Photos for my Sailor

Technology fails us at times. And for Navy spouses, that can mean our only lifeline to our husbands. But! If you learn to run with it, you can learn greater patience. And actually get to talk to them when you have more time under your belt and a shorter countdown until you get to see them again. Celebration, woo!

My husband will be a stern father. But for now, our 3-month-old son is far too cute (and young) for discipline. Whenever he deploys, it's now even more challenging for us. Yes, I can manage the house by myself for a while. I can make life work. But what's harder is the plain old separation. It's apparent that we miss each other more and he misses his son immensely. This is where daily photos come in. My husband loves them and turns into the most proud and irritating father on his ship. He tells me how he saves the string of photos of our son I send him, and shows it to everyone he runs into. I can imagine. 

Well, Curt can't view any of my photos I've been sending him. So lucky for him (and unlucky for the people around him), he's going to get his string of photos right here all at once. Enjoy, babe.
