Firsts

Little Remi Chemi (as Autumn calls him) is smiling!  He is just so sweet!  I can't get enough of him.  I have found that I am quite unproductive with this little guy around.  It is so precious to sit and watch him snore or make funny faces to get him to smile. 

Autumn has really enjoyed her lessons with 'Wobin' each week.  She is doing really well! This last week she learned to lope on her own.  Isaac made a little arena area for the kids to ride and Autumn is using it like a race track.  She giggles and giggles as she kicks with her feet to lope.  It is quite entertaining how hard she has to try to make the horse get into a lope.  It is almost as if the horse is saying " Are you sure about this?  Are you really sure you want to go fast?"  Robin has been working with Autumn on her balance and position in the saddle.  Robin has Autumn fold her arms with no reins or horn so that she focuses on her balance.  After telling daddy " I rode with no hands today Daddy?" Isaac was immediately after her saying "Autumn you do not let go of that horn and the reins, that is dangerous!" We explained the drill and all was ok.  Autumn and Robin are working on different skills so that she can enter a show in September.  Go Autumn!
