The Equestrian Games






The Equestrian Games have come to Kentucky! We have been trying to figure out how we can have this once in a life time experience on a very lean budget (i.e. because I'm taking one grad class this semester and that has basically zapped our finances). Well, our daughter, Grace, helped us out:) She won two grounds tickets to the Equestrian Games at school by winning a writing contest. HURRAY for our amazing Grace!
Since kids are free that made it perfect for our little family to attend. Unfortunately, tragedy hit and I (Andrea) got sick so daddy took Grace and Ashton to have this once in a life time opportunity and I stayed home with the two youngest who were getting over their sickness. Sometimes life gives you lemons, so you just have to make lemonade (actually hot lemon tea for my really bad cold).

Amanda Sits Up By Herself




We are so proud of our growing girl! She sits up all by herself:)You can also see her new accessory in this picture, her hearing aid. She just got it a few weeks ago. For Amanda it is a multi-faceted instrument. On one hand it helps her with her minor hearing loss in the left ear, but on the other hand it makes a great chew toy:)
