Op-Love Reunited

Operation Love Reunited is an organization that provides military families the opportunity for pre-deployment and homecoming photos for free. The location is up to you , the only two stipulations are that the service member has to be in uniform for some of the pictures, and they need to be deploying within a few months. We chose to have our pictures done at The Hotel del Coronado,and on the beach. The location was beautiful, and the weather was good...except for the wind!!! Hubby was OK because he has such short hair (not nearly as short as he used to wear it though), but Jonathan and I were a different story...the wind did bad things to our hair. I promise we both had tamed hair upon arrival for the shoot. We were also able to combine the session and get some great shots of the baby for his six month photos. He was full of smiles, and his eyes are just amazing in every picture. They are still super blue...I'm pretty confident they will stay blue. Overall, wind and all, we are very happy with our pictures...hope you enjoy them.

The Gardens A Growin'

On April 27th I turned my "black thumb" to a green one and planted my first garden. I decided to plant what I consider the basics...I planted tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, and basil. Those were all plants and are growing beautifully, however I also planted some broccoli seeds, but had no luck with them. Jonathan and I water our garden everyday. I think he really enjoys it...and so do I. Today I picked my first zucchini, and can't wait to cook it.
