What we’ve been up to while Steve’s in Japan

May 19th, 2009

On Saturday we went t o our friend Katja’s baby shower.  Penny had a blast playing with her friends and I had a great time to.  I made the cake for the baby shower.  It looked much better in person and tasted yummy!!

On Monday we hosted lunch and mah jongg, and of course Penny’s friends came too.  It’s much easier to play mah jongg now since the babies have started playing with each other!

On Monday night Penny came to my Pilates class and had a fun work out with the little ball while we were using the big balls.

Then this morning we went with Veronica to our friend Marcelo’s riding school and volunteered.  Marcelo has set up a program every Tuesday for the local autism school to bring the kids to his farm and to teach them to ride horses.  There were 22 kids aged 7-18 and they all seemed to really enjoy horseback riding.  It was amazing to see in the span of a few minutes on the horses the changes in the kids.  We had a great time with them leading the horses around and can’t wait to go back next Tuesday.

Not sure what else we have planned for the week, but we can’t wait for Steve to come home!

    The cake(s) look terrific! And I’m sure the chocolate was a real hit. You and Penny certainly are keeping busy. Can hardly wait to see what’s happening for the rest of the week.
