Outfit Friday {Suburban Strut}

It's Friday

Yeah I am looking forward to the weekend, but today I got a special treat of staying home with my baby.  We just got back from the doctor and he has pink eye

I hate it for him, but I have enjoyed the snuggles and one-on-one time.

It is Friday so today I am going to share with you most of my outfits from this week.

week 37 & 38 {frame a day}

Hi Friends

It always seems the moment I sit down to blog and share what is on my mind I get interrupted and mommy duties are calling me.

When moments are quiet or when I am up in the middle of the night with Crew nursing all these thoughts flood my mind that I want to pour out onto my blog, but than I am hit over the head with mommy duties and I am off running again.

Yes I am extremely behind on photo books and monthly updates for Crew, but I feel somewhat okay with it because I have it all noted on my iPhone when I am able to catch up. 

I do feel that the weekly frame a day recaps some what tell a story of what has been going on in the Stafford family.  

So here is

Week 37 and Week 38

Fall Pictures

Fall Pictures this past weekend were GREAT fun by ALL!

when I look at each picture that Katie captured for us I see certain stories within the image, here are just a few.

Crew's eyes always on his mommy, he is happiest in mommy's arms.  He is truly a mommy's boy!

Grayson just loves his daddy and is always on the go just like his daddy!

It was very relaxed and short and sweet just the way we like it, especially with two small children.

I wanted a session that was telling a story of our interaction with our boys and indeed this is what Katie captured for us.

Crew is so excited and determined to play with Grayson's toys

Grayson running to save mommy from daddy's kisses

Pictures to me are the GREATEST gift.  I want my boys to look back at all the photo books and get a real sense of their life when they were little.  I want to look back at the pictures and see what I or Chad looked like when are children were babies and a toddler.  This is the main reason I take pictures of our boys or have others take pictures of us as a family.

I love pictures that are candid and not sit her and smile at the camera pictures.  I think interacting and playing during the session allows for true smiles to come out. 

I look forward to doing this again soon with Katie and have a fun session with our boys when Crew is walking and they are interacting more.

the sweetest boy I know always loving and giving mommy kisses

his love for cars

Katie thank you from the BOTTOM of my heart you gave me a special gift that I have been wanting for some time.  I love all the relaxed moments with my family and they will be forever cherished in our home and hearts. 

If you are looking for a photographer in NWA contact Katie you will enjoy her kind and friendly heart.
