He's on his way

So I try not to post about non-store stuff very often, but this morning I'm sitting at the computer much earlier than usual (6:15 a.m. is not usually human for me), because my husband is taking our oldest son to the airport. He's heading back to Ft Bragg, preparing for deployment to Afghanistan in a few days.

I'm much calmer than I thought I would be. I'm not panicked about the Army or about Afghanistan, he's got a lot of people praying for him, and a lot of angels watching over him. I'm just melancholy that it will be such a long time before we see him again! His baby sister will change so drastically in a year or more. And is Blake old enough now (almost 3) to hold on to the special relationship he has with his big brother without seeing him for a long time? I'm sure we will keep it alive by looking at pictures and talking about Kyle (or "Ty" as Blake has dubbed him).

If you want to follow his adventures, you can bookmark his blog.

Thanks for listening!
