April update

April was a busy month.  Sophia and I went to visit Grandma Barb in Connecticut.  Grandma bought Sophia some cool gifts.  We went shopping and out to eat. 

We spent Easter with Auntie Linda and the girls.  Stephanie and Hollie set up a private Easter Egg hunt for Sophia.  Sophia gets spoiled when we visit Grandma and Auntie Linda.
 

Sophia entered her first science fair.  Her experiment was entitled "Which freezes faster, plain water, water with sugar, water with salt or water with sugar and salt?"  She loved making the board and checking on her experiment ...every ten minutes for three hours!


Katie, Steve and Sophia all had the same spring break.  They took a trip to the zoo and a nature center.  Katie also passed through on the way back from a band concert.  Sophia and Steve had lunch with her. 

Sophia was in her second hunter show.  This time she rode a school horse and did the lead line and off lead classes.  She placed third and had a great time.  We are careful to help her understand that the fun is in the experience, not just winning.

Sophia loves helping out around the house and helped with some yard work.

I typically take pictures in front of our blooming azalea bushes every May 1st.  That is also Sophia's half birthday.  Which such a mild winter the azalea bushes bloomed  early so these pictures were taken on April 19th.
