Horsin' Around

We spent Saturday afternoon at Granny's in Hendersonville celebrating my cousin Shannon's graduation from MUSC (she's now a Speech-Language Pathologist!).
My Uncle Larry & Aunt Deb have several horses. As you can see, Emma was NOT in the least bit afraid of the horses. We have really got to think about hippotherapy for this child!

On the Road!

Emma's been doing a great job of riding a tricycle in therapy. Thanks to her papa and his great deals, she now has a tricycle at home. She hit the road for the first time and we were all very impressed with her tricycle riding expertise!

This is my first attempt at loading a video onto the blog, so hopefully it will work. If you have trouble viewing the video, let me know!

Strawberries!

We headed out to Youngblood Berry Farm on Sunday afternoon to pick strawberries. This is the first time we've tried this with Emma. She *sorta* figured it out immediately. It took no time for her to realize that those were strawberries on those litte bushes, and that we were taking them off the little bushes. She did have a bit of trouble with leaving the bushes intact, with not walking ON the bushes, or over the rows, and with leaving the green berries alone. And, despite my firm objections, she could not be prevented from eating a few of them on the spot!

We are now enjoying the fruits of our labor with some yummy strawberry pie. I'm not making jam this year, because I still have jam from last year. But, I will probably freeze some of the berries for strawberry ice cream later on this summer.
