The Shriners Circus is this week so we went to the parade over the weekend. It was a beautiful day! Oksana liked all of it except the little cars because they were loud! When I asked her on the way home what her favorite part was she said "The quiet part!"
My horse lover has been busy with his lessons. Evan has always been a painfully shy child. Actually I'd say it was beyond painfully shy and was debilitating. There's a whole story behind it that I probably wouldn't share here but you can just trust me on that! Being with horses has been life changing for him. He has come out of his shell (he's still shy, don't get me wrong but is MUCH better) and has a new love of life thanks to these horses.
This is his favorite horse, Tucker.
He is at a hunter/jumper facility and absolutely loves it. He's much more of a daredevil than I am! He dreams some day of jumping something like this...
Here he is jumping just yesterday at his lesson and even at this level I have to close my eyes sometimes ;)!
Besides that we are already starting to prepare for packing, the boys are busy with school and a Lego Robotics class as well as spending their evenings hanging out with the neighbor kids, and Oksana is counting down the days until her birthday! Of course I will be blogging about that very exiting day :). We are also preparing for spring break and planning some fun stuff for that week including Oksana's very first play date with a friend from her class which I will also be sure to blog about!
So as you can see we are managing to keep our minds off of the wait as best as we can while still looking very forward to meeting Miss Anya!

Tucker is an adorable pony! And Even looks like he's coming along really well with his lessons, how long has he been taking them?
He started riding in July of 2011 so note even a year yet. I've never been around horses so I have no idea what to compare it to but I feel like he's doing great!
