We, like everyone else in the nation, have been stuck in the house due to the weather. We have all managed to maintain enough control to stay alive and somewhat sane. We were able to see the sun over the weekend, and made a trip to Lake Buchanan. Drake had so much fun fishing and throwing rocks and sticks. In other news, all of our race horses have moved to Ratama Park in San Antonio as of last week. It was very exciting to watch them all load up to begin the season again. They will be stalled in San Antonio but run in Austin and Manor Downs through March and April before heading to Ruidoso, NM. Our first race of the season will be March 7th, so we are getting closer! Also, we are getting closer to meeting Baby McKinney no 2. The third trimester has begun and I will be making visits to the dr now every 2 weeks. By all accounts, we are just 11-12 short weeks away from learning if he will look like Drake. I have finally become convinced that it is, indeed, a girl. So, we will see. I have been frantically making lists upon lists for the things that must be done in order for us to be ready. So far, we have a decent start on a room, but that's about it! We were never convinced that we would have any more children, so we gave everything of Drake's away. We are starting from scratch basically, but all the cute baby stuff is half the fun anyway.
