This morning at the library, we straightened up the entire children's book section, putting all the books back into their proper alphabetical order. It took 4 hours it get it all done! How long will it take little hands to have them all messed up again? I'm sure all the mothers out there can answer that question.

This evening we met with a lady whose husband had deployed clear back last February. Several months ago when we called her, she said she was in California. So we thought she would stay there the entire duration of the deployment. Just a few days ago we learned that she has school aged children so she had been back in town since August. We gave her a phone call and arranged a visit and was able to meet her.We had a nice visit, she seems to be handling the deployment pretty well.
