Yesterday was pretty tough. You can tell by the look on Kyle's face it was going to be hard for him to say his goodbye's. The last 6 months have at times gone by so slow, and yet so quickly. I'd say that this day went by all to quickly. As Dan prepared for his next 15 weeks, the kids all gathered round to chat, sit and soak him up, and talk about old times in the house. This is supposed to be such a HAPPY time, and it is, don't get me wrong. It's just not a normal thing for the kids to see Daddy leave.
I am so comforted in knowing that he is so excited about his new Career. This smile says it all!
We have been stuck like glue the last 6 months, and how ironic that they were some of the best months of our marriage. We can now laugh about not having one fight, THE ENTIRE TIME of unemployment! I will miss him terribly. You hear that Danny, I miss you already! You thought I'd be partying it up once you left, no way man, there is so so much to do.
Saying good bye to Kyle...poor boy, he's going to really miss his dad.
One last group hug....
I know it was hard for you to go and leave me (us) here to deal with the move, but you know that I am more than capable (that's why you love me). No complaints on this end! We are so excited for you and will miss you each day....Looking forward to seeing you in our new hometown, how sweet that will be! I know you love us, you've worked really really hard for us, and we appreciate ALL that you do, yesterday, today and tomorrow. You are my dragon slayer!! GO ANGELS!!!
Love you babe!
*EDITED FOR DAN* You are not fat, it is the air puffing your shirt, sorry the pictures make you look larger than you are! I love you though :)

I am sorry Kyle, such a sad face. I can cry looking at your picture here. Think of all you will be able to learn about your new home and you can teach your Dad!
Dan, you and Carrie definitely look alike in this picture of you in the car.
Good luck Dan.....and family.
Erin, You are such a great wife and mom! I am SO impressed you are in charge of moving all by yourself You ROCK!
Those pictures make me look fat! I dont have a belly, its the shirt hanging down. This was really sad for me as well. I cant even imagine leaving for 6 months at a time like in the olden days. The thoughtful words and pictures in this blog bring tears to my eyes because I can remember how I felt. I love my wife and my family. This will go by fast.
What a happy sad scene! Your baby looks so lost without Dan. And I understand the shirt thing, Mike has some shirts that do that too. Not Flattering!~
