Sgt. York and the Old Guard

| just for fun

January 8, 2010

On Sunday while my parents were still here Josh arranged for us to go take a private tour of the Old Guard / United States Army Ciassion Platoon 3rd Infantry at Ft. Myer. This is just about the nicest barn I have ever seen. These horses have it so well. They do the funerals at Arlington National Cemetery. The horses are cared for and trained every day. Their riding bridals and saddles are polished every working day at 4am. The soldiers in this unit do everything for these horses, from cleaning stalls, to training to making horseshoes. So on our private tour we got to meet all of the horses and give them a few peppermints. The most exciting horse to meet was Sgt. York. We even got a few souvenir horseshoes one of which was worn by Sgt. York. He was the riderless horse at Ronald Reagan's funeral. That is the horse that rides with out a rider and with Reagan's boots in the stirrups facing backwards to resemble the soldiers last ride looking back on his troops. Nancy Reagan brought her husbands boots to the stable the day before the funeral. Being at Arlington is amazing being surrounded by so much history. We have been several times since we have lived here and each time I learn something new. Here are a few shots from the day.

Here is Sgt. York. The spunky black one. He is full of energy.

Muehlendorf Christmas Card

| just for fun

December 21, 2009

I just wanted to share my Christmas card. I only make my kids do a photo shoot once a year because they hate it and I hate it. I like capturing them randomly and informally. So I was making them get all showered and thinking of where I wanted to take them. Then I just decided to let them put on PJ's and climb in my bed. I even let them grab their favorite stuffed animals ( Daddy Bear, Mommy Panda, Horton and Saw-Wash). So 5 minutes was all I needed, just a few shots. Do you know how hard it is to shoot my kids? Well it is hard for me to shoot my kids. I never have problems with other peoples kids but mine are impossible at times! It was all I could do to get a few frames with Will's tongue inside his mouth. They are so goofy and just wanted to cut up. So this is them. My goofy kids. Merry Christmas!

Color Me Happy

So I wanted to make a lot of Christmas gifts this year and I just didn't have time. BUT I did make one for my cute niece Hannah who is 3. I crocheted this little pencil holder and then felted it. Then I sewed on the fabric and made the little slots. I think I like it so much because I love the colors. Colors make me happy and I hope this little handmade gift makes Hannah happy.
