...and She's Off!!!

Ellie decided last Friday that she wanted her training wheels off. So, Stan took them off and gave her a few riding lessons. That's all it took! She was beaming! We were so proud of her. Leah was a super big sister and patiently helped her over and over. Here are the shots of Saturday morning's early practice rounds.



Getting a little push from Big Sissy.....




She's ready to launch.....






She's solo!!!!




By the end of Saturday, she was starting herself and using the brakes to stop. By Sunday afternoon, she was making the turns without putting her foot down! Ellie is a spunky little thing...gets that from her great-Grandma Martin (from whom she was named). Our girls have grown so much this year. We pray they are growing in the truth of the Lord as much as they are growing physically. 3 John 1:4 says,"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth."
