Springtime in Texas

It is tradition for many families in Texas to take pictures in the bluebonnets when the flowers bloom in the spring. We do it every couple of years, but this year was extra special because of the new additions to our family. As we sat Elisa, Nessie and Eli in the sea of blue flowers, I couldn't help but think back to the 30+ inches of snow we left back in the Ukraine. They were always wearing at least 3 layers of clothes and here we are, a few months later, sitting in a field of flowers at sunset.

A good friend of ours who is a professional photographer offered to take the pictures as a gift to us. What a wonderful gift that we can now share with all of you. If anyone needs a great photographer, let us know and we'll get you in contact with Ray from Life is Beautiful Photography here in San Antonio. He is amazing...... Thanks Ray!
