Horse Riding Fun

 One of Leah and Ella's favorite things to do on the farm is ride the horses. 

 So this year when they asked to ride and my dad kindly obliged, 

 they were all smiles. 

I also decided horse riding might be a good occasion to break out my nicer camera. 

Enjoy the non-phone pictures. 

Even Annie enjoys her time on the farm. 

 We were to THANKFUL for a trip to Kansas for Thanksgiving and the nice weather while we were there, even if it did get cut short from the Blizzard of 2018. 

The Big Sister

I did't really have any idea how Leah would react to having a little sister.  Before Ella arrived, Leah was displaying some typical 3 year-old behavior and I was starting to prepare myself for the worst.  I had resigned to the fact that I might never get nap time again, a thought that in it's self exhausted me without ever even thinking about adding a newborn to the mix.  I have however been pleasantly surprised with Leah's behavior and I'm throughly enjoying watching her in her new role as big sister.  I'm sure we'll still have our days where things don't go this well and I can only imagine what it will be like with two girls fighting, but for now I'm trying to treasure these sweet grown-up moments with Leah.
