a prayer finally answered...

Emma Grace took her first horseback riding lesson last week. She has been daydreaming about it, talking about it, and begging Heavenly Father in all her prayers for about 2 years now. I arranged the lessons but decided I would wait and tell her when I picked her up from school and was taking her to the lesson. Todd wanted to be on speaker phone in the car when I told her. He knew the screams of excitement that would happen. It was fun to be the one to tell her and take her. I'm excited for her new adventure!!!!
Todd's boss insisted that he buy Emma Grace riding boots and a riding helmet. And then he brought all kinds of random horse stuff to Todd at work...bridles, led ropes, etc to give to Emma Grace. He was very generous. He says it's because he loves horses so much and neither one of his kids ever got into it. So apparently he is living through us for a moment....and Emma Grace doesn't mind one bit.
