A Beautiful Month in the Neighborhood

“Catching Up” on editing before baby boy gets here isn’t looking too promising, but I’ve gotten through another month of family photos! It seems I was a bit snap-happy in March, so I’m going to break it up into two posts. Today: all the photos from home (and the neighborhood.)

Of course, like always, there was plenty of playtime in March, both inside…

…and (mostly) outside!

Our backyard looked so pretty with the azaleas in bloom!

It’s the perfect spot for pre-church posing in pretty dresses. Afton has come to really like this little ritual and will even tell me that we need to “find a shady spot” for her picture. :)

Our neighborhood became even more beautiful with so much Springtime color going on all around.

Our walks to the duck pond got even more frequent in this lovely weather!

Sometimes a baby doll came along. ;)

We started to make real-life neighborhood friends, too! :)

One Saturday, playtime was so exhausting that Afton napped in the hammock on the deck (after months of no naps)!

We are so thankful to live in such a wonderful place! But stay tuned for proof that we did actually leave the block a few times this month. ;)
