Spring is here...

There is certainly something in the air...ummm...that would be pollen. Our allergies have nearly gotten the best of us. Lauren doesn't seem to mind too much yet. Work has been really crazy the last few weeks and photography has been picking up speed as we head into the wedding season.

Lauren is really beginning to pull up on things and is pretty coordinated. She can actually throw a ball to me if I ask her to. The downside of her learning to throw a ball is that she can also toss a sweet potato clear across the room at dinner time. She also knows that I am "dada." As I was looking at her tonight the realization of how much my parents love me moved me nearly to the point of misting up...I wish all kids could get as much love as Lauren does.

I tried to take a few bluebonnet photos today. They're really good this year but I just can't seem to find the time to get out and take some proper photos--with the tripod, shutter release, no wind, and a nice overcast day. Today was decent, but it was a little windy and there's not much of a backdrop out where I work.

Beth's allergies have been pretty bad the last few days so her mom came in today to help with Lauren. Thanks, Mary! I'm sorry you had to miss work...you probably weren't really "missing" it though, were you?

Lauren's first cousin (first cousin, once removed to be exact), Rylee Grace, was born at 9:46 this morning. She weighed in at 6lb 2oz and was 20in long. I'm glad that Lauren will have someone near her age in the family. All of this family stuff is going to have to happen on Beth's side because my side seems to be slow reproducers :)

On a sadder note, my Piggies can't seem to buy a basketball coach. I'm seriously concerned about what's going on at my alma mater. I guess that's all for tonight.
