Birthday Beach Pictures

In September we were all able to go back to my hometown in Florida.  It is rare, but Andrew was actually TDY there so we just came along with him at stayed at my Mother's house.  It is really the perfect time of year there.  Still hot but not as bad as summertime and the crowds of tourists are gone.  We didn't get to see Daddy much, he was really working...go figure!  But we were able to catch up with friends and spend some time at the beach.  Since M&M's birthday was the end of September we thought we'd take the opportunity to do beach portraits (photographs by us!) to commemorate.  They really turned out great but it is always an ordeal.  It took us two nights to time the sunset right and for each good picture there were at least 10 that were NOT.  But as you can see, it was worth the effort...
