they get more attention, not less with all of our hustle and bustle. 

We adopted Checkers, who has become Joel's favorite cookie monster, and a reliable riding companion for me:

We took in our first, born in the wild, Mustang foster horse, Addie: 

......who promptly became best friend's with Checkers (they are practically twins!):

Unfortunately, Jewel lost her baby, but she is much healthier and happy now, so we feel that it was for the best.  We still get to enjoy a little filly, since Evangeline and her baby, Aurora are fostering with us.  Little Aurora's antics keep us smiling, and her panelled paddock keep her safe and out of trouble:

Sebastian hasn't been overlooked either.  We gave him a bath over the weekend, so he is not quite ready for his close up right now.  Baths are not his favorite thing.

Saturday morning Douglas came over ride a horse for the first time.  His nerves let up after awhile, and he loosened his grip to wave at his Uncle Joel.  After dinner that night we went to his house and played Rock Band together as a family.  Lots of laughs all around.
