Time for "see you later"s

Hi all,
Just wanted everyone to know that I will be deployed soon and so it is time again for "see you later"s to be said. I won't say "goodbye", because I hope to see you all later as soon as possible when I return. In the meantime, I expect people to start blogging here again regularly so that I can stay in touch with all of Austin's happenings. And please update pictures on your respective websites - y'all know how much I'm gonna miss the kiddos growing up over the next 15 months!
FYI, I will be in Austin during the 1st week of March, but I won't have much time. However, I would really love to meet all of you before I go. So if possible, let's try to meet. Just one request... no frowns, no tears... I need happy smiling faces from whom I can draw my strength. I hope to see you all soon!
