Help
Dh is coming home next month for a short visit! I am so excited. I thought the girls would be, too, but Lauren has acted horrible today. Brooke is happy since we are going to celebrate her birthday while he is home. And the best part, this won't effect his leave at Christmas!
I just wanted to share my great news with you all!
Great News!

That is great, Carla! I know it made a big difference for our family when Michael got a few weeks home from Iraq. And I know what it will mean to yours as well.
Take lots and lots of pictures

That is so wonderful Carla! I'm so happy for all of you. I'm sure Lauren will come around. Maybe she feels (un-warrented I'm sure) like she will be slighted since it will be Brooke's birthday. Or maybe, she just is having an off day.

How wonderful for you and your family that he is able to come for a visit. That is so great. I'm sure Lauren will be happy once she reealizes how much she misses him.

Oooh Carla - I'm so excited for you! (Thank your husband for all that's he's doing when he's home ... if you have time ... and thank you too for your wonderful service to America!!).When my husband was away and got to come home, my daughter would do the same thing ... I couldn't figure it out for the longest time, and then one day she had a little breakdown and said that she got depressed thinking about her daddy coming home because she knew that he was only here for a certain amount of days before she had to say goodbye again. Ooooh, it broke my heart! But we talked about it and I told her that making the most of his time with us was so much more important than thinking about how sad we'd be when he left, because then we'd miss out on lots of wonderful fun times while he was here.
I'm not saying that's what Lauren's going through. But who knows what they're thinking. Maybe if you just ask her in a little one-on-one what is wrong?
Have a truly wonderful time while he's home and take lots of photos ... but most importantly share every moment that you can!! Know you will - no need to be reminded to do that, right?!?!
Thanks for all that your family do for us!!

Carole, you may be onto something! She did this before he left, too. Lauren has a school physical tomorrow and our dr. used to be in the Air Force and her dh is an Army Reservist, so she may be able to give me some advice or suggestions.

I'm so happy for your wonderful news! Especially that he will still have his leave at Christmas.
You need to take a vacation too, and concentrate on him while he's home.

What wonderful news Carla! Lauren will come around; she is probably just worried that he will come home and have to leave right away again...kids think that way, so the excitement of him being there is put to the side. She will be okay as soon as she sees her Daddy. God Bless!

YAY!! I hope you all have a wonderful time together. My friend's DH just came home last night for 15 days. The parting is hard, but the time together is worth it.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Thank you all so much! Our entire family is thrilled since we weren't expecting him until Christmas. He's only home for 5 days, but I'll take it! The girls are going to make signs for the airport and I'll have my camera ready!

so happy for you all Carla, can't imagine how excited you must be. Lauren will come round in a day or two, just give her lots of extra hugs and maybe a little chat if the opportunity presents itself. Its an awful long time in a childs life for a parent to be away and she has probably built herself a nice little protective wall that she will have to chip away at earlier than she had planned for - the the knowledge that she will have to build it up again when he goes back.
Do consider planning some time for just the 2 of you while he is back - even if its only a lunch or dinner date - you need to be a couple as well as a family.
