Here we are, FEBRUARY, already! How in the world did nearly 2 months of 2015 already go by? After a nice visit back home to Texas for the holidays and a little stop off in sunny California for a break in flying back with a little cousin and sister time, we are now back in full swing here in the land of Oz. A lot has happened since we've gotten back. A has started Year 3, YES, YEAR 3! 3rd Grade!!! She is still taking guitar lessons, swimming, started playing basketball on Saturday mornings, and of course horse riding. She got some very exciting news yesterday as she was nominated by her riding instructors for the "B Squad". She gets to go for a 5 hour lesson every 6 weeks with the riding school's owner (who is a professional dressage rider) as well as with Queensland's top dressage instructor, lecture time on horse care, and as well as doing a bit of good honest stall cleaning! We were very happy and excited for her as they usually wait until the kids are 8 to move them up to the squads. I just love watching her ride. She is such a natural. (seems to be anyhow....I know cows...not horses but am learning along with her!)
E was supposed to start at a little preschool, but after some deliberation, B and I just decided it would be too long of a day for her. She is still doing her gymnastics, swimming and music classes and the child still LOVES to sing! She is also starting to read a few words on her own, can count to 100 with us, and enjoys being outside running! As always, the both of them keep us busy!
