How long is a deployment in the eyes of a child??? FOREVER!!!!

As a military wife, I understood what I got myself into when I married my husband when it came to deployments, moving all around the world, and just being military minded. If I didn't know exactly what I got myself into, then I learned through normal everyday life here in the military. However my children didn't know what they signed up for, in fact they were just born into this, so Brody on a daily basis tells me how much he misses his dad. Aidan on the other hand is being a little more stoic and tells me which holidays are going to pass before his dad gets home, but it is hard as a mother to see the heartache these kiddos go through!

Brody took a picture of Joe talking to us via Skype- (Joe is wearing sunglasses because he is outside!)-- and Brody taking a picture of us talking to him! :) Gotta love the conveniences of the internet!
