What now?

Another picture from last week with the girls. This morning all of the girls are still sleeping due to waking up in the wee hours of the morning to tell their Daddy good bye. We all helped him get his stuff out to his truck and then lots of kisses and huge hugs were given. Steph here is so much her Mom that sometimes it is scary for me. She helped me get her sisters back in the house and get them calmed down and back off to sleep, and then I heard her crying in her room. Ah, so much like her Mommy wait till no one else is around to cry a few tears over missing someone. Good news is it isn't that long of time that he is going to be gone, and not going to a war zone. It is going to be our first longer time TDY in a few years though. We have been really pretty lucky over the years of not having them be that long.

Today we will worry about him being safe driving the 10 hours to where he is heading. I'm sure in the coming days as he get going with his job we will be missing some nightly phone calls, but in time I'm sure things will get into a normal routine both here and there.

Anyway, I hope everyone had a good weekend, and that this week gets off to a good start.
