Deployment has started!!!!
For 2 months, the Major worked 3.5 hours away doing pre-deployment work and all of that time didn't count towards his deployment time.
But now, the clock OFFICIALLY started ticking!!! Woot! Woot!
I can do it....

I hope...
I pray...

They even gave the kids these soldier dolls that you can put a picture inside the face part....We call them our "Daddy Dolls", and the girls have since put a photo of their daddy in it....
...and slept with the doll every night since they got it...
Here is Brooke with her doll....She loves it!
Here are both of our girls with their dolls....

She's only 3, but we've told her Daddy is going on a long trip....and she's not happy about it...
Our family...

Taking a deep breath over here....
Hoping time passes quickly!
I think I can! I think I can!
