I wanted to make sure everyone has Ross' timeline for deployment. Last night we drove him to Ft. Riley which is where he will be leaving from. Today and tomorrow he is going through the last minute things before his unit leaves. They should get on a plane Saturday or Sunday. When they arrive in Kuwait they will have about one month of training before going into Iraq. He will have plenty of access to the internet when he gets to Iraq, but not much in Kuwait. You can send him a note at ross.kilburn@us.army.mil I don't yet have an address for him. I'm not sure when I will, but I'll pass it on to you when I get it.
The kids and I are fine. Gabriella has been more emotional than the boys about missing her Daddy, but they all miss him in their own way. We try to stay busy, but not too busy. We have a great support system here.
Love,
Christy
