Texas in the Spring

Every parent I know in Texas has done this... Pull over by the roadside (ideally somewhere near your house), plop the kid/s in a clump of bluebonnets and start shooting.  I was mystified by all the people crouching in the fields when I first moved here.  Then I started looking forward to having my own little bluebonnet to plop down in the weeds.

Sam and I enjoyed a quick 15 minute photo shoot about 1/4 mile from our house today.  The weather was gorgeous and we had a great time.  Sam is still a real ham.  She wasn't really excited about sitting in a field, but when she realized we were taking pictures, she cheered right up.  After a few shots, she said "Ah... ah...  ah... choo!"  just like Misty Green, our photographer extraordinaire, always does to get Sam's attention.  I'm not quite sure who has trained whom.

The look of the day

I have no idea why, but Samantha has been making this face all day today and saying "teeth".  She seems pretty pleased with herself.  Maybe there's a new one back in there somewhere and she's showing off.  She's so toothy it's been dangerous to put a finger in and check for quite some time.
