Albert News
Albert finally has a date for when he is leaving. He is leaving the 20th. So looks like next Thursday. We are as ready as one can be. It looks as if he will be coming back sometime in the first part of February. I am looking forward to him coming home. I know he hasn't left yet but you know at least then he is back and won't have to leave for a while then. I have known for some time now that he was going to be gone for christmas but it doesn't make it any easier. It is turning out the last few years for christmas just wasn't good for us. christmas 2005 Albert was in Iraq. Christmas 2006 we were just getting here and we were still in temporary housing so we didn't even really have a christmas tree. Then this christmas Albert will be in Kuwait. So christmas time just isn't turning out to be our time. Oh well he should be here next christmas though. The last time he was gone we had santa deliver our presents after Albert came home. I don't think we are going to wait this time. Albert will be gone longer this time so we aren't waiting I don't think. Anyway Albert is about packed. He has a few more little things to pack but mostly he is packed. He has out processing stuff to do on Friday. He works on Sunday then he leaves on Thursday.

I AGREE THAT YOU SHOULD NOT TRY TO HOLD CHRISTMAS. THE KIDS NEED TO KEEP TO A "NORMAL" ROUTINE. PERHAPS JUST TO KEEP A GIFT EACH TO OPEN WHEN DAD COMES HOME WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE NEED TO CELEBRATE WITH HIM. I THINK HE WOULD FEEL BETTER KNOWING THAT ON CHRISTMAS THEY ARE HAPPILY OPENING GIFTS AND THINKING OF HIM. THEN TO BE SAD AND MISSING HIM AND MISSING CHRISTMAS. IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN IT PROBABLY FEELS LIKE CHRISTMAS WHEN HE RETURNS FROM A TIME AWAY, JUST TO HAVE HIM HOME NOT BECAUSE OF GIFTS. OF COURSE YOU AS A FAMILY NEED TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU, THIS IS JUST MY OPINION. TAKE CARE AND ENJOY YOUR LAST WEEK TOGETHER. LOVE TO ALL. TAKE GOOD CARE BERT!
