Emma loves to help out in the kitchen. Her favorite thing to bake is cranberry, white chocolate scones. She insists on wearing her chef's hat and apron every time we make them!

Maddie has been riding horses since November and loves it. She rides English mostly but also enjoys Western. She had her first show back in April and won a blue ribbon her first time out.

Jacob, Emma and Chloe have been taking swimming lessons all week at the new pool we joined this summer. They all did great! Chloe was moved up to the next level part way through the week. Maddie joined the swim team and starts practice on Monday.
