Day 114

Bloom

Emma picked these flowers for me at Jackson's soccer game.  I love them!  She is such a sweetheart!

Jackson's team tied their game tonight. They should have won.  They all played great!

This photo was taken with my iPhone.  I kind of like the motion blur.

Day 110

Outdoors

When I got home from work, this storm was blowing over...

Day 104

Open

So happy that the buds on our tulip tree have finally opened.

I wanted to post something a little different.  I intentionally went blurry here.

And just because that is also so random, here is another shot of B from this weekend.

Day 120

Last year I posted some pics of a tree we have in our backyard.  At the time I didn't know what kind it is.  Here is a link to that post.  Ironically I did that post on April 29th last year.

This year we are a little behind in the leafing and blooming process.  This tree still amazes me though.  My MIL helped me identify it as a type of magnolia tree.

Day 112

Wow...back to my regular schedule which is pretty amazing since it is 10pm and we are just now getting home from Emma's soccer game and Brendan's baseball game.  Jackson also had a game tonight, but he is at Camp Hanes with his class so actually we had a lighter load tonight than we originally thought!

Here is a photo that I snapped today with my new 85mm lens.  Our azaleas are coming in nicely now.

Day 110

For Easter Sunday, April 20th...

I was so bad this year.  I didn't take any photos of the kids on Easter.  We were missing Jackson; he was still at the beach with MiMi, and I just didn't have the strength to get my camera out.  I was still on west coast time.

Here is a shot I posted on Instagram of our blooming dogwood tree. It is beautiful right now, and I love the story of the dogwood tree and the cross.

Day 102

Today was beautiful! We cleaned the house and then I arranged all of the planters for the spring and summer. We stayed outside most of the day. 

Day 97

Back to reality…literally!

Up at 5:30 am.  School back in session.  One of my all time busiest days at work.

Cold, rainy weather!

Blah

Emma always adds color and sparkle to any day however!

Day 96

PBaseball and spring flowers. 

Day 75

Our Tulip Tree

Spring is trying to arrive, but sleet and freezing rain are in the forecast for the last couple of days left in winter.  We are all beyond ready for warm weather!

Day 73

More signs of spring…

Spring is coming…6 days away!!!  Why oh why is there a wintry mix in the forecast for Monday?

Day 71

Our first full bloom of the year!!!
