How nice is a cool breeze on a hot, humid July day here in Louisiana! It gives us a break from the hot reality that we face almost everyday. This day was a hot and very humid day, but a late afternoon thunderstorm threatened to rain down on us, and the breezy weather provided a small amount of relief when we got together with our family to take a couple updated pictures of their family.

The girls are getting so big, with Zoe just beginning to walk. As always, Leah is a helpful big sister:

Love this one of Zoe peeking around Leah.

We found this spot with the park bench, and surrounding flower garden at the end of our session.

So cute in the flowers!

This past weekend we were with our family to celebrate our niece Leah’s 3rd birthday. As usual, we took the opportunity to grab some pics of her. Can’t believe she’s three already! (Click below to see image bigger.)

For fun, here’s a little comparison of some pics from last year, her 2nd birthday, and this year’s photos:

Last year, we tried to entertain with bubbles, this year we had balloons!

Last year, a doll and stroller. This year, a raincoat and umbrella.

Gotta work the birthday outfit!

Same chair, different year.

Put your hands up for birthdays!

Lollipops are so last year.

Leah, Happy 3rd Birthday! Tío Iván y Tía Sarah te quieren mucho!!
