...how it is that my baby girl is turning eight. I remember giving birth. And then, magically, without prior notification, she grew up. She has lost 10 teeth, 3 in a week a couple of weeks ago. She's turning into a beautiful young woman right before my eyes.
We celebrated her birthday last night, and everything she got was horse related. I think she is a horse lover right down to her tippy toes. It's endearing and so fascinating to watch her devour horse books, even technical books, one after the other. She has taken up learning to draw horses this summer. I think I'll try to capture her drawings electronically and then make a book. It's neat to see how she has progressed from stick figures to horses with joints and manes and detailed features.
Monkey Boy turns 6 in two weeks, Mighty Man is 4 and the baby (???) turned 2 this month. I need to start looking at getting organized for school, since we start in August. First, we'll squeeze in one round of swim lessons. This summer has been eaten alive by events outside of our control. The last month being spent in Oregon to help my parents clean out my grandmother's house. That in and of itself has been fascinating, dull, mundane, interesting and exhausting. We'll probably go back in September while my husband is overseas, but that remains to be seen.
Hopefully, I'll have a better time at updating things once we get back into a routine. :o)
