Blake's Paper Chain Countdown!!

Ryan is gone for the next month at Air Force Commissioned Officer's Training. It has been really hard on Blake and he doesn't understand what I mean when I say daddy is going to be gone for a long time so we decided to make a paper chain so we can count down days until he gets home.
Blake had a lot of fun making the chain but when it was done he asked if he could rip them all so daddy would come home. It was so sweet and sad. This might take a few days for him to understand but I believe he will soon understand what the chain is for!!

Random pictures through the past few months!!
