Birmingham in March

I can’t seem to find any pictures of my Lady Banks in bloom, so how about this sensational yellow cascade at the Birmingham Botanical Garden! The kids and I visited my folks for a few days over spring break and enjoyed a chilly tour of the Garden.

One of the most interesting features there is the black bamboo forest (at least that’s what I call it). Someone with real photographic skills could get some great shots here. At least I have cute models.

I took each child out in turn for some one-on-one Mommy time: ice cream and sliding at McD’s for Caleb.

Hi Amy! It has been fun for me to look at your family...I was interested to see your Seattle posts, as that is where we are living now. I'm sorry it was so cold and rainy while you were here! You will have to try and get back in the summer :) Blessings to you friend!
