A day in the life of Traci + Stephen

On a quaint street in a historic neighborhood where the sidewalks are coved by beautiful old trees, a 1924 house stands that Traci, Stephen and pup Naledi call home. On a Sunday afternoon, you may find these two at a coffee shop with an entertaining barista, on a long walk with Naledi, or relaxing in the warm Tampa air with a bottle of wine.

Our weekend together was filled with continuous jokes, non stop laughter, good food, and great weather.  As we walked the streets of their fabulous neighborhood, they pointed out great old homes for sale. They often send photos to family and friends of the latest and greatest to go on the market…hoping to convince someone to join them. As much fun as these two are, it wouldn’t take too much convincing.

Thank you to you both for being such great hosts and showing me a fabulous time. Big thanks and special props to Stephen for thinking of something unique to do for his wife. You get extra credit points in my books!

Meet Naledi:)
With a extremely long winter this year in Minnesota, it was fun to have to have some color on the trees. An added bonus with the spanish moss.
Love. 
After a long day, nothing beats a beach all to ourselves. 
Traci, you are BEAUTIFUL. 
Love it. 
A great end to the perfect Sunday Funday:)

Mr. Clay Orvold

He is one of the happiest and most expressive little guys I have ever seen on Facebook. With his captivating blue eyes, and his big open smile… he charms us all. Finding his reserved side when we met, he made me want to snuggle him up as he sucked his thumb. He has his own special technique to soothe himself… thumb in the mouth and the other hand connecting to his little fingers… often times covering his face. Mom said that many of his ultra sound photos had his hands up by his face. Doesn’t he just draw you in in this first image? 

At four months old, I think that Mr. Clay Orvold is progressing ahead of his time. Grabbing for his toes and holding on is usually seen closer to six months. Go Clay!
His adorable look of concern. 
Baby talk with mama. 

Kail: Six Months

The eyes. The pudgy baby rolls. The expressive faces. I just love it all. Kail seems to be a little lady charmer. Any time you say sweet things to him, his little face lights up.. and your heart instantly melts.  :)

One of my favorite photos with a pup pup I’ve ever captured. This is why dogs are such a great addition to a family. Don’t they look like best friends?!
