A Christmas Pony 2017

Sometimes dreams really do come true!
Archie, our elf, left a note telling Merritt 
to take good care of his friend! He also said
that Macaroni refused to 
come inside. It was a cold dash
to the barn in the dark but ended in a wonderful
SURPRISE!



cold, cold,cold and dark....



So I must admit he is a DOLL!!
The sweetest pony I have ever met!


Merritt and her Daddy taking a little trail ride. 

Yankee Doodle went to town. 
Riding on a pony.
Stuck a feather in his hat 
and called it Macaroni!!

Christmas Play part2
















Christmas Play Part 1

Last year the kids performed a Thanksgiving play...
this year was a Christmas Pageant.
It was sweet and holy, the gathering
of friends, the carols praising our
Lord and Ezra's solo was enough
to bring tears to your eyes!+













Camp Jekyll Beach Study


So this trip will forever be ingrained in 
my mind. Our guide set us up for fishing between 
the shore and a little ripple of a tide pool behind.
QUICKLY the tide came in and left us all standing 
on a sand bar. Even in the wind and cold our
kids (and parents) were so EASY... taking off shoes,
rushing around gathering equipment, 
laughing at each other, carrying people 
across the ocean on their backs.
WHAT A GREAT GROUP OF FOLKS! 





















wish I had more pictures of people being carried!
sometimes thigh high water!
