Getting ready for Philip's departure.

[navygreen]

We'll miss you, Daddy!

It's really real now. We're down to the less-than-48-hours mark. I had a mini-conference with A.J.'s teacher today to let her know that Philip was leaving (Jack's teachers already know). Our living room is a wreck with gear all over the place. There are important papers strewn all over my desk.

It's coming.



Philip packs some of his gear.


The rest of his gear, strewn out all over the living room.


Philip tests out his new sleeping bag.


His 'Security Forces' armband.


Jack wears Daddy's blouse.


Bloused Boys.


Jack adds Daddy's hat to his attire.


A.J. wears Daddy's cap.

We are really HOPING for maybe 15-20 minutes every week or so... but we don't know just yet. This is a pretty remote camp, I believe.

This is so scary. I hope that things turn out all right.

Be strong.

Big, big hugs...for all of you.

You're in my prayers, always. (((hugs)))

I know I don't know you well, but something that's plain to see from all of your entries and the pictures you post is that you and Philip and the boys make up one heck of a strong family. I have faith that you'll all pull through this and be okay. A year will go by in a flash.
I know others have asked this, so add my name to the list-- if you get an address of where to send any items they might need, let me know!

I went back and read some of your entries to find out what's going on. Nicole, your whole family is in my prayers. I have so much admiration for your husband serving our country. I pray he stays safe and comes home to you as soon as he can. Please, if you need to talk, call me, anytime. I'm here for you.
