Say hello to Annie and Niel, the proud parents of the handsome and adorable Raymond! We took these pictures in their former neighborhood of Ravenswood, Chicago, on a beautiful Midwest day.<\/p>\n
It’s always a pleasure spending time with Niel and Annie as the conversation so often takes unexpected and interesting turns. One night, we sat around for hours talking about all the nostalgic things we enjoyed as children. \u00a0It’s in those moments that I truly appreciate how grounded \u00a0they are as couple. \u00a0They have such a strong sense of the direction they want their life together to take.<\/p>\n
We were introduced to each other a few months ago, and since then, have done everything from BBQ\u2019s on the beach to playing intense Scrabble games at the Iguana Caf\u00e9. \u00a0I\u2019m sad they\u2019re moving away from Chicago, but they\u2019re following their hearts, heading back to rolling hills and simple life of the Midwest they love so dearly.<\/p>\n
The simplicity of living, which they mindfully and actively work to maintain, is inspirational. \u00a0These are two mature and responsible parents whose parenting exemplifies<\/em> heart and soul. \u00a0How lucky little Raymond is to be surrounded by such solid values emphasizing quality over quantity. \u00a0These are values which will serve him throughout his life.<\/p>\n As a family, they are this wonderful blend of humility, sincerity, and generosity sprinkled with the most delicious dose of humor. \u00a0So congratulations to the budding young family!\u00a0 Here\u2019s to the start of a beautiful future!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
