First Day of School

Another exciting start to a school year!!! A day I thought would never arrive, both girls in school. I still can't get used to the idea that both girls are old enough to be in school, especially Amanda in Kindergarten!!!! The years go faster and faster.

Amanda has started her first year of school and is very excited. She insisted on riding the bus to school, she thought that was going to be the best part!!!

Emily started 3rd grade. The first year of real grades, lots of test, cursive and multiplication. Wow!!!

Both girls got excellent teachers and it should be a really good year.

Maymont

While Grandma was here visiting we took a picnic lunch and spent the day at Maymont Park. It was a fun day!

A few Easter pictures of the girls!

Horses

The girls and I (with some friends) volunteered for the Disney Give a Day, Get a Day and we had a blast. We volunteered our time at a horse farm north of here that rescues and cares for newborn foals. The morning we arrived they had just welcomed a newborn 2 hours before we arrived and we were lucky enough to watch it learning to stand and walk. We also were able to watch a horse that was only 6 days old. The farm had 125 horses and we spent time grooming them, loving them and just having fun. I have never met so many love able horses!!!!

This baby is 6 days old

This is the baby that was 2 hours old and doing very well. Sorry for the blur of the pictures, they had them behind a glass viewing area.

Emily's class at school was learning about China. They had an assignment to make a dragon head out of a cardboard box. The paper said that parents could help. This is Emily's dragon head and yes, she did do a lot of the work.
