Hello again - Time for Favorite Family Photos - when you are done here, please continue your tour by clicking on the picture of the photo album above - it will magically transport you to our host, Deborah's blog, where you will be able to see who else is posting family photos today!
The pictures I'm showing were taken a few years ago - my grand daugher Natalie was just a baby, and now, if you recall from previous Friday photos, she is now a big THREE years old! I was lucky enough to be offered a miniature horse, and he was perfect for giving the grandkids rides and teaching them about animals when they came to visit from out of state. Bojangles, as you recall, was used in my pet therapy program when I worked at the hospital a few years back. He has been sold now, but is fondly remembered whenever I look at some of the pictures I have taken with him and the people he has delighted by his personality.
As an infant, Natalie was more thrilled with the prospect of grasping the saddle horn, as you can see in this picture! She had very little hair back then - amazing to see her very curly locks these days! Makes you wonder if it's the same child!
These pictures were taken in the springtime, as evidenced by the new green leaves on some of the trees. The previous photo shows Dogwood flowers in the right hand side, behind Bojangle's butt! It has started to green up here in Michigan a little, but not as much as these photos, yet. Soon, tho - real soon.....I love this picture - Katie has such beautiful hair - it made for a very nice shot as she played with Natalie, swinging her up into the air. Babies love that kind of play - they seem to have no fear at that age, and are so trusting...Natalie STILL has no fear - she's taken acrobatics classes, and tumbling for toddlers at a younger age - and she thinks she can do anything she wants to do without reprocussion ---That can be good in some ways, but also 'not so good', as you can well imagine!
Thanks for visiting - and please don't forget to leave your comments! I love to read them!

What great pics!!! You can tell your such a proud Grandma and love your grannies to pieces! Natalie looked like she was a very happy baby and from previous posts, I know she's a very happy (and beautiful) little girl! Thanks so much for sharing
I am late for VTT but I'm comment on this one first! Great photos. Clear and crisp. Looks like everyone was having fun! Ruby
What great pictures! I'm sure you and your grand daughter will Treasure them forever. I have a picture of me on a horse when I was a baby. I have a few pictures of other family members on horses that I am thinking about posting them!
Hugs,

Good morning Classy Chassy, I love your pony photos with Katie and your adorable granddaughter. Katie does have gorgeous hair. Your last photo with the pony shows how pretty you are. Nice pics today.
I was born in Lapeer, MI. We live in NC now. I love to visit MI and family there.
Hugs...Jeanne
Your little GD sure is cute and seems like she loves horses already. Nice picture of you and the pony.

Your little granddaughter is so sweet. You'll have to get her into blogging someday and let her see your gift of love to her.
Get well.
Isn't it amazing how fast our baby's grow! My son and daughter-in-law are having a baby girl in June. Now I get to watch another one grow up along my precious Riley, who will be three in August!
Take care, Sue
I think baby Natalie will be a natural horsewoman.
How great! I love your words that go with the photos. Would be great to print them and add them to a photo album along with your great photo.
Love that pony and love the picture of Katie and Natalie!
They grow up so quickly, don't they? Your photos are adorable, but my favorite photo is the one with Katie holding Natalie up in the air. Katie's beautiful hire is shining in the sun and Natalie has that cute little tongue sticking out! How precious!
