Romans 12:2

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

A First for Esther!

Here's Esther...on her 4th day here she was already horse back. She is adjusting so well, and just doesn't want to miss out on anything. She is wanting to be a part of everything we do and seems to be having fun learning. She is a sponge and just taking it all in. She is observing and asking questions often. Mostly kitchen questions. She is very into the kitchen...she is an excellent cook and I've learned to just let her do her thing and she cooks what she likes....she is getting familiar with our appliances and she seems happy in the kitchen. She is not a big fan of my cooking or our food in general, but she is very good and telling me what food she needs and then she whips it up herself and quite proudly I might add. She likes to cook for everyone...so we try it and Americanize it...like when she made chipote...we added butter and sugar and it was just like an elephant ear. Yummmm!!! She had everyone involved in her chipote cooking...Luke was rolling out the dough and it had to be just right or she would ball it up and start over...I was giggling to myself!!!


The first time getting on the horse was an experience. Of course we put her on the bomb proof horse...but apparently not Reece proof...because just as I got her on the horse..Reece threw a rope at the horse's head and she reared up and was kind of throwing a little fit...I jerked Esther off the horse, not knowing how this was going to go. After everything settled down we convinced Esther to get back on, she was pretty scared, and she just sat for a few minutes and then she began to relax and pet the horse, we also backed Reece up so we didn't have another "roping incident"! It all ended on a good note. Leave it to Reece...he keeps us on our toes around here. Life would just be boring without that kid! haha I don't know if you noticed, but the trailer we raffled off and got donated back to us is in the background. That trailer is a symbol to us of God's unfailing faithfulness and provision. He is just so good to us!!!

I LOVE THIS POST!! I can't wait to learn some things in the kitchen from this little kitchen whiz! Now, it looks to me like you guys were the problem, Reece? He was IN CONTROL and everyone should be AWARE of this. Got it? Esther sure is a beauty.
