April

April was a super fun month for us!!!  Hannah had her very first dentist appointment!  She was very brave, but a bit apprehensive at first.  Thankfully the ladies at the front desk hung out with Ethan so I could focus on being with Hannah.  Her favorite part of the visit was getting her new toothbrush!  As soon as we got home, she ran upstairs and threw away her old toothbrush and told everyone we saw that she got a new one!!  The second weekend of April, we went to Asheville for a day trip to see the flowers at the Biltmore, and lucked out as it was the perfect weekend to see all the tulips in full bloom!!!  Tulips are by far my favorite flower and it was just so fun to see so many of them!!!!  Hannah had a blast with her cousins and Ethan tolerated the day pretty well in the Ergo, but loved the opportunities to crawl around in the grass!! Then for Easter we headed to St. Louis to see Grandma Margie and Grandpapa.  Again Hannah had so much fun playing her cousins and her grandparents.  She loved to go visit the horses with Papa, and read with Grandma.  Ethan was so cute smiling and waving to everyone.  Easter was fun, but unfortunately Hannah came down with a pretty high fever.  It was just a little virus, but it made Easter Sunday not quite as fun as it would have been.  She did enjoy hunting for eggs and opening up her Easter basket, and luckily the tylenol kicked in enough to enjoy Easter dinner!  Then the last weekend of April, we had a full house!!!  We had the Goforth 6 come to stay with another family of 4 from Asheville. My sister and brother-in-law and the mommy from the other family were doing a sprint triathlon here in Huntersville, and Abby and Caroline (my twin nieces) did their first kids triathlon!!  Again, Hannah LOVED having her cousins here, especially Molly.  And we all had a great time spending time with one another and cheering the triathletes on!!!  Hannah said that when she gets bigger she wants to do a race like Abby and Caroline.  We kept Lauren Sunday morning while the adults were racing, and just had so much fun with her!

Fun at the Biltmore gardens!

Easter Weekend Fun!

Cheering on Abby and Caroline!!

We also had a little photoshoot of the kids done at the end of April.  A woman at our church is starting a photography business and she asked if Hannah and Ethan could be part of her portfolio.  I jumped at the chance and am so incredibly glad I did!  Elaine, at Full Quiver Photography, is so incredibly talented and I am so pleased with the pictures she took!!  Hannah and Ethan had an absolute blast with the animals and all of the fun things about farm life!  They live on a beautiful property and have chickens, roosters, horses, cats and a bunny!  Hannah was able to hold Gus Gus the bunny for a picture, and Ethan LOVED watching the cats stroll by during the shoot.
