Over the last nine months Aaron has been deployed over seas in Europe. It was one of those things that we knew was going to happen eventually in his Army career, but when the time final came we weren't ready for it. Now that it's behind us, I can finally say that it went by much faster
than I ever thought it could. The main reason for that is that we had
family nearby and I kept busy by making lots of trips to visit them.
Since we had kids, Aaron had never been away for more than a month. We knew it was going to be hardest on Connor, and we were right. Most nights he would whine, and cry occasionally, because he missed him. It was really sad to see and I am so happy he's home now because I don't know how much longer he could have gone without his daddy being home. Here's a little overview of the last 9 months...

Connor went into Aaron's cabinet and got into his face paint and surprised me outside and said "army guy war paint." He wants to be just like daddy!

We were keeping it a surprise from Connor, so only Olivia got to take a picture with the sign...
I stopped changing it on day 9 so he would get confused as to when daddy was coming home.
