rob leaving, maybe not


We had a great time when Rob was home, just playing and doing nothing. But, if you know us you know that we make plans and then they're changed. Rob was set to leave Sunday when he woke up that morning with a yucky rash. Somehow he was bitten by something (we still aren't sure what it was) that turned into something nasty. We wanted to be careful sending him overseas like that, so we spent 2 hours Sunday morning, his last morning, in the clinic.


About 4 pm we took him to the airport for his 6 pm flight because we noticed there were alot of delays.

When we got inside we met trouble. Lots of time to wait with nothing for kids to do. When sitting on the floor became too much to bear, they would walk up the stairs and ride the escalator down. After doing this 15 times with them, I watched from the bottom. Not kidding, they must have done this for an hour at least!

All that time was worth the wait! Rob's flight was cancelled and we had another night with him. He ended up leaving out of Birmingham with us the next day. We left for Texas and he went back to Iraq.
