bluebonnets

Last weekend we drove to Chapel Hill to take pictures in the bluebonnets.  The flowers were out in full force (unlike last year, because of our drought--they were pathetic).  We got some great pictures of the three of us (four including Maggie).  If you look really closely in the picture below, you can see her tail.  My hand is on her back.  The grass and flowers were that high!  It was great.  A true spring Texas day.

 Saying cheese, but not looking at the camera!  So much personality!

 It was nice to have a Sunday afternoon the three of us before "Baby Sister" comes.  Although the drive didn't do anything for my already swollen ankles.

 He kept trying to wonder off by himself.  Which is okay, but we couldn't tell if there were any ant hills--and I really didn't want to have to use the epi-pen.  We go back to the allergist on Wednesday to run tests. I am hoping that we will get some answers.  Is he really allergic to ants or was it because he got SO many bites (20+) at once. 

bluebonnets?

On Saturday we went to see the bluebonnets. We drove up 290 towards Brenham and stopped at the same field that we went to last year. I was excited this year,because Ethan was going to be able to stand up and run through them. Last year he was so little we had to prop him up.

The bluebonnet selection was sad, I guess between the yucky winter we had and the lack of rain we have had the past couple months, there was no sea of blue flowers to be seen.

Ethan had a good time, still. He loves to be outside! Here are a few shots from our outing, plus some from last year. Look at how much my baby has grown.



These two were last April.
