. His absence will leave a big, gaping hole in our household. I'm sure the hole will fill some in time as we all become busy with activities and such, but won't be completely repaired until he returns. We have a craft fair coming up so that the unit kids can make deployment related crafts (i.e. daddy dolls, counting chains etc.) prior to the deployment. Do any of you have good ideas for deployment crafts that can be made by young children?

I'm the FRG leader for our company, so I'm staying busy with putting together events for the coming months and keeping in contact with the soldiers' family members. I'm trying not to think too much about the deployment; however, the reality of it hit me when DH brought home his orders last night . His absence will leave a big, gaping hole in our household. I'm sure the hole will fill some in time as we all become busy with activities and such, but won't be completely repaired until he returns.

I think it is a much better option for him than a civilian job and he is really excited. |

I'm in Germany right now, in Landstuhl. (if anyone is close, I'll be here until Tue a.m.) I'm in the medical hold building, Rm #101. I'm going home on Tue, if the Dr. thinks I'm not bad enough to go to a burn center in TX. |

Which will reach dh first? Which will make his DI laugh the hardest? Or will it be the sheer volume of cough drops (okay at Ft. Jackson) that sprains their laugh muscles? |
