Now and Then

Last week we got to do a lot of things we have done in the past but this time with Bailey!

On Tuesday a friend and I went and took pictures of our babies in the Blue Bonnets.  

THEN: Every year at this time all of the wildflowers seem to be in full bloom and people always are out taking pictures.  These were taken last year by the Bush School.  We saw lots of people doing bridals and family shots here.

NOW: Bailey was more interested in the flowers than in smiling for mommy but I think a couple turned out cute anyways.

My friend's baby is much smaller than Bailey and so she brought a basket to take pictures in.  I thought I would try Bailey out in the basket.

She decided she did not like it!

We are both clearly done with pictures at this point!

Wednesday was the Japanese (Chinese) Tea Gardens.  Everyone refers to them as the Japanese Tea Gardens yet the huge entrance sign says Chinese Tea Gardens.

If you read the brown sign on the left you can see where they call them the Japanese Gardens but the bigger says Chinese...

THEN: Nate and I went there to take some maternity pictures here last October. 

 NOW: Bailey and I went back to explore with some friends.  They also had a pass to the Witte Museum-a museum with lots of Texas history- so we got to go there as well.  Bailey is a very cultured baby :)

These are my friend's twin girls.  The lady who took this picture kept complimenting me on all my cute girls :)



Thursday was the San Antonio Zoo.  Another friend has a pass and was nice enough to let me tag along.  

THEN: I've had many trips to the Houston Zoo with these boys:

 NOW: But this was Bailey's first trip:

I'm pretty sure she had no idea that we were even at the zoo but it was fun for me to get out!  And it was a surprisingly cold day for San Antonio.  We have been having a lot of those recently.  It's nice especially knowing what the summer will be like.

Saturday we got to return to College Station to visit some friends.

THEN: This was our last get together with the Twitchells and other College Station friends before we moved to San Antonio

NOW:

The camera was set on a timer so obviously not the most flattering picture

They were singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Bailey. 

These are Aisling's boys.  The baby (West) is only two weeks old! Aisling and I grew up together.

I wanted to get a picture of Bailey with the ring but we forgot :(

We will have to get one next time!

Bailey also got to try her first swing at the park this week!  She's still a little too wobbly on her own but she'll get there.
