June update

This month went by super fast, probably because it was soooo busy.  We joined the neighborhood pool and Sophia started taking swim lessons.  She is having so much fun but is very tired at the end of the day.  She took two weeks of lessons in the afternoon while school was still in session and then two weeks of morning lessons.  They invited Sophia to be on the swim team but with our schedule in July it isn't happening.  Maybe next year.

Sophia got sick in early June.  It started with a fever and then had a wax build up in her ear after a cold.  It was very painful but thankfully the antibiotics worked quickly and she was able to attend most of her last week of school.

Sophia finished her two years as a Daisy and is now a Brownie.  We took a hike with with some of the girls in the troop in June.

Sophia went on a trail ride, off lead, last weekend.  She loves being around horses.

Sophia got her hair cut.  They cut about three inches off.

 

She also got new glasses after losing hers.  Of course we found the lost pair behind the chair in our living room after ordering the new paid.

She has just selected her glasses at this point.  The sticker is still on them.

May Update

Time continues to fly by.   We had a great month.  Sophia was in an in-house horse show.  She moved up in the class numbers so she was competing without a lead rope or leader in the ring.  She did GREAT.  She took first place in equation, second place going over the trotting poles and sixth place in pleasure.  She is a serious rider who looks like she is not having any fun at all.  Thankfully I know how much she loves riding otherwise I might think we were torturing her with these lessons.

We joined a neighborhood pool and it opened Memorial Day weekend.  It was chilly but Sophia still went swimming.  We signed her up for swim lessons.  In less than two weeks she is really showing progress.  She is making it all they way across the pool and also has been diving off the side and jumping off the diving board.

Aiden came down for a Memorial Day weekend.  It was nice to have him down.  Both Aiden and Sophia went swimming at Grandma Bev and Pop Pop's pool.  It was too cold for all the adults!
