Happy Birthday Pati :)

Great Country Farm....

Family outing

Jessie rode a mile and a half on Joey today, her longest horse ride ever! Claudia and she rode over to our friends the Frommack's house where Jordan was playing, and I walked along with a stroller strategically empty, expecting she'd have enough after a couple minutes, but she loved the whole ride. She was terribly (and I select that particular word with great care, as she's clearly in her two's) disappointed that she couldn't also ride Joey home, but Joey was acting up by then because of a horse-fly bite and so Jessie had to settle for a stroller ride.

It was also a first for Jordan, who had ridden his bike to the Frommack's house on his own a couple hours earlier, the farthest he's ever ridden by himself. The Moms coordinated by phone so they were looking out for him, but it was a big step for Jordan and he did great. Our kids are growing up!

Jordan's zucchini

Jordan's up to bat with his very own world's largest zucchini he picked right from our garden!

Leave a rake out for a week in VA, and it grows into the forest...

Jordan's reading spot

Jordan says he discovered this reading spot from one of his Geleynse cousins when they were here last.
