Will you consider it overindulging if I share a couple of quick pics (or more) of Leo, our precious grandson? I hope not, because we are in absolute love with this little guy! Here are three pics from a recent photo shoot but let's count them as one since they're small and "tiled." : ) [Photo credit: Snaps by Sally] I just love Leo in this little burnt orange onesie (below)—and might … [Read more...]
