SPRING FEVER

Every spring I say I am going to take pictures of the kids next to our beautiful azaleas... and every year the time gets away from me. Well, not this year! I actually pulled it off for once!





These pictures were taken in our side yard. The azaleas in the front are already disappearing! I was feeling my window of opportunity getting smaller-- I had to get the shots today!

I took these pictures in the late afternoon. The lighting was great, but it was really windy this afternoon. The kids weren't too tired from school because they were just coming off their spring break; however, they would rather have been playing in the backyard instead of posing for mom! They did really well, all things considered.

HOUSTON ZOO

Spring break was coming to an end and the weather was gorgeous, so Sunday we went to the zoo. The kids had a great time. Claire and Matthew were excited to ride the new train, and Stella- for the first time- noticed the animals! It was a nice way to end spring break.

AUNT SANDRA AND UNCLE BERNIE

Every winter my Aunt Sandra and her husband, Bernie leave the frozen north in search of warmer climates. This year they came our way! We had so much fun catching up and visiting. Claire and Matthew were excited the day Aunt Sandra and Uncle Bernie came to their school to pick them up! My kids are really good at wearing people out... just ask Bernie, who tried to keep up with them in the backyard before dinner! Here are some shots of the visit! We had a great time, and I hope to see them again soon.
