We just had another beautiful week-end with horses in it.
Only this time they weren't tethered ponies....but the real deal.
Beautiful thoroughbred horses.
I had a family photo shoot on Sunday, on location - out in the country and thought we should make it a family thing at the same time.
So we stopped somewhere for a brunch and then they dropped me off at my shoot and went exploring. They spied some horses behind a fence when the owner spotted them and invited them in. (Really nice guy!) He gave them a tour of his grounds and stables and invited them to watch as a few of his horses were having a practice jump with their trainer in a little while. I arrived just as they were headed in the field with their horses.
What a treat!
The girls wished we could have stayed all day and were less than thrilled to have to pile into the car and leave. They both had been getting up their nerve to ask for a ride but we quickly explained that these horses weren't the same as last weeks. (But that kind of logic went right over their heads.)
Me thinks there will be more horses in our future.
Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!

2 weekends in a row! Oh my goodness Wanda! That is so exciting! I love that the owner was so personable and invited you over to visit! How incredible for the girls. I hope they get to go riding again soon. I always take the kids riding at least once or twice a month in the summer. They love it so much.
That's absolutely gorgeous - and a reminder for me to get out and ride!
How splendid! What wonderful luck being welcomed so warmly, resulting in a glorious day!
I miss you Wanda but am glad to stay in the loop here! I must update soon ( i have the best of intentions:)).

You really captured the beauty of those horses. What great weather you seem to be having. The girls look fabulous as always.
Happy spring.

Beautiful is right! I love these. They remind me so much of how many years of my childhood were spent.
Wow..the colors are so grand in these shots and those thoroughbreds sublime.
I love the expressions on the girls' faces...and of course the amazing outfits. Look at the legs on Dahlia...talk about thoroughbred! WOW!
Love those girlies and love their Mama!
