Departure










Chris made it out of Connecticut just fine and as you read in his post, had a layover in Baltimore that lasted well beyond 24-hours. The kids and I were able to hurry down the coast from Connecticut before he left last night. We got 5 hours more together, but saying goodbye the second time was even harder than the first.

I took some photos of him getting ready to leave from Connecticut. No words can be placed with the feeling of seeing him in uniform, walking away in the airport.

I think Taylor put it best when she came into our bedroom around 9pm last night holding her hands up and looking around. I asked her what was wrong and she just said, "There's someone missing mommy. Someone is missing... Something is missing." Hopefully these first few days are the toughest... for us all.

Here are a few images from his first farewell. Will have some more soon from our Day 1 without Chris at home.
