Charlotte Weekend


Over the weekend we traveled south to Charlotte for a very special little boy's first birthday party. Ethan, Morgan's godbrother, turned one on July 26th. Morgan was so excited to get to see her Aunt Melanie, Uncle Patrick, and Baby Ethan. Morgan was also excited to stay in a hotel. She absolutely insisted that she sleep in the oversized chair rather than in the bed with us. She got into her "nest" every night and slept with Ethan's starlight turtle, since we left LadyBug at home.

Morgan had a great time in the community pool during Ethan's party. We stayed for about 2 hours and she showed off how well she learned in swim lessons. She still can't swim, but she's getting so much better. I am sure by next year she'll be a pro. Above she's showing off her new swimsuit that her Mutti sent her :)

Morgan absolutely adores Ethan. She had a great time playing with all of his toys with him. Ethan also likes his godsister. She could make him laugh so hard, and get those deep belly laughs out of him.

Here is the birthday boy himself. So. Stinking. Cute!









While we were in Charlotte Morgan made friends with Aunt Melanie's next door neighbors' kids, Dominick and Jacob. She played a long time with both of them. She also learned how to play cornhole with Daddy and Dominick.

Ah cake....what a delicious cake it was. The birthday boy wasn't too into his cake. Unfortunately there was no cake smashing, but Ethan really did enjoy his piece.

Toward the end of the day, after swimming and cake and cornhole. the kids all got out their games and played...um....together?

Morgan got Ethan to laugh the most by blowing bubbles. She blew lots of bubbles and he laughed and laughed.


We had a wonderful weekend, be it all too short. Ethan and his family will be coming north in October for some Mountaineer football, and we can't wait!!
