As I've seen many of my friends' cute kids posing in the bluebonnets this spring, showcasing our unique state flower, I decided to take my kids out for our annual photo op. It happened yesterday after piano lessons. It was just before dusk, and I contemplated on whether or not we would have enough light remaining--the kids were leaning toward NOT going. But I insisted, thinking that it might never get done because I've been toying with the idea for at least two weeks. As we finally got settled into a cute little shot, I snapped it, then saw that unpleasant little message on my camera, "no memory card." I had left it in my computer! Oh well. The kids were relieved and we headed home. When we pulled into the driveway, I asked them to just wait a moment before going inside, for me to take their picture in front of our flowers.
Here's a little pose of Lindsey and Christopher in front of our house yesterday, with the colorful pansies in full bloom. I hope that we can still may make it out to capture a few pictures of the two of them with the bluebonnets before they wither away.

So for fun, I dug up some old bluebonnet pictures. Here's Christopher on April 9, 2001, peeking through the bluebonnets.

Here's my little Christopher and Lindsey, six years ago. This is Lindsey THEN at Christopher's current age. (She was 9 and he was three.)

Lindsey was grinning big when I read your comment to her. She wondered if you were being sarcastic. I told her "No, she really likes it!"
Poor kid, she must not get enough compliments! Thanks, Jules.
