blessed and the beach

I was busy shooting the boys on the beach Monday when a storm rolled in. It created some pretty cool pictures and there are A LOT. But as I edited them, every one seemed to become a new favorite. I think it’s because Caleb is in so many of them, and I miss having pictures of him.

I feel so blessed to have an adoring husband who loves his children, his wife, and his country.. enough to defend it willingly on foreign soil. Sometimes I lose sight of the big picture and I forget that this is something to be proud of, not just something to survive. I found the beach to be a great place to count blessings.
