Spring in our city

We are finally seeing signs of beautiful spring here in Buffalo! After so many months of snow, freezing weather, and no green in sight, I cannot even express how wonderful it is to see green grass, leaves growing on trees, and flowers! I've been taking lots of pictures around our house because it's so exciting.

This is the tree right in front of our house (the pics are taken from our balcony). Up until about a week or two ago, it was completely dead with no leaves at all, and then all of a sudden green started appearing!

And then this pic was taken just a few days after the above one!

Here is one of our street also taken from our balcony:

These flowers are in our front yard:

And this is our backyard. We had no idea all these beautiful flowers were underneath all that snow!

Then I took this one just days after the above one... You can see how many more flowers there are and how the ivy on the wall has grown.

We let Boston run around the backyard, and sometimes the downstairs neighbors come out with their dog, Luna, and they play together. It's so cute.

Here we are in our backyard:

So YAY for spring!!

This past weekend we had a Restoration Church hang out night at Melissa's coffeehouse, and Wes played. We had lots of folks come out, and it was a really fun night. Here are a few shots from that:
