Where does the time go? Mayra started first grade in August, her first experience with public school. The jury is still out on whether or not this is a good fit, but after a rough start, she seems to be getting used to it.

Her class took a field trip to Milburn Orchards, it was interesting and fun.

My daughter LOVES Halloween, to the point where thinking of Halloween costumes is a year round activity. This year she looked so cute bopping around the neighborhood in her poodle skirt and saddle shoes.

She is still taking riding lessons with the awesome Miss Tricia, it makes me nervous, but she has been working on trotting with no hands and no sturrups.

We got in one last trip to Dutch Wonderland, the kids seem to love pretending to milk the cow. Who could have predicted that?
