The girls were excited to try horseback riding again. They had gone once before. Aunt Wendy had gotten them and their cousins, an afternoon of lessons a few years back.
The first time they went out, they just went around in circles in the exercise yard. This time they got to go down a simple trail.

Emily's soccer season started, so it has taken over most of her time. In fact, she had the Young Women leaders drop her off at the high school in Norco for a tournament game right after going horseback riding. She missed the morning game since we had already committed the girls to go horseback riding, but made it to the afternoon game.

My dad is in the hospital again. Apparently, he chocked while eating his dinner one evening and lost consciousness from the lack of air.. They actually had to do CPR on him, but we don't know how long they took to get him breathing again. Because his heart stopped for some time, there is now brain damage. We can't tell how extensive it is, but it is pretty bad.

A lot of our time has been spent at church Christmas parties. The girls had a Young Women in Excellence night, we had our ward Christmas party and then attended the Messiah Sing-In.
Emily also got to play Joy To The World on the organ during the Postlude at church last weekend. That was pretty exciting...at least for us. She did really great but she was super nervous. She messed up a little at the beginning but was able to just start over and then she played three verses with different stops with no problem.
Caitlyn is working on a song to play at the end of the month but has been struggling with a difficult part. Hopefully she will be able to get it together in time.

Christian finally got his student teaching assignment for next year. He will be doing his first 8 weeks at a high school in Rialto. It's a bit far but hopefully it will work out okay. We hope he will be able to get his next 8 weeks in Riverside.
