We are finally to the paper chain stage!!!

Well it is that time again. James is coming home in less than two months! When we get down to two months we make a paper chain to count down the days. The boys helped me make this beautiful chain. We put it up on the ceiling fan (that is never turned on!) because my boys can't reach it on their own to ruin it. My boys are careful with things, but we have had them tear off links in the past early to try to get Dad home sooner. This way, hopefully that won't happen. Alex is really good at counting now so this has been especially helpful for him so he can visualize how long until his dad comes home. It won't be long now!

You are so amazing. I don't know how you do it!! Zach is at SOS and I am about done already. You really need to write a book about how to be a GREAT Air Force wife, and mother because you truly are. I miss you so much. You really are great!!

When are you coming back? I keep hearing rumors we need you here. Please come to the ridge and don't go to base. I would give you your old house back but we like it too much. :)

I love the paper chain idea. I bet you love it when you get to the countdown stage.
