Daddy's here!

Dad arrived today!  I took Emilie in the airport while Aubrie stayed in the car with Gram and drove around.  When Emilie saw her dad, she about jumped out of my arms and said loudly, "hi da!"  She was so happy to see him.  She rested her head on his shoulder and kept sticking her fingers in his mouth.  That seems to be her thing.

We had a good day today.  The girls took their naps in the car because we have an hour and a half to the airport.  While in El Paso, we ate at Pro's Ranch Market.  It is a supermarket that has regular groceries but you know how grocery stores have delis, bakeries, and ready-made food?  This has that, but it's HUGE.  It has all the Mexican pastries, a juice and salsa bar, a tortilla machine and fresh tamales, cooked meats, sides, everything.  I had 3 tacos with rice and beans, Adam had a steak burrito, and mom had a shrimp cocktail which was more like ceviche.  The girls ate chicken taquitos.  Aubrie got a kick out of the pinatas hanging from the ceilings and the lively music they had playing.  We had a good time. 

Dad and I roped this afternoon.  Duke is still in training and he didn't do too hot today, but he'll get better.  He is such a good, gentle horse.  He just doesn't know how to chase a cow.  And that is fine.  He'll get it.  Dad wants to train him slowly.  Aubrie rode him all by herself (which means on the saddle by herself and I was leading the horse) for 3 laps in the arena to warm him up.  She also would not go into the house until she fed Duke his grain.  Adam got to witness her tasting the sweet feed.  He enjoyed watching her playing in the dirt.

It is fun to be back in the arena with dad.  We spent many days and hours in the arena as a family.  We are looking forward to Robbie, Kasey, and Lindsey joining us tomorrow. 

Love to all!
