The time is drawing near

We are about to enter into our 2nd deployment, this time should be easier right? One can hope but we both know this one is going to be a lot harder then the first. Last deployment we only had an hour difference between us, drew was in a safe zone, he had Internet in his room and had a government issued cell so he could call me and I could call him. I was spoiled! This time phone and Internet are not going to be as readily available as last time. Not to mention life at home without him is going to be VERY different. Kenzie was a baby last time and didn't understand, this time she is older and knows that something is happening and daddy is leaving for a while but he is coming home. But I know she doesn't grasp how long it will really be. She is a huge Daddy's girl so it should be an adjustment to say the least. Kylie is still young and wont understand. I will be raising our girls by myself for the next 12-15 months and am ready for the task we knew this would happen although we were hoping not so soon. To add to mix we are expecting baby #3 in Jan.-Feb. So things just keep getting more interesting...lol We are a strong family and will make it through this. Oceans my separate us but we will always be together. We went one day to build a bear and had bears made for the girls and drew did a voice one so they can still hear daddy. Kenzie loves it and knows that when she hugs her bear (well cat) that she is sending daddy a hug and receiving one from him. Kylie loves her bear and is always hugging and kissing it...too cute. Today after drew gets off we are going to have a dog tag necklace made for kenzie with drews picture on it and saying my daddy my hero, we may have 1 made for kylie but she is still to young to wear it. Well that's it for know kylies fussing.
