April... just beginning

I love this month for photos! Yesterday was the first day we ventured out with some of us in only short sleeves. Sandals are just around the corner now! I'm so happy!

We had a great day: worship, rest and fun together as a family outside. Isaiah enjoyed a great baseball lesson with Papa...



.... and then we headed to the slides in our apartment complex.







Here are a few fun shots with friends....This is a dear friend B (who drew the pictures for our Jesse Tree Christmas banner, which I posted about in December)

Saturday we took a picnic with some dear local friends to a great park nearby. For city-livers here, parks are NOT places for quiet, peacefulness. Many of them are absolutely beautiful, but the catch is that you have to be willing to enjoy them with about 10,000 other nature fans. This park was crowded- fully packed- but we enjoyed it well still! Marian even picked up on a little of one of the activities at the park. On weekends there are often dozens of clusters of people scattered around the park involved in all sorts of different arts and sports and hobbies.
