Enjoying life together

Sorry everyone it has been such a long time since the last post...the Fildes family has been plenty busy to say the least...here is a recap since the beginning of April...

John - has several new boys in his pd and a few of his boys have recently graduated from the program. Now he has the honor to raise the new boys to their fullest potential while trying to disiciple them in the Lord the through his time spent with them... somtimes John feels like he leads two lives, 100% at work when he is there and 100% at home being a husband and father. He has been so generous with his time helping me out at horse shows and watching Annie - what a blessing!

Jessica - busy with a few new students trying to get as many lessons and shows in before baby Joshua arrives. From the second weekend in April to this upcomming weekend (end of May) I have been coaching at clinics or horse-shows either both Saturday and Sunday or sometimes just one day. John, Annie, and myself have been to the KY horse park 3 times in the past 5 weeks for horse events. One of my students, Kaitlin, has her 'big' horse event in KY this weekend that we have been working towards since the beginning of March - crossing our fingers that she does well this weekend. Here is a link to a utube video that a friend put together of a recent coaching for Kaitlin to prepare for her big KY event http://www.youtube.com/user/GrayHorseDesigns.

After this weekend, horse stuff slows down in preparation for the arrival of Mr. Joshua...

Annie - now has 4 top teeth and almost 4 on the bottom...she so desires to be a grown-up lady already. She keeps trying to talk on her own, but isn't quite able to yet and wishes she could speak full sentences to everyone she sees...She is still in the high percentage of growth for her age and is enjoying exploring all life has to offer...on the down-side, she has been fighting with an ear infection since the beginning of April that we are praying the Lord heals it soon...she is scheduled to see a specialist next week...

Joshua - growing as he should - still active as ever and getting closer to for his blessed arrival day

Enjoy the photos!
