The Countdown Has Begun

First of all, I find myself continuously deleting and retyping this thing! Why?

Ok... Hayden and I said goodbye to my beloved Husband and his loving father on Friday night. We will not see him again for at least a year. I am hoping and praying that he will be home before next Christmas - which is the countdown I have already started using in my head. That's right - I'm already stuck on next Christmas - one year ahead of the rest of you.

Here are a couple of photos...

This first photo was taken after my "photographer" asked Mike why he isn't smiling? So, he gave us a cheesy grin!


If I had known that I looked so chubby, I would have asked my friend to take a few more pictures and remind myself to look up, not down. Oh well.
I don't know what else to say other than... I really, really miss him already - something awful.

I like the new haircut.

I don't really know what to say, we miss you guys, and we're here if you need us... even if we are on the other side of the country.

I'm sorry Bethany. That post made me cry. I feel so much for you and your little, new baby. Next year seems a very long time away. There must be some great blessings in store for you!!! Just hang in there.

When I got my picture taken after Teo was born I thought the same thing, "why do I look so fat!" Don't worry, that goes away too.

I love you and think of you often!

Thank you Candice! Thank you Hope! We love you both too.

We are always mindful of the sacrafices that our military make to defend freedom, but I think the families sacrifice just as much.. maybe more.
Thank you all

Oh, Beth,
How completely I understand. There are no words...I am sending you the biggest e-hug possible. How often can you communicate?
Love, Tatia
