This is my "snapshot scrapbook" of our daily doings for my children and family. I hope to preserve the "everyday" for my children and for us so that we can always read it and remember.

Horseback riding!




Sullivan was so confident!


Sawyer got a little help (and Spanish!) with Antonio.


Dad on Poncho.

Last Sunday afternoon, Martha Blount and her extended family graciously hosted us at their family farm,Virala, in Fitzpatrick, AL, for horseback riding.  Martha's parents, Glen and Martha Sanders, were dear friends of our family for decades and I have fond memories of hunting and riding out at their place while growing up. In 1996, Glen and Martha even took us to Mexico for a ten-day experience, which was fantastic. Martha was a Spanish teacher as well, so I had a special connection with her.
On Sunday, all ten of us McRae-Foshee-Murphy group attended and the four kids really had a great time seeing the horses, dogs and beautiful land.  It was certainly no small thing to have us all out there!
Thank you, Martha and Susannah! And thank you, Dad, for wanting all of us to learn to ride and appreciate horses.
