The end of the month

I am happy that the end of August is here, but sad that it meant that Robert was leaving again.
We had a very busy day getting all the last minute things done for his trip to the airport.
The girls are on an early out schedule because of teacher conferences this week, so that worked in our favor.
We got the girls early and Robert was in his uniform. That triggered the worst crying fest for the girls. They knew that meant he was leaving. We took him straight to the airport from school and it was really hard to let him leave. He was sad to be leaving. Our 2 weeks wasn't eventful, but it was time together and they were really needing that and to have it be over so fast was hard.

We had a fun beach day, ate shaved ice, did Teddy's burger, had pineapple ice cream at the Dole Plantation and did all the daily events that make up our regular grind.
It was nice to have him there doing projects for school, helping with the homework spelling tests and just having someone to hang out with.
We are very lucky that the end is in sight. He SHOULD be home for Halloween!
That is great news for the girls because we were counting down to Christmas.
To have him home for Halloween and Thanksgiving.....WOW!
Pray for his safe travels and safe return!
We really need this tour to over soon!
