Tallula: day 5

Today was a free day.



So Dalton and I ventured out to the mall, which turned out to be quite the adventure.



But that’s not the best part.

And for today, I’d rather just skip to the best part.



The best part was later in the day, after we’d returned to the island.



The afternoon rain shower had passed through and we had some time to venture out on foot…

stretch our legs and enjoy the gorgeous scenery.



Wanted to join in on Favorite Photo Friday with these, my most favorite photos.

For today.

    She is so stinking sweet!!!

    I love all the hair pretties (bows, flowers, clips, etc) your girls (including sunshiny Tallula) wear. Do you have a favorite place to buy hair accessories for your girls??

    Blessings 🙂

    She is truly a little ray of sunshine. I love to see how comfortable she is with Dalton too–what a wonderful experience for him. Continue having a great time. I am truly enjoying following along and watching this little beauty continue to blossom!

    Gorgeous pictures! If I didn’t know better you would think Tallula had been in the family forever instead of just 5 days. I can’t wait to hear and see pictures of her with all her other siblings!

    I didn’t think it was possible, but Tallula truly gets more beautiful every single day!! And what a handsome son….I wish my hubby would go back again!! I’ve been praying and there are so many children, but not sure it is ever gonna happen. I’m envious.

    Those first two photos are stunning (after I noticed the beautiful subjects, I noticed your composition and leading lines my friend!)!!!

    That Tallula is something else. She just seems like she is SO MUCH FUN! And Dalton does seem to be a big help. You all amaze me Stef. Really, I am in awe.

    We have loved seeing Talulla’s sweet expressions! What a JOY! My oldest, Katie Lyn, said “Mrs. Stefanie just goes to China, finds a great spot,and takes pictures like it’s no big deal!” 🙂 It made me giggle….

    She is just adorable. I am amazed at how happy she is. What an incredible blessing that must be for you!! That smile is so so cute. The third photo in this post where she is looking out at the river is priceless.
