New Family Pictures

Our home church, Thorington Road Baptist, is doing a new church directory and we were so excited! Not only will it be great to get a bird's eye view of all our friends and new folks who have joined the church that we haven't met yet, but we were glad to be able to be a part and get a new family picture made. (We haven't had a professional portrait done since...well, it's been at least 5 or 6 years.)

But, alas, the appointments were all over with before we could arrive in Mtgy so we decided we would just go get one done anyway. While were were in Mtgy, we went to Wal-Mart (we're on a budget you know) and the young lady that was working there did a fantastic job. Or at least we think so. So, here they are, the 2009 Reynolds Family Portraits.

Snow pictures...better late than never

A couple of weeks ago we got one of the best snows we have had here. We got out and had some fun in it, and got some pictures, but hadn't had a chance to get them on here. Since things are starting to warm up and we may not get another snow that good, we thought we'd go ahead and share them with you. Better late than never...

Happy Heather

Weekend before last, our good friends Scott and Lamar came up for the weekend to do some work in the gym. While they were here, Lamar (who has owned and ridden horses all his life), got Rolex out in the round pen and started working with him. His patience and gentleness paid off, and before the sun set that afternoon, he had Heather atop Rolex in the round pen.

Now this may not seem like a big deal to you, but for us it was monumental. We had been wanting for Heather to be able to ride Rolex ever since we got him, but we had not really had all the ingredients in place at the same time - the time and opportunity combined with someone who was able to make that connection with Rolex and Heather.

Being a Thoroughbred, Rolex is rather...shall we say high-spirited, and he's also not really an "anybody saddle and ride" kind of horse either. But not only are we able to continue working with Rolex now at this very elementary level, but we have now also made a great connection with our new friends who are the equestrian ministry folks at a local camp ministry. She is willing to teach and work with Heather, and work with Rolex, and we expect that Heather will now get to come full circle with becoming a full-fledged horsewoman. Truly a "Happy Heather"...
