In April Hayden continued with weekly soccer practice and games and school began to wind down. She had an open house one day at school and Matt and I were invited in to walk around to different classrooms with her to see what she's learned. She seemed most interested in the math activities and was really excited to show us around. We were also invited in to watch her do her year-end presentation on The Fierce Five (US Women's Gymnastics Team in the 2012 Olympics). She worked really hard on the poster board she used during the presentation and presented the information she learned to her classmates. She was nervous and shy in front of everyone but we were really excited to be there to see the presentation.
In preparation for her fifth birthday we also met with our long-time photographer, Karen to take pictures. Karen got a couple of cute shots of the girls and Matt had a fun time wrangling Ellie out of the pictures of Hayden. We also took Hayden to her very first play, Beauty and the Beast. It was a Friday night and the show didn't start until 7:00, which is only an hour before her bedtime. But, with a little help from some Reese's peanut butter cups she made it all the way through the show and fell asleep in the car at 10:30. She really loved the show and we loved being able to take her. We can't wait until Anabelle is big enough to come along too.
Anabelle continued to be a complete rock star with potty training. Her vocabulary has exploded in the last few months and it's so fun to have actual conversations with her. She is Hayden's biggest cheerleader at soccer and one night during dinner she said, "good job Hayden! I'm so proud of you!" Her hair is starting to get longer and can easily fit into pigtails and her smile and wonderful attitude continue to light up our house. She's just getting to be such a big girl! This month she also had picture day at school and the difference in just the last year is so crazy.
Matt and I stayed busy too with his monthly golf group, Tin Cup Tour, and my Book Club and scrapbooking events. We attended the second annual "Second Chance for Sophia and Friends", a charity event hosted by Jim and Audra Small. It was a huge success and we took home some great silent auction prizes...including a dozen Paradise Bakery cookies every month for a year! YUM!! We also went to the second annual WebPT spring carnival and had a blast. I just can't believe how much the company has grown in the past five years. This year's event had close to 300 people (about 100 out of 150 employees plus their families) and was at the Enchanted Island at Encanto Park. They had a band, hula hooping, pie eating contest, Italian ice, hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill, two bounce houses, and a face painter. That was in addition to the train ride around the park and the mini amusement park for the kiddos.
It was another great month in the Wolach family! Enjoy some of our favorite pictures in the slideshow below.
