Busy girl

My busy sophomore...
Horseback riding on October 5th, 2013
 The only close up and one that is not blurry...

October 12th, 2013at the Berryville Bobcat Invitational
Jordan finished in 8th place.  Her teammates were in the top 10 as well.

October 22, 2013  4A District Meet  
The lady hornets FINALLY had enough for a team  All 5 girls finished in the top 10. And the team took 1st!
Jordan took 3rd place with her best time of 23.11.
 The boys team finished 1st as well.
 Jordan getting her medal on 10/22/13

And the State Cross Country Meet was on Saturday, November 9th, 2013 in Hot Springs.  We finally got to go and see Jordan run.
First the boys ran...
Then it was the girls turn.  And we even had enough for a full team, plus one...
 And they are off...
 From behind...
 These two raced at the end...
 Way to go Bug!
In the end two girls from our team dropped out of the race and didn't finish.  No team score.  If just one more had finished, we think they would have taken 2nd place.  Jordan finished with her best time though! And it as fun to watch her run.
Here we are waiting for awards...



They Boys were finally able to beat Heber Springs (something they had been unable to do ALL season long) to become 4A State Champions -- their first year with a cross country team.  Go Hornets!

Nature

On October 2nd, I snapped this photo of a rainbow...
On Oct. 4th, I took this photo of the sunset (hard to do while driving)...
This is our tree out front in early November...
Then a bit later in the month...
A few other beautiful trees in our neighborhood...
 A few more that are not quite as stunning...
 
A sunset on November 20th...
What a beautiful world Heavenly Father has given to us!

And here is my front flowerbed, now all cleaned out of the dead vincas on Nov. 25th.
