I have a little confession to make. Texas is kinda growing on me. Although the beauty that I see here in Texas is nothing compared to the beautiful, majestic, mountains of Alaska (where I moved from), there is a unique undeniable beauty here. One thing I have really fallen in love with is a warm southern evening, with a slight breeze… perfect.
Some dears friends of ours are mostly responsible for this new found appreciate of Texas. They have a nice little piece of land that they thoroughly enjoy and have invited us over on a weekly basis for the past year. Swimming, playing, sitting by the fire, riding 4 wheelers, gardening… all of this has made Texas a happy little place in my heart.
When we first met the Raders, Amy had only just found out she was pregnant with Charis. Now Charis is a big girl walking all over the place. It was so fun to take these pictures for her first birthday. She loved the cake so much she didn’t even care that she was eating grass, sticks, and dirt too. Happy 1st Birthday Charisy girl, we love you.
