In August, we said "good-bye" to Daddy and sent him on his way to Afghanistan where he will be working as a radiologist at the NATO base in Kandahar until April 2015. Here are some pictures of the farewell at the airport, including a pose with the friendly black bear statue. Though Thomas still doesn't have a good grasp of time, he knows that his Daddy will miss Halloween, his 5th birthday in November, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mommy and Daddy's birthdays in February and March, and the first day of spring. "That's a long time," Mommy. My friend at Old Salem reminded me that this is a very historical situation: husband leaves wife on farm to go off to war. I guess this is just more practice for me as a "living historian."
