Last time the hubby got deployed I made a big countdown calendar to hang on the door to help the boys get a sense of how long Daddy would be gone. Noah turned 4 while he was away, and Jonah was just a year and a half. I added all the special events so that they could have things to look forward to and make the time pass.
Then when the hubby got sent to FLETC in 2010 for four months I made another one. It's sort of become a tradition when he leaves for more than two months at a time.
I finally got the calendar made for this tour and man-oh-man is it big. The biggest I've ever made.
It's three posterboards tall and had to be hung on the wall instead of the door this time. We don't have a return date this far out, just a projected homecoming day. I went about a week and a half past that and I'm praying I don't have to add more paper.
