A Mother's Love







"Here is a sweet, fragrant mouth to kiss; here are two more feet to make music with their pattering about my nursery. Here is a soul to train for God; and the body in which it dwells is worthy of all it will cost, since it is the abode of a kingly tenant. I may see less of friends, but I have gained one dearer than them all, to whom, while I minister in Christ's name, I make a willing sacrifice of what little leisure for my own recreation my other darlings had left me. Yes, my precious baby, you are welcome to your mother's heart, welcome to her time, her strength, her health, her tenderest cares, to her lifelong prayers! Oh, how rich I am, how truly, how wonderfully blest!"

- from Stepping Heavenward, by Elisabeth Prentiss

Horses, Horses, Horses

As some of you know, Emma came in 2nd place at her first horse show in Murfreesboro, TN last weekend. There were 4 girls total that competed in the Small Fry Trail event. We were so proud of our princess...she went slow when she was supposed to go slow and trotted when she was supposed to trot. Everything was perfect except Ollie's hoof tapped one obstacle at the end. Enjoy the clip!

It's Raining, It's Pouring...

Well, we've been hit by the Chicken Pox and Pink Eye here at the Hendricks home. It's all fun and games until the scratching starts!
