Dreaming of Pancakes

Playing catch up again on my photos. Things are gearing up around here for tulips, spring, Easter and deployment. The cycle of life that keeps things from feeling overly ordinary. So for the next couple of weeks and months we'll take any sunshine we can get, and steal away all of the family moments possible. Those little Saturday morning pancake breakfasts, games of Sorry! and the like. The little magic moments that make life beautiful.
