We spent most of last Saturday doing some projects around the house.
First of all, we got dirt, plants and seeds to make our garden. We had enough dirt to fill all seven buckets and planted red, yellow and green peppers, a tomato, cucumbers and some zinnias and sunflowers. I was excited to find the first of our seeds sprouting this morning!
We also put up a plastic mesh around the balcony so Lance could play out there without the danger of falling through the railings. Two evenings were spent fixing flats on our bikes and installing some shades on the balcony. Besides blocking the sun, the shades give an element of privacy and we had a candle light dinner on the porch one night!
My Mom stopped by last night on her way to visit my brother in Indianapolis. We decided to take advantage of her many years of experience taking family pictures in the bluebonnets. Mom hopes this post will inspire my siblings at home to get out and take some pictures while she’s gone 🙂
Here’s our cute little family.
I love the colors and expressions in this shot.
Here’s Lance boy about this time last year – about 3 weeks old….and here he is this year, such a big boy!
How do we get all these smiling shots? Do we have a natural camera ham? Not quite….
The first reaction to flower photos was less than picturesque.
However, after being cheered by Grammy…and bribed with Daddy’s cell phone (barely visible above the flowers)…
Lance was all smiles. You see, it’s all a matter of persuasion.
