Time to go...

Jules! Thanks for setting up this blog for me. Hopefully I will be able to write things you will all find interesting. Please feel free to comment and make this fun for everyone.

I will be leaving soon -- most likely I'll be gone before next Sunday. What's on my mind? What do I worry about? Packing...and being able to carry all the stuff I pack! I've got an infinite ammount of 'honey-do's' too...I'm not too worried about being in Afghanistan but I worry more about how the kids will do when I'm gone. Joshua will be fine I'm sure. He won't ever remember the experience. Of course, it's a different story for Kerrigan and Lily. I can't imagine how many times Lily will say, "Where's Daddy?" since she already does it while I'm sitting in the room with her now! Hopefully our plan to use scype to do video calls with the kids will help. And then I really feel for Leigh Anne. She'll have all the work to do here on her own. Of course, we do have about the best possible situation here with Jimmy and Lisa just down the street to be good company and provide support.

The toughest thing is being separated from Leigh Anne and the kids. No question. I'm really going to miss them.
Tomorrow I'll be packing up -- does anybody have an ACU green toothbrush?

Julie's new hardware

I'll never get through airport security smoothly again... :)

Welcome to Craig's Blog....

Welcome! We are just going to see how this works, try it out and see if we like it. Hopefully, it will help keep everyone informed on the whereabouts and happenings of Craig in Afghanistan. If you have a letter or info about Craig that you want to add to the blog, just email Julie...and she will make sure it gets posted. In the meantime....isn't Kerrigan cute?
