Saddle Up, Cowboy!

This past Saturday E.B. got to experience his first horse ride.  He went to a cowboy-themed birthday party at a real barn out in the country.  It was absolutely freezing, but that didn’t stop my little guy from thoroughly enjoying himself.  I was concerned that he might be afraid of the horse, but he couldn’t [...]

Word For The New Year
