Our family is blessed to live near the perfect location for picnics and pictures ... the Antique Rose Emporium in Independence, Texas. Robert and I started there with our engagement pictures and we have watched our children grow through the pictures our family has taken there.
We headed out there this last Friday since Robert and the children didn't have school (Maifest parade and holiday). It was a beautiful day and we had a wonderful time as a family.
All Together
I am truly grateful to have three teenagers that humored their mom. They gave up their school holiday to picnic with their parents. They wore t-shirts to match their little brother's outfit. They scouted out their personal locations to have a picture with their little brother. They stayed cheerful through their mother's camera clicking for over an hour in the heat. They also enjoyed a picnic of junk foods mom doesn't normally provide!!!TD and Cullen

Cullen on his "Nana" Blanket
Cullen enjoyed resting during the picnic on his "Nana" blanket. Each of Mom's grandchildren have a special blanket crocheted just for them. It is a source of love and comfort for each of them. Thanks Nana!Cullen's Last Pose
Cullen was exhausted by the time we got to this shot. He posed for a couple more and then we hurried off to the suburban. He needed air conditioning (amen!), his pacifier and car seat. He was asleep before we got the suburban loaded.
