Happy Birthday, Lori!

Today is Lori Hernandez' one year birthday. Wow! Time has really flown, and Lori has really grown. She's 17 pounds... still pretty tiny by one-year-old standards. But it's a spunky 17 pounds. And she's walking, saying a few words, blowing kisses, waving hello and good-bye... all those endearing things that grandparents love.

This photo was taken recently in a field of blue bonnets, the state flower of Texas. What you can't see in this photo is the many families taking photos of themselves among the blue bonnets. It's a seasonal tradition!

And here's the Hernadez family. Jorge and Dana have really made Houston their home, have a growing circle of awesome friends, and they're doing great as parents, too. That's really a blessing to see.

What I don't have yet is a photo of Lori eating her first birthday cake. What a hoot! I'll upload those as soon as I get them.
