Cousins

We were able to get all the cousins together for one last picture session before we are all separated by many many miles! Getting everyone to look and smile at the same time is quite the challenge! At least they are all in the same picture. So glad that the girls and I were able to come to say goodbye to my brother and his family! I have had too many goodbyes this year and it doesn't get easier. Excited they get to go on this new journey though!
It has almost been a month since Zachary left. We are still able to email everyday and I am so thankful for that. He is doing okay but missing his girls like crazy! His days pretty much consist of working 12 hours, eating, watching part of a movie and then going to bed, and repeating it the next day. He is very much looking forward to when they port so he can visit the country a little and have a break from his daily routine. We are desperately hoping that he has a chance to skype while in port too. We miss his face and I really want to hear his voice!
The girls and I are home in Redding for a few days visiting family! We are trying to squeeze in as much time as we can with our friends and family before we head back home!
