New Family Pictures

Posted in Family, and Photography

I’m rather funny about getting new family pictures before any major event such as a deployment or surgery.  It’s just how I am, and thankfully, my family doesn’t mind.  lol!  Daddy always enjoys having new pictures of his girls.  **grin** Since D’s surgery is Monday afternoon, we decided that today would be a good day to head out to a local hiking area not too far from here to take pictures.  Because D has been in so much pain, we needed a spot where we could drive right up to it, and he wouldn’t have to walk/hike very far.  We…
