Last year, I was blown away by the spring wildflowers. It was the best season I had ever seen in the 14 years I had lived in TX. It lasted from March all the way through OCTOBER!! The only reason I hesitate to post wildflower pics is because I know everyone wants them and the sad thing is, it's totally unpredictable when/where/if they'll even pop up again. But I have hope. And proof that it does happen...even in the fall.

We've had those alphabet cards since I think my 7-yr-old was a baby. Neither of the boys ever really did much with them but perhaps use them as weapons. But she LOVES them...she could do this all day by herself.

Something else both of these two could do all day is paint. Back when the weather first hit a warm spell (which I think was just a few days after it SNOWED), we dragged out her play table into the yard to let them paint. Gosh it was precious...

the artist. the romantic. the friendly dude. the sentimental one. when will my sweet little guy realize that he's got it all?

Maybe I should have been an anthropologist because I absolutely LOVE to observe families being a family. Fascinating, really. These are my favorite kind of sessions...these snapshots of life. (If you haven't watched Babies, yet, you should.)

Gotta start 'em early. ;-)
