Saying Good-Bye to Daddy

Mitch left for Ft. Gordon on Sunday and I tried to get some pictures of him with the boys before he left. It didn't work very well, seeing as how he hates to have his picture taken. I did manage to get a picture of him and some of the boys. So I did up this scrapbook page to put them together. I took the photo of the boys at the airport while Mitch was checking his baggage in and finding out his gate. After that we went upstairs to McDonald's for breakfast. Nothing like burgers and chicken nuggets for breakfast .. LOL I took the picture of Mitch while he was walking back to the table upstairs. For this layout I used Dea Spina's Bejeweled Nigtht kit. The page was submitted for the Ad Challenge at Digitals.
The journaling reads:

August 5, 2007 --- Frankfurt International Airport, Frankfurt Germany
Daddy left for school on Sunday, August 5th and we had to take him to the airport. It was a rough day for all of us. Going to bed the night before was a challenge; many tears were shed. BJ didn't want to sleep, he wanted to go on the airplane with Daddy. It was hard to explain to you all why he had to leave the next morning. This is the first extended separation that you boys are really old enough to understand. Sunday morning we got up at 5am to leave for the airport. It was a nice drive, but a long one at that hour. You all behaved remakably well. At the airport you were kind of crazy, but it was understandable. After a breakfast of McDonalds burgers, nuggetts and fries it was time to say good-bye to Daddy. Instead of saying good-bye at the gate he walked us back to the car and we said good-bye there. 14 weeks is a long time to be apart, but we can do it.
