Oh, dear.

I've been a bad blogger.  No posts in a year or better?  At some point, it will be time to stop MommyBlogging because my daughter will want her privacy.  That doesn't change the fact that she is awesome.
We're getting ready for Mayra to start 3rd grade.  We left the public school system in favor of Caravel Academy, a smallish private school near our home.
Our big, big news is that Mayra has her own horse now.

How did this happen?



She had gotten to a point with her riding where once a week lessons weren't advancing her skills, what she needed was more riding time.  That pushes us into leasing or buying, and with leasing it's still somebody else's horse, and if the kid gets attached and they decide not to lease any longer, or if they sell the horse, then your child will be devastated, so right or wrong, we dived into horse ownership a bit earlier than we had initially planned on.  We found a good barn, and we get good help which we appreciate so much.
