Sixteen months

One of my proudest moments as a father ...

... happened today.  The dogs finally caught and killed their first squirrel.

While Emilia and Gigi were quite distressed, I was beaming.  The dogs' wildest dreams had come true. 

Since this is a family blog and all, I do want to share what was a momentous time for some of our family (dogs).  But since this is a family blog and all, I figured pictures of dead squirrels on the front page wasn't the best idea.  So if you want to see the proud dogs, just click here.

Flashback Friday

In honor of all of the bluebonnets that are popping up around town, here's my favorite shot of the world's cutest baby in the wildflowers.

We have plans to take some shots this week of the world's cutest toddler in the bluebonnets, so stay tuned.

Pigtails and Peacocks

We met up with some friends at Mayfield Park yesterday morning for a picnic lunch. The weather was gorgeous and the kids had a great time exploring the grounds. I brought David's new camera and tried shooting in a manual setting. I'm getting better but still have so much to learn.

One of the dozens of peacocks that roam the grounds.

Desmond got a little wet and spent the second half of our playdate without his pants. Clearly he didn't let it damper his spirits.

I put pigtails in Ruby's wet hair that morning. When she pulled out the rubberbands, we were left with this.

T-Dawg, chillin' as usual.

(Jack was there too, but he runs real fast. I couldn't snap a picture quickly enough.)

SXSW

We took full advantage of the beautiful weather and free music last week, meeting up with Tio and Aunt Megs at the French Legation. Some pictures from our day:

My girls

More pictures from the past week or so will come later, but I had to share this one before heading to bed tonight.  My girls on Thursday evening:
