Our last weekend together before Nick left for Afghanistan was a great one. He had a 3 1/2 day weekend, so Saturday we were able to find a baby sitter and got on one last date.
Since he would be missing Father's Day, we celebrated on Sunday and I made him a German chocolate cake and cake balls. He made super yummy ribs and bakes potatoes for dinner.
Tuesday they had breakfast together one more time, something William will miss very much I am sure.
It was turning into a very hot day, so we went out and bought a kiddie pool for William, and Nick taught him how to squeeze one of his toys to squirt me with water.
However, most of his time was spent throwing dirt and grass into the pool.
That afternoon we packed all his gear into the car and headed on post to say goodbye. They spent a little more time playing together, and making memories.
Eventually it was time for us to leave though, so with one last picture of William and his Papa, some hugs, kisses and maybe a few tears, we said goodbye.
Nick emailed me on Thursday morning letting me know that they arrived in a small country near Russia safely, and have already finished the training they were sent there to do.
