Just a day in April

The weather has been up and down again (what is with this cold year??)… but thankfully a little more ‘up’ in the afternoons this past week [we won’t count today’s 40 and raining in that statement] so we have been able to spend some time outside!  Kinley has been very interested in photographs/photoshop lately.. so we busted out the really old Sony digital camera and let the girls have a …
