Russ made it home on Friday night. He was later than scheduled due to one plane breaking and having to wait for another, but he did make it home and we went for a late dinner at Carinos! YUM!! We slept in on Saturday and just had kind of a lazy day. Though we did work some on the supporting structure of our porch roof extension. After Church on Sunday we came home to finish it now to decide on the roof material. We are debating solid wooden roof or a corrugated plastic that would allow light. We got things figured out for the removable shade wall that I want for the West side of the carport too. Just need to get the supplies. Since we don't use our carport for cars (my van is too tall and Russ' truck just barely fits) we are turning that area into an outdoor living space. The back porch will be a more functional space instead of a leisure space. It works out well I think.
Missy, our puppy, is growing like a weed! She's so much fun though!! The training is going well and she is learning quickly. Which is a good thing since she is getting big so fast! We took her to the park with us on Friday and she had a blast with all the kids around! They seemed to enjoy her too. She is one friendly pup!
This week Lex is having her wisdom teeth removed. UGH! Glad that she can get that overwith though. Those teeth have been causing her quite a bit of pain. She is resetting her own personal schedule too so that she is not stressing so much. She gives herself ulcers! So things are really going to be better for her soon.
Mykhal is doing great with the neighbor's horse! She had not been worked with for a couple of years. With the aid of his riding coach, Mykhal has been able to form a good bond with the horse and was riding her bare back without a bridled bit and still managed to control her! Last week Mykhal's coach loaned him a saddle, bit bridle, and the rest of the rig needed to ride!! He continued to give Mykhal helpful tips as well. So Mykhal got this horse to take the bit again and to tolerate the saddle! Then he rode and rode and rode! He didn't work her hard though so it wasn't stretching her endurance yet. He really seems to be a natural with the horses.
Kerrie is going to be starting to learn piano. We took the summer off from dance. She really is an artistic child!! So much fun to see her enjoying many of the things I have enjoyed through the years too.
All the kids are doing well with schoolwork. We school year round so that we can take breaks when we want them. So we will take a short break when they finish this set of curriculum and then begin the next set.
Life just keeps humming along!
