- These are so great! Their girls are getting so big! And Gunner is so cute. I bet their time together is so treasured. My sister, Sam, is due with her first (a little girl) around Thanksgiving. Her husband is a Marine and deploys one month before she’s due. Fortunately he’ll be back in about six months, but that time with him away is going to be so hard. I’m sure it always is.October 5, 2011 – 3:21 pm
