AUGUST 27, 2005

Finally, an update! Well, kind of. Some of these pictures have been seen already and so far, there are only two sets; Chance and Abby's first day of school and horse pictures. Hopefully, more soon.

The Kids': The first day of school was August 8. It was Chance's first day of 3rd grade and Abby's first day of "big" school. She's in kindergarten!

The Horse: Whiskey is a roughly 12-year-old mare. Different folks have different opinions about "what" she is. Part Arab, part Paso, part Quarter horse? We just know that she's all attitude. :-) Destiny's working with her a bit before even saddling her. We'll see how it goes.

Remember, clicking on a thumbnail will take you to the full size photo.

Despite early to bed, early to rise is met with a bit of annoyance. Especially when Mom gets out the camera.

Even Abby has a hard time believing the camera is out at this hour.

Showing off the new backpacks, new duds and forced smiles.

VERY excited Kindergartner.

Big smile, long eyelashes and lots of hair. No problem.

Whiskey, Mare, &*@!)@(#* depending on who is addressing her and why.

Being nosey, er, inquisitive.
