HOW DO I SAY GOOD-BYE?

I've talked to them and hopefully prepared them for our absence...but how do you really say good-bye for 15 days? This is so hard and almost heartbreaking when I think of how much I'll truly miss my boys...I've NEVER been away from them this long and missing their first days of school is just the mud on the cake!

I have some gifts wrapped for them and we made a chain out of construction paper. They will take a ring off each day and countdown to our homecoming ~ just typing "homecoming" makes me smile :)


"A" and "E" I love you more than words can say; and I honestly cannot wait until we drive up the driveway, open the door and feel you guys jump in our arms!!!!


You are the BEST boys ever!!
