How Could I Choose Just One?

The almond blossoms seem to have come quickly this year, and with lots of rainy weather. (Not good news for the bees or almond farmers.) I realized on Thursday that it might be our last day of decent weather and almond blossoms at the same time. And we were getting ready to leave for the weekend, when some of the trees might finish blooming. And, of course, I realized this as the kids were laying down for naps, and we had a commitment right after naptime.

So, after our late afternoon commitment, we sprinted to the orchard to use what daylight was left to take a few pictures. The kids weren't wearing perfectly coordinated outfits or anything, but I think we still got some fun pictures. Now we're back from our weekend away (more about that later) and some of the orchards may still have enough blossoms for pictures. We'll see whether I tackle another photo shoot with the kiddos.

For now, here are my little sweeties, and they were both acting sweet at the same time. Jonathan kept rocking Grace from side to side to make her smile. And to keep her from wiggling away. Last year at this time, I was feeling very large and uncomfortable and praying for a safe delivery for our baby boy or girl. We are so thankful to have her here this year!
