We have had two weekends of races and, thus far, had some bad luck. Four of five starters have stumbled out of the gates. In quarter horse racing, that is something almost impossible to recover from. So, we'll work on the starts and hopefully be in better shape for Easter weekend. The weather has been gorgeous! Even with the bad luck, we have really enjoyed the race days. Here are some pictures of my little ropers.

Hello! And welcome, March. We are very excited you are here for many reasons. First of all, we have a new member of our family, Macho, Drake's new horse. We are so happy he is here and I will post pictures later. We spent Tuesday and Wednesday in Austin catching up on several appointments. Tuesday evening we met with the sonography department to try to get some fun pictures of the baby like the ones we got with Drake. In Odessa, almost every sonogram we had was 3D, but in Austin you have to schedule them differently and pay for them. So, anyway, we went and the crazy baby was breech with the feet and hands directly in front of the little face. Boo! No pictures. We have to try again. I worried all night that I would now require a c-section, but at my dr appointment first thing Wednesday morning, another sonogram revealed that during the night, some somersault action had occurred and the baby is now head down! Thank you prayers. Dr Moreno says the head is heavy so we are likely to not have problems with the breech.

We were also to meet with the midwife on Wednesday but she had to help during a delivery and cancelled. Another reschedule. Maybe we should move to Austin temporarily....

Sunday we begin race season! Charm Dance and Fredericksburg Too will run in the Longhorn Derby Trials at Manor Downs. Will definitely post our win pictures. Hopefully they will qualify for the Derby which is March 21.

ok, I need to prepare for the day of playing outside. Have a great one and look for pictures today or tomorrow.
