2007 in Review (Fall)

Natalie started back as a big 7th grader at ACMA. She has some great electives this fall including sculpture, computer graphics, computer animation and concert choir.  Makes me want to go back to school!! She also got braces! The bad part of that was getting two teeth pulled... that was NOT fun but she was such a trooper.

We went to Inavale for a one-day horse trial (eventing) show. It was so fun to camp with our horse friends! Can't wait until the 3-day show in 2008! Natalie and Memo had a great day and ended up with a 4th place!

Memo is now officially part of our family. After 7 years of riding, Natalie has a horse of her own! We surprised her with Memo as a present for her 13th birthday (and her present for the next 10 birthdays!!) We just adore Memo and know that she and Natalie will have many great times together.

Jim's parents came for Thanksgiving weekend. It was great to spend time with them... they definitely got to experience the joy of some cold days at the barn!!  Brrr!!

We are looking forward to the holidays. Christmas Eve will be in Wilsonville with my sister and her family and my parents. Christmas Day will be here at our home with my family.  We are definitely looking forward to some extra sleep, watching movies and just general down time. It will be the best gift of the season, spending quiet time with family and friends. Our best to all of our loved ones this holiday!
