Day 58

Our Tulip Tree has started to bud.  I can't wait to see it in bloom.

Lenten Rose

Day 56

Again…this is for yesterday!  I have been off this week!

Our daffodils are trying very hard!  I cannot wait to see the first bloom!

Day 55

Cousins

Day 54

These are for yesterday. It was so beautiful outside. I should have gotten out my camera, but I was just enjoying the moment. Here are a few from my iPhone. 

Day 53

Today our niece turns 4 years old!  She loves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles so that was her party theme!

I just love her!

Day 52

Tonight our church hosted its Third Annual Dodgeball Tournament!  All of the money goes to benefit the local food pantry (also started by our church years ago).  Brendan was asked to play on a middle school team so we all went to support him.  I have mailed my best long range lens back to be cleaned and calibrated so I only had an old kit lens.  It took horrible photos, but it is what it is.  Here is a shot of the boys waiting to play.  They ended up coming in 3rd place!

Another unique thing that happened today is that a turtle was in our driveway when JC and I headed out for our Friday lunch date.  Thankfully JC suggested that I go and grab my Nikon to snap a couple of photos.  This little guy tucked into his shell so quickly when I picked him up to move him! Ha!

Day 51

Throwback Thursday

This is Emma the night before we left Moscow for the United States in October 2009.  Seems like a million years ago; seems like yesterday!

Day 50

Another sign of spring…

I cannot wait!  After a very cold winter, I was giddy with temps in the 70s today! And…while walking around outside, I saw this beautiful sight!  It's about time!

Day 49

My girl…
