Goodbye Daddy

Just two days after getting home from the hospital, Scott had to leave for his deployment.  It came so fast!  It was a hectic morning.  Here we are before leaving for the airport.  John is lounging in his chair.  I know I look very harried and tired...'cause I was.  I'm going to play the "I just had a baby four days ago" card here.

We went to the airport so see Scott off.  Because he was deploying the airline gave us passes to go with him to his gate which was nice.  John got to go through security for the first time.  He didn't like it.

 At the gate the bigger kids check out the planes...or lack thereof.

Scott with Grant.  They have a special bond.  I think Grant is going to be disappointed when he realizes I will be putting him to bed for the next six months.  He likes it better when Daddy does it.

One last goodbye before Scott boarded.  John took it well.  He just slept, but the rest of us were pretty sad.  Last time Scott deployed Anna was six months old and Matthew was 2, so they probably don't even remember.  Hopefully this time will go by fast and we'll all be back together before we know it.  :)  And in the meantime we can be thankful for skype!
