THE HOPPENJANS FAMILY: April 2009

Tavistock Cup

These pictures are a little overdue as they are from the Tavistock Cup that took place in Orlando over St Patrick's Day. Eric and Maddox had a great time with Darin, Amanda, Kerry and Judy! These were too cute not to share!

Catching Up!

Here's some more pics from all that Maddox has been doing lately. He's into EVERYTHING. He walks around ojects and is brave enough to test the waters of letting go. But, he falls each time! His 7th and 8th teeth are just breaking through his gums so hopefully he'll get a little break from the discomfort soon.

First Hair Cut (sort of)

Maddox had a weird point of hair that covered his forehead so we decided to cut it this weekend before his 9 month pictures. Here are the before and after shots!

Easter #2

On Easter morning, Maddox woke up to find a basket full of goodies from the Easter bunny. He brought him a Fridge DJ, new clothes and shoes, a boo boo bunny, some new balls and eggs full of Puffs! Maddox got Daddy a picture frame made out of a recycled circuit board (is that appropriate or what?!). The Easter Bunny also put his morning bottle in the basket. That Bunny is so smart... He loved it!

Later in the day, we traveled to my parent's for Easter dinner. Maddox was fighting a cold and not feeling very well so we didn't stay long. He still enjoyed playing in his basket though and hunting for eggs.

Happy Easter

Our first Easter weekend was spent at Kerry and Judy's. The weather was nice and Maddox had a great time hanging out with his family. His cousins were extra nice in the egg hunt and helped him find lots of eggs! He also got to mow the grass with Papaw. I'm not sure who loved it more- Papaw or Maddox!

Special Times at the Children's Museum

This post is all for Maxine. Behind me is a mastedon that her husband, Mark, helped uncover many years ago. Mark passed away in 2007 but he was an important part of my life growing up and it was important to me that Maddox got to see the mastedon too. I couldn't wait to rush up all the ramps to see what I remember visiting when we were little. Every time we visit the Museum, I'll show Maddox the mastedon and tell him that Mommy and Aunt Sarah knew a person who worked on that! Thanks, Maxine for those special memories- I can't wait to pass them on!
