We started first with Jacob's 13th birthday...*aack* I have a teenager now!
Kat was all ready to help.
She REALLY liked the wrapping paper.
Then Ben started packing up to go to Iraq.
She obviously doesn't know what all these bags mean.
Some quality time with Daddy yesterday morning.
At the airport yesterday. He should be almost to Germany right about now... We are sad, but one thing about living next door to the army...it makes us realize how lucky we are. He is only going for 120 days, not 12-18 months. Now, we just pray that the time goes quickly and that he stays safe.

Bless your heart honey...I'm sure you are a little sad and a LOT proud! Thank goodness it's for just a short time, although I'm sure it won't feel that way.
Your Bloggy Buddies are here for you when things get a little hairy~
Love Ya :)
I'm really not sure what to say, my heart is so full seeing these! The one of Ben and Kat is precious, as are all of them. We're praying for all of you.
Lots of hugs going your way, and Miss Kat is simply adorable in those pics. We are here for you.
Hang in there sis. We love you!
Hi-I'm doing Dianna's Deck of Me challenge.
I love your blog. I just wanted to let you know your family will be in my thoughts. 120 days is nothing compared to what some have to do over there but I'm sure it's still a lot longer than you'd like. I hope your hubby stays safe!
(your kids are adorable!)
Happy Birthday to your TEEN!!!!!!!! And prayers of safety sent out to your dh!
Happy birthday to your teen. I've been keeping up but I just didn't realize it was so soon, like now. Already gone. I'm sorry that I can't think of a thing to say that would make a difference. But if you need anything from Texas, let me know.
Lots of hugs to you and the kids. I hope the time goes by very fast and he is home really soon.
Happy Belated Birthday to Jacob.
Omg Kat has such pretty eyes.
Happy Birthday to Jacob. Goodness now a teenager!
What a great photo of Ben with Jacob and Kat.
120 days is sure better than 12-18 months. Time will fly and bring Ben home safely to you.

Hugs girl!! Let me know if you need anything. The photos are totally cute.
dear I do hope you have those photo's safely printed off and backed up, those are going to be priceless photos. And, no you cannot ask me if my photo's are back up either. LOL
I have been really thinking about you and your family this week, just know that I think you are a very strong woman, and I'm not sure how I would do with what you are about to go through. I just wish I was closer to you, I would pretend to sip coffee while you wait out this mission. But I can pray from here for his safe return, and you know you can email anytime, my email box is always open.
Love to you and your family Christi...let us know that he made it safe and you'll have to give us his address so we can all send him care packages!! Love those pictures..and Kat's little toes...Let me know if there's anything I do for you, really I mean it...
I will be praying that the time goes quickly and that Ben will be safe. I'm sure Jacob is a big help to you and I hope you all hang in there these next few months. Hugs to you hon!
Love the photos of Kat "helping" with the wrapping paper and the one of Ben with the kids -- it's so precious.
What precious family photos...praying these 120 days go quickly and for Ben's safe return.
(((hugs)))
