The kids are doing great.........they just went back overseas after a couple of weeks in GA with their baby.:flag: Melanie says their TOD is being shortened by three months, they should be home in September instead of December But I know better than to pin my hopes on that---the Army has been known to change its mind more often than people change clothes, and of course if the situation deteriorates over there, all bets are off. So we'll hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst. Thanks to all who've posted here!
