The Japanese Gardens: Then and Now

The Japanese Gardens: Then and Now

Two years ago when our baby girl was nearly one, we took a trip to a beautiful park in downtown Houston with our photographer.  She captured some great shots of our little family in a picturesque, almost zen like park in the middle of the city of Houston.

The park is called the Japanese Gardens and is tucked away in the middle of Herman Park.  Well, with our baby boy on the verge of one, and Jordan working a half day due to MLK, we decided it was time to take a trip back, of course with camera in tow.

I mean I always knew they looked alike, but looking at these pictures side by side amazes me... (above Holden on the left and Isla on the right)
