Not all of my photos turn out like I’d like. In fact, I probably trash more photos than I keep. Here are a couple of “outtake” photos of Baby K on Easter; they were just too funny not to share!

(Check out the good Easter photos here and here.)

Not too happy being laid down by herself in the grass

Photo(s) of the Day: New Landscaping

On April 16, 2014April 14, 2014 By LindyIn home projects, photography

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, we just got new siding on our house. The next tasks were to pain the front door to match the shutters, and to add landscaping. I thought the landscaping would be in the distant future, but my parents graciously came over on a couple of different occasions to watch Baby K and help till, spread new soil, and pick out plants. I’m so happy with the final result!

My baby is already two months old! See how she’s grown from newborn, to one month, to today.

A friend stopped by to meet Baby K yesterday and brought three adorable headbands – this one is my favorite!

My daughter met one great-grandma in the hospital, and she finally got to meet the other two this weekend! What a blessing it is that she has three great-grandparents in her life.

I’ve been meaning to post this for weeks now, but things got busy. We had new siding put on our house in mid-February. It was supposed to be done in plenty of time before our baby arrived, but she had other plans. So we brought her home to workers banging on the side of the house for a couple of days. Luckily, it bothered me more than her. Here’s the final result…please excuse the shadows on the “after” photo. Next up: a painted front door and landscaping.
