It'll be hard (and expect him to not want to go to Seth when he gets back...though sometimes the kiddos run back). <br /><br />Get him to read books at the base library onto tape for free (it's through "United through Reading"). We also got the kids Daddy Dolls that they slept with and carried around. We plan to get another one for Victoria and the new baby when he deploys again. They are really tough and can go through tons of washings. The webcam was also great (things are usually twice as expensive over there..just something to know). We were able to talk through Yahoo IM, but lots of my friends use Skype.<br /><br />Remember to take it one day at a time. You CAN do this! You'll be in my prayers.EngineerHousehold6https://www.blogger.com/profile/11105435089773290790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019969551547178330.post-33577264860449108582010-01-04T11:07:21.664-05:002010-01-04T11:07:21.664-05:00I know we don't know each other, but my husban...I know we don't know each other, but my husband is coming home in about 5 weeks from a 12 month deployment to Afghanistan. Our son was 5 months old when he left, so I know what you are going through! My husband Robert, made a video dvd of himself reading stories to Eli our son. Eli watches it almost every night before bed. Eli recognized his Daddy on R&R and it had to be the DVD, so that is maybe an idea for you guys. Just take it 1 day at a time.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730926429447577181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019969551547178330.post-24177903830407485782010-01-04T10:43:55.878-05:002010-01-04T10:43:55.878-05:00I feel for you.

Brad have been through 3 of them now.<br />It's probably one of the hardest things a family can go through but take peace in knowing that it does get easier as the months go by. You start to think "hey I CAN do this!" "I'm gonna be ok afterall!" Then before you know it- it's countdown time. <br />How long will he be gone for? Do you know where he was going?<br />All 3 of Brad's were 7 months. Blah! I'm so anxious to leave Germany but then Brad keeps saying "why are you rushing? It only means I go back to deployments."<br />I'm here if you ever need to vent! :)Miles Makes 3!https://www.blogger.com/profile/03537510970829659388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019969551547178330.post-26357562476691642542010-01-04T07:40:55.780-05:002010-01-04T07:40:55.780-05:00Im praying for you, I know it will be hard but it ...Im praying for you, I know it will be hard but it will make y'all stronger and there is no doubt in my mind that little Caleb will remember daddy...just constantly point at pics of Seth...it will all be ok...I know you are scared worried most of all sad but I also know you are strong and a determined woman...maybe try setting deployment goals...I know a lot of women who do that :-) love you!Travelin Through Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025683246439151373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019969551547178330.post-19737569759942079082010-01-04T07:21:02.444-05:002010-01-04T07:21:02.444-05:00Now I'm crying along with you =( I wish I cou...Now I'm crying along with you =( I wish I could do something to help you out.
