Our Good-Bye's to Daddy!

One last kiss before daddy takes off! ;(


Chris with the kids.
Our family!
Me and my handsome Marine!
Good-bye's with Allie.

Sorry Erin, I stole your idea! :)
"Don't leave, daddy!"
"I love you, daddy!"

Kisses for Allie.
Chris left with the advance party - only around 100 Marines. The rest of the Battalion will follow in a week or so.

One last hug good-bye....
See you in 7 months!
Allie was so cute/sad yesterday when the buses left. She was waving and yelling "good-bye, daddy" until we couldn't see the bus any longer. :( I know she really doesn't understand time and that daddy won't be coming home at night, but she was a good sport and seems okay with daddy being gone. For now! :)
Chris, we love and miss you. Hope to hear from you soon!
Chelly, Allie and Adam

Looking at your pictures is so hard. We're praying for all of you. Our sad day is approaching too quickly as well. Have a safe trip home!

Nice job honey, I love you guys and miss everyone already. This blog is going to be really nice for me to keep up. You can always count on Joe for that pick-me-up when you need it. Nice one :)

Gotta hate terrorism and the reason behind those good-byes. You sure captured the emotion in those pictures-makes you cry-mostly for Chris in that foreign place away from his family-heartbreaking.
