Come a long way!

2.5 months ago we started here... lots of water and lots of rotten flooring :S

Tonight, after Steve and Martin did finishing work all afternoon we are here:

It's coming along and I'm so thankful!

Ps. Dad O. this is for you with love :)

Makes Me Smile

We haven't had a face this cute around here since Sam lost his first top tooth :)

I guess I could have washed his face first but every time he grins at me and every time I hear that tiniest of lisps I can't help but smile.

It's a Wrap!

Today Leah had her final vaulting moment...or at least final until she talks me into driving her over there because she has an open invitation to stop by to work in the barns or have a lesson.  Thanks to Alisa and Barb who have been such an amazing part of Leah's life these last 3 years!! 

 

Today they had the usual October show and Leah was allowed to participate as her final vaulting event.  She went as Pippi :)

 

I haven't seen Leah vault much for the last few months as I was dropping her off and Steve was picking her up and I have NEVER seen her vault on Tristan - the team's biggest horse.

I will admit that while I think her mount up is absolutely beautiful and stunning for such a tiny girl/huge horse combo, I always hold my breath until she's actually up!  (It's quite hard to see but it's the first couple seconds of the video where she gets on Tristan by running beside him, giving a big jump, throwing her leg up and over all the while using her arms to pull herself the rest of the way up.)

It was a very cold but VERY fantastic day.
