The Horse Whisperer...

..."H" has always had this uncanny ability to comunicate with animals. I know it sounds a bit Disney-ish, but it is true. This girl can speak their language...not literally of course but when she speaks (usually with more patience than she speaks to people) the animals listen and bend to her will. The horses on the farm where she takes horseback lessons run to the fence as soon as they see our van pull up and she rushes down the fence giving each one a sweet pet and a gentle word. I think she really does have an incredible gift and pray that God will use her in some way to minister to people through animals.

Silly "B-Bear" on Her Birthday

Anyone who knows my "B", knows that she is the one daughter you can count on to make you laugh. When times are sad, or bad, or mad...she always does something to make the whole situation seem funny. Here she wanted to pretend to be Julia Childs making a cake with a little Paula Dean added in. Paula always tastes directly from the chocolate fountain so "B" decided she must wear a choco-stache. Silly girl!!!

...we love chocolate cake in case you havent noticed in all the other blog entries!

Here is the finished cake...she decorated it all by herself and I for one think she has an eye for festivity. This cake definately screamed CELEBRATE!!!

If you know "B", you also know that she likes things small and personal. So after her trip to Applebees for lunch and Monkey Joes for playtime, we returned to Memaw's for her get together with her cousins for some wings and cake and presents. She does not like a big spectacle however.....

..."B" loves the cha cha cha with Memaw!!!

She even puts personality and style to it and dances her entire dance during the song. I love this little girl!!! Shes a firecracker and a teddy bear all in one, does that make any sense? She's full of spark but desires that sweet tender touch of the people she loves. Thats my "B-Bear"!!!
