First off, we have had a really hard time finding out what Brayden wants to be for Halloween this year. Earlier this week, as we were walking through Harmon's, Brayden spotted an Army costume. He got so excited by it. He said that he could be a soldier just like Aunt Kira. As soon as Craig got home from work, we walked back over and bought it.
Well, today is Kira's last day to really spend with the family before we drop her off. Tomorrow she flies off to Fort Sill, Oklahoma to begin Basic Training. I couldn't help bringing Brayden over in his new costume to get a few pictures with Kira. They look so good!
I couldn't imagine leaving my husband for ten weeks. Travis has been so incredible to support and love her over the past two years that they have been married.
Everyone was pretty emotional, but my mom really seemed to have a hard time holding back tears.
Unfortunately, I was going through some really rough morning sickness today. I would have loved to be more supported and focused on her, but I was struggling today. Kira was so sweet to me. I can't wait to see her again at Christmas.
Kira was great to make sure she got a picture with everyone.
It was fun to have Grandma Furse there. I wonder how many family members she has kissed good-bye as they head off to the military. I know that my Grandpa was a war veteran for both WWII and Vietnam so my Grandma knows what it's like to wait for your soldier to come home.
All too soon it was time for Kira to leave. Most of the family went with to spend some time with her at the hotel, but Baby Ella wasn't cooperating, so we went home. I can't wait to hear from her so I can start sending her letters. Good luck, Kira! We love you.
