I was trying to practice on Lucy, but she was having none of it. She's been a real stinker lately, so I took some shots of my cute niece instead.
Spring
Here is my sister, she is a fabulous mama to four girls and a constant inspiration to me.
Motherhood
We all went for a hike up the hill.
At the top there was a quaint little chapel built in honor of the Blessed Mother, very small but beautiful.
Some flower shots that I've been waiting forever to take. I know the daffodils are overexposed, but I kinda like it that way!
And finally, my Mother's Day present. I told the hubs that all I wanted was a family picture of the three of us. My brother took the shot, but I picked the spot, made sure the sun was behind us, and adjusted the settings for him, so I sort of feel like I took the photo too. All in all, a great day.
Nice pics. What a cute family you have!
