Round and round we go...

So here we are, again. Back where we were 2 years ago, staring a deployment right in the face. New year, new place, same shit going down. Only this time both little ones older. Big girl understands more than we give her credit for. Before we explained about daddy leaving we allowed her to watch former Pres. Bush's interview about 9/11. She understands why daddy has to go. She knows daddy keeps us safe. Little man will just know daddy isn't coming home for a while. At least it won't be for as long as the first time, thank goodness. We are closer to our parents so I can hopefully take weekend trips if I need to. I don't want him to go, but I want to get this over with. At least technology has improved since then. I just hope they have wifi overseas.
