April 2013: Spring is in the air in Albuquerque

Another spring arrives in Albuquerque, and it never disappoints! Here are some lovely trees near our home. I also took pictures of Jessica's house and her spring bulbs and flowers in bloom.

Gorgeous Crabapple blossoms near our home on Academy and Layton NE

Sebastian and Jessica's first home in Albuquerque:
7137 Settlement Way NW in the "Taylor Ranch" area

The Dunlap family moved in on the weekend of March 29th, 2013
with the help of a lot of loving friends and family 

Flower beds in bloom and budding!

Look at all the bulbs the previous owner planted--a labor of love!

April 2, 2013: Sam's officer's commission into the Air Force

This was a big day for Sam! He was sworn in and officially became an Officer in the Air Force! So glad that Mike and I could be a part of this new experience for Sam and his family.
