September update

Sophia was in two horse shows this month.  The first one was an in-house show.  Sophia placed first in equation and trotting poles.  She placed sixth place in pleasure.

Sophia competed in the mini stirrup division for the first time.  She placed fifth place in all classes.  She looked great to us but I think it was the diagonals that got her.  Either way she had a blast and said "Well at least I have stuff to work on." when she was done.

Steve took Sophia to her first comic book convention.  She dressed up like Princess Celestia from My Little Pony.  Her costume looked great.  She will dress up in this costume for Halloween too.

The school held its annual Fall Festival.  Sophia had a blast.  Abbie joined us for a while.  Sophia is so good with young children.





















Sophia loves animals and No No is no doubt in love with her.

The month ended on a low note.  Grandpa Skip took a turn for the worse and passed away on October 4th.  We got to see Grandpa and told him how much we loved him.  Sophia says her best memories are when we swam in the pool with Grandpa.  He will be missed.
