The busy month of April


Every weekend held some activity with family or friends in April. Palm Sunday and Easter weekend my parents were here visiting. The following weekend was the MCC sale in Hutchinson. We stayed in Kingman for that weekend and Kara and Braden got to come down as well. We got to show Elaina off at the sale and purchase a few fun items at the auction! The last weekend of April we drove to St. Louis with my grandparents to visit my aunt Bernadette (Sister Mary Catherine) at the monastery of the Poor St. Clare nuns. She got to meet Elaina for the first time. It was great to see her! We also attended Kelly's cousin Mark's wedding and then went to a fun reception afterwards. Elaina turned 6 months and started eating cereal and then vegetables. She also started sitting up quite well. The pictures below are in random order of the events above.

Somebody likes her carrots!

Look who's six months old today!

She's started sitting up all by herself, but still needs a little back support.
