A Little Bit of This and a LOT of That.

It's been so long since I posted I almost feel too overwhelmed to begin... I guess we'll practically skip right over March and just pick up in April?

I had spring mini-sessions at the end of March (many of you received an Easter card from us with some of those images) for 6 clients. For boys I set up an "Opening Day Baseball" themed scene (finally, something cute to get excited about for boys!) and when my work day was over I snapped a few of Max. He's such a good sport. Cute, right?

Spring came way early for us this year... an entire month! In March we had warm temps. That made for some fun outdoors with Max. He has been practicing his swing in both golf and baseball and is loving both sports. His first baseball game is this Thursday. Coach Pitch. FINALLY. We'll see if it makes the game more exciting. Tee ball is awful!

To end spring break we got to celebrate Easter weekend. On Saturday we invited our friends to go with us to a new egg hunt (as Max was quick to point out, "it's not really a hunt because they aren't hidden") in Lebanon. The fun part was a helicopter flew over and dumped tons of eggs onto the field. The kids thought that was extremely cool. I was a little worried about who was steering the thing when the pilot seemed to be using both hands to dump the eggs but whatever.

After the egg "hunt" we came home to color eggs. Max left a plate out for the Easter Bunny, since we didn't have carrots to leave him, and then we were off to church. The next morning Max found his basket of goodies by the door, just where the Easter Bunny left it.

On Easter afternoon we had the whole family over for our third annual Easter celebration. The weather was great, we ate lots of yummy food, and the kids got to hunt (yes, some were hidden!) for eggs filled with candy and money (score!).

We have also been doing several home improvement projects this spring... I guess we are at the three year itch (is that such a thing?) where I want to actually decorate. Our office will get the biggest makeover but it's not complete so that will have to wait for another blog post. Thanks to Pinterest I get all kinds of great ideas for our home! Starting with our covered patio... I have wanted outdoor drapes since we built this house but they are so expensive! Well wouldn't you know painter's tarps from Home Depot do the trick? They were the perfect length! We spray painted some pipes, hung them and used clips to hang our new outdoor "drapes". So perfect!!!!

Before... (well actually one drape on the far right is hung)

....and after

I also finally got around to filling the frames for one of many photo walls I want to create! Here is the before and after... we actually painted the kitchen for the third time as well. Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter. A beautiful, light gray that I want to use all over the house but Chris won't let me. You can see a bit of it in the after pic below by the door vs. the greeny-gray we had in the before photo.

Happy Spring, all! :)
