saying goodbye to daddy

here are the last pics we took before shane left for afghanistan. =(

^ reading one last bedtime story

^ waiting in the van before they called shane to get on the buses.

^ teagan wearing shane's cover

^ trevin's turn to wear it

^ kissing baby #3 good-bye

^ time to go get on the bus. one last family photo.

^ shane and the boys

^ the buses, all lined up, getting ready to pull out. shane was on the first one. hopefully, that means he'll be on the first one back! ;)

please remember shane, our family, and so many others in the same situation when saying your prayers. =) thanks.
