Matt Update



Matt is doing well and sends you all his love. He has been doing some unexpected traveling over the past few weeks. He is now back where he is suppose to be and getting back into the same old routine. He is missing the kids and ready to come home. That is really all I can post about him without getting him in trouble.

The kids seem to be adjusting better Matt's absence. Chloe misses him terribly and asks every day if it is time for him to come home. Matt and her have such a great relationship and she misses joking and playing around with him. The other day she told me that she missed Dad's hugs the most. She looks forward to his phone calls almost everyday. Aidan spent the first part of this deployment very angry at Dad's absence. Chloe and I took the brunt of it. He just couldn't understand why his world had been turned upside down. He is now doing much better and we have our little boy back. He has turned his anger towards Dad and refuses to talk to him on the phone. Brenna seems to be oblivious to any change in her life. She does get very upset if I leave or step out of the room for a moment. She does not willingly go to other people and will only let people hold her for a minute or two before wanting to go back to Mom. I think she will have a hard time with Matt's homecoming. Since it is mainly me who takes care of her, she really doesn't want anyone else.

Before we know it he will be home with us again. This is his last deployment, EVER! Yippee!! Meanwhile the constant array of visitors to our house makes the time go by much faster. Thanks for all your love, prayers and support!
