{Embrace the Camera: July 7th}

I can’t start this week’s {embrace} session without sending a huge THANK YOU to all of you who kept your fingers, arms, legs, toes, and anything else you might have crossed for our family this past week.



 

You ALL totally rock because today our guy will finally be home!!!
(You can read all about how I kicked deployment to the curb here) 

Now, I know that you won’t be able to see his handsome face today but I promise it will be well worth the wait...

Why???

Because after 6 l**o**n**g months we will finally be able to {embrace} the camera as a family of 5 and I can't forget to add that our guy also happens to be pretty handsome!!!

 As for today, what better way to kick off July than with a little firework celebration in honor of our beautiful country and more importantly in honor of our courageous troops...

We almost missed out on the firework spectacular over the Red River. Luckily, Mother Nature decided to let her storm pass us by and after only an hour delay the show was back on.

However...

What exactly do you do to keep 3 very anxious children busy while sitting in a fancy hotel room waiting for the show to begin?

You take the time to {embrace} the camera (of course)!!!
