September 4

A super Friday...first, Jack served as Guest Reader for Gracie's class. He read What Happens When I Talk to God: The Power of Prayer for Boys and Girls by Stormie Omartian.

I thought he was doing a great job, but after the first page, Gracie corrected him and told him he had to show the class the pictures before he turned the page...so here he is back-tracking. That girl - she's a bossy little thing! I think she gets that from her Daddy :) (Becky, shhh.)

So proud - she just told one of her classmates, "This is MY Daddy reading, you know?"

The reading was at the very end of the day, so the three of us left school and headed to feed horses... and what did we find?

Do you see her? From left front, Matches (5 mos.), his Mom, Stormy, Greta, Dallas, and Cloudy, and in the back, our new little girl, Delaney, and her Mom, ZsaZsa - the whole crew!

Whereas Matches and Lexie just had the red crown on their head, Delaney has a full rosey red face and just above her tail on her back is also quite rosey.

Welcome, Delaney! You are a real cutie!

This is Greta, Lexie's Mom, and we think she should be having a baby soon, too. If she has it soon, we're hoping that ZsaZsa would raise it as well...or, if we're double-lucky, maybe by watching ZsaZsa with Delaney, she would get the hang of what being a Mom is all about.

Poor ZsaZsa's bag is so heavy - supporting another baby in this heat might do her some good - here, she's headed to the feed trough...

Delaney decided that she had had a full day fighting her way into this world and it was a great time for a nap... sleep tight, little one.
