Gone for Awhile :(

Well, Ryan left for a very LONG Air Force training a few days ago.  He will be gone for two months!! He was also gone for his 30th birthday. So, we were sure to celebrate before he left. 

The kids made Ryan some very special birthday cards!! I can't believe I don't have pictures of the finished products!! They worked so hard :)

 We went out to dinner!! And I had an array of very special treats at home for us to sample :) For his birthday we got Ryan new tires on his bike!! And he is getting new glasses very soon!!

 The kids loved trying each one of the delicious cakes!

 Ryan had to leave early in the morning, so he sat and cuddled with the kids on the couch for a bit before he had to go:( I am pretty sure the kids DO NOT grasp the concept of two months yet- boo hoo:(

 And I had to snap one picture of Ry in his "packed to the brim" car before he left.  As one last birthday present, I put together a travel kit for him full of breakfast bars, treats, drinks, beef jerky, a McDonald gift card and more!! I didn't want this guy falling asleep at the wheel... He'll have enough snacks and treats to drive across the country if he needed to :)

 Well, it pretty much stinks to think about the kids and I being alone for that long, but we are so proud of Ryan and are so thankful for all of his hard work!! Good Luck at SOS, Ry!!!
