Daddy is Deploying...

He'll be leaving for Qatar at the end of the year for 

a 6 month deployment.

While all the girls here are sad, Dad is glad, 

proud to serve God and Country. 

and he jokes to help us feel better that it's okay because...

"I need to refill my man meter." 

....I think he is right, he puts up with a lot of 

prettiness around here!
