I cannot imagine raising two children alone for a year while worrying and praying for my U.S. Army husband stationed overseas…Army Dad Travis was deployed to Baghdad only one week after his son, Thayden was born also leaving his gorgeous wife, Holly, and their 1 year old daughter, Lilly behind. What a homecoming it was this past Father’s Day when Travis came home on leave for a precious 2 weeks…then it’s right back to Baghdad for another 2-1/2 months. I’m grateful that despite their short time together this summer, they made the journey from Helena to Sky Ranch for their Operation Love ReUnited photo session…
This was my first OpLove photo session since signing on in January and I was both nervous and excited! The OpLove sessions are to incorporate a patriotic theme and Holly did an awesome job coordinating the family in red, white and blue and the outfits are just in time for the 4th of July as well! I just LOVED Thayden’s “Daddy’s My Hero” and Lilly’s “All-American Girl” t-shirts. I thought for sure Holly ordered them special online, but she boldly shared her secret shopping meccas…Walmart and Target!
I will soon be sending Travis a keepsake session album overseas while Holly & the kids will receive a designer DVD musical slideshow to hold them over until Daddy returns again…
Welcome Home, Travis!…and thank you for your service to our country!
