Rosemary's Garden Photoshoot

It's taken me awhile to post these but here they are, a few shots from the photoshoot done by the lovely and oh so patient Casey Keeton. We had them done at the San Antonio botanical gardens (it's become one of my favorite places in the city and I think I definitely need to get an annual pass.) 

We found a little painted butterfly and decided to put it in the basket with her. It almost looks real! This is probably one of my favorite pictures because she looks so at home in the bed of marigolds, like a sweet fairy baby just taking a nap after dancing in the flowers. <3

For the first thirty minutes Rose was sharing her, ahem, lovely temper with us. Eventually the cranky pumpkin fell asleep and rather than wake her up we just carried her around in the basket from place to place. Hey it got the job done!

The only smile she was willing to grace us with that afternoon but oh is it precious!

Playing in the Garden

Mosquitos and muggy weather, it can only mean one thing. Spring is upon us down here in the Alamo city. We've been hit by a few storms over last few weeks, getting some much needed rain. I can already tell this summer is going to be different from previous years, hopefully cooler than the beastly 100's we normally have to look forward to during the May through September months.

To celebrate the wonderful weather we had yesterday, the family took a trip to the botanical gardens here in San Antonio for an afternoon among the flowers.It was absolutely amazing! I loved that there was lots of shade (perfect for both baby mermaids and their super pale mama mermaids).

My favorite part would have to be the indoor garden, full of orchids and bunches of tropical flowers the scent in . It really looked liked something out of Jurassic Park.

Rose slept pretty much the entire time and only got a little fussy when we were leaving---such an angel!

Nothing but love xoxo

Spencer, Rose's big cousin, giving me one of his "serious looks".

Until next time, Rose & I are out!
