Naaaaaay! Juliet rocks her first horse show!

Juliet had her first horse show on Saturday, and we didn't know what to expect. After getting her all Ralph Laurened up in the appropriate regalia -- which included learning that the collar thingy was for her neck and not for the horse's ankles, she headed off to the ring.

She walked and trotted, which includes that cool move of "posting" in which you move your body up and down to the movement of the horse. (Poor description, I'm sure.)

Check out the pics!!

Another year has passed ...

Well, I'm finally getting active on my blog again ... again for 2009. Three kids has kicked this 40-year-old's butt! Sleep issues, health issues, school issues, extra activities, discipline, entertainment, safety. Oy, the list of parental duties goes on and on and on. Hence, I have not updated my blog for a year. My kids are now 7 1/2, 6, and 2 1/2, so I'm ready to blog.

Well, the picture on the left illustrates a problem, eh? Seriously, folks. My life is in danger here!

I'm back!

This is a picture of Jae from the fall. Notice the drool. My blog is back up and running. Once I get my Mac problems worked out, I'll be publishing regularly.

Coming through the haze

We are finally coming through the haze of jetlag and the shock of being a family of FIVE. It was a rough weekend, but we came out OK. I guess we'll just have to focus on getting ourselves on a schedule and in a routine over the next few months.

Tonight, Jae had solid food for the first time. He had a bowl of oatmeal, and you can look at the photo and bed the judge of how much he liked it. ;o)
