Hello All

Hi Everyone!!! Me and the boys are back in Utah again. I know... I know... all this flip flopping. What can I say I am starting to get used to it. That might be good or bad. :) Tad left for Iraq on monday the 5th. He may get a small R&R halfway through the deployment other wise he will be gone for 15 months.... Right now it doesn't feel too bad, but I am used to him being gone a few weeks here and there. So ask me in a couple months how I feel about it. His job changed so he is no longer a tank platoon leader and he is stuck behind a desk:) I know that he hates it, but it makes me feel a whole lot better about him being over there. I know that no one is immune and anything can happen, but him having to stay on the base the whole time and not running missions helps. Right? I think so...
The boys are doing great. It helps having family around. I put Zach in preschool here so he gets some distraction from me and Kyler. He seems to enjoy it. He is already asking me about going today and he doesn't start until 12:30 and it is only 10. That is a good sign. If you would like to email Tad or write him a letter contact me through my email at melissacoleman2002@gmail.com and I will forward the information to you. I don't want to post his stuff just in case. They briefed us on not giving that stuff out, so now you know. I hope everyone is doing well and we would love to here from anyone....

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!
Love, Melissa and the boys
