Windy week!

This week was very windy!  It is hard to describe how windy it has been but I thought these photos of a tree near us gives a good depiction.  It was growing straight up before this week.  Now it is going to need a little help.  

The kids had a busy week with standardized testing which takes a lot of their energy but thankfully might be done next week.  Olivier and Mason had a school band performance on Friday and we get to hear them play again on Tuesday night at the district concert for all the schools in our city.  We are excited to hear all the kids show off their hard work!  On Friday Olivier had the last soccer game of the season and they finished the season undefeated.  It has been a great season!  

On Friday and Saturday we had a warm up that thankfully didn't last.  On Saturday afternoon Cotton wanted some attention from Matt and he just wasn't getting it, so he decided to pout and stare at me instead.

On Saturday when Anna arrived at the barn for her lesson with Matt, she went to get the horse out of her stall and noticed she had a very large cut on her nose.  Late in the day we got the good news that she is all stitched up and will heal.  Whew!  That is one nasty cut!  Do horse girls dig horse scars??

We are approaching the lunar eclipse tonight and I wanted to share a couple photos of the moon from last night.  Spoiled to live where we have such stunning views!  

And, just so we have it documented, Mason is officially taller than me now, by about half an inch!  Crazy to think that he has already passed me up!
