Joy just lept into my heart


That is the way Grace described her experience horseback riding..specifically when her horse started to trot! Her absolute delight was written not only in her heart but all over her face, too!
We had the blessing of spending the afternoon at the Worthys, a fellow pastor's family on staff at Cloverdale. What a special afternoon it was with Susan and her girls! My brother Paul is up visiting...and he was so gracious to spend the afternoon with the boys while I took the girls for some girl's time!
Faith had fun on the horses, too, and handled herself very well when one of them got spooked while she was on it!:)
It was a lovely, refreshing day. Not just because the sun was shining and the girls got to ride horses...but because I was again reminded and so thankful for the sweet bond that comes from being apart of God's family! It takes relationships that are brand new and makes them feel beautifully familiar!

And also, I love the new kitchen table!! I don't think you had posted a picture of it yet (ahem!), so glad to see it in the pic of the boys...what a deal!! :)
well, now that Paul's been up, I've got an itch to get up there too...hopefully in a few weeks!

"Joy just lept into my heart" too precious! K would have had joy too if she were on that horse Grace...What a wonderful "out of the normal routine" day! PS Cute jacket Kristin :)
The smiles say it all! Obviously they had a wonderful time. And the boys? Well, boys will be boys .... they looked like they had a grand time as well!

The boys played baseball at the park for 3 hours! I whipped them into shape and made them run the bases till they fainted from exhaustion, ha ha. Such a cruel uncle Paul. No, we had a blast at the park! It was all good!
