Today is Valentine's Day! I haven't blogged in a really long time.
We are back from Germany. We had a lot of fun on our trip, as usual. Christopher and Annika had more riding lessons with Susanne Moser. Christopher rode a beauitful mare named Luna, and Annika rode an equally beautiful mare named Sugar. Both kids had their very first riding lessons last year on Sugar.
I had a really good time in Beijing with my brother and father. I climbed the Great Wall, visited the Temple of Heaven, the "Bird's Nest" (new Olympic stadium), the Forbidden City, Tiannanmen Square, and countless markets.
During this time, my mother and grandmother looked after the children in Germany. My mother also used this time to enroll them in German public schools, which turned out to be a good experience for them. Still, I am glad that we are homeschooling.
We are back in Arizona and are definitely back in our typical routine. There is one thing, though, that is new with us. We are expecting another baby in mid-July! This is very exciting for us.
Well, this concludes my post for the day, as we have to be ready for Aikido lessons later today.
