tulips (and the big bow)

Today dawned bright and beautiful. I spent the morning at the Dallas Arboretum with my good friend Erin, and her son Hudson (who is 2 weeks older than M). The tulips are in full bloom and are absolutely breath-taking. I snapped some new shots of Mags; she was gleefully saying, "OH" over and over again and pointing at every flower in sight. If the weather is good on Sunday, I plan to do a brunch for our family there, picnic-style, before church. Since we are orphans, we will just celebrate Easter as a family and then head to church. I'm actually really looking forward to it (if the predicted rain stays away).

What do you think of Mags' new bow? Kathryn, I think you'd be proud. It's Maggie's largest yet and I think it was time to upgrade. Kathryn, my good, good friend from Chicago, is my bow expert and tells me that a bow should be in proportion to how much hair a child has and I do have to agree with her. If you don't, that's fine, but for me, this has worked out the best for Maggie. Anyway, I'm LOVING this new bow and it stays perfectly in her hair.
