What a week
School is back in full force, Awana is getting ready to start back, we've been going what seems like non-stop, and we have a new family member. Her name is Marina and she is from Brazil. My girls just love her. She is so happy and bubbly. She has been with us since last Wed. night and is loving Lavaca. We saddled up the horses, loaded the trailer and took the horses to the rodeo arena and rode for a couple of hours Monday night. Emily rode by herself on "Speedy" (who is almost as old as Sarah) all night and Marina rode "Summer." They both loved it. Emily would rather ride than breathe and Marina has never ridden but is taking to it really good. Last night Marina introduced me to Ceasar (another Brazilian exchange student) as "The best Cowboy." The girls have gone shopping tonight and I guess I'll go home and saddle up and ride off into the sunset. Ain't life great!

1st day of school
Well, it has officially begun. Emily woke up bright and early today and got dressed, cleaned her room, made her bed and then came in to exclaim, "I'm ready for breakfast." I cooked us some blueberry panacakes (as Caroline calls them) and we had breakfast together. (I was a little bummed though because I am out of Steens Cane Syrup which I got in LA last time we were there and I can't find it here) Sarah took Emily to her class and me and Caroline watched some Lions on Animal Planet for a minute. I think Em is going to love this year. Caroline will start preschool tomorrow so the adventure will continue to unfold.
