Today was a free day.
So Dalton and I ventured out to the mall, which turned out to be quite the adventure.
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.
For more favorites visit my friend Lisa’s blog, The Long Road to China and Back.

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??

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.
