Buds of April

Hello and blessings to all-
Praying this finds everyone enjoying spring and finding buds of blessings.  We did a short camping trip the beginning of April to Caprock Canyons with some friends, then enjoyed celebrating our risen Lord and Savior over Resurrection weekend, and enjoyed seeing Jadon and Kirk participate in The Music Man Kids play at CCA.  Here are snapshots of these bigger highlights of April, along with some other snapshots of April...
