I think the key is to give them something to look forward to. One being a probable trip to Alaska over the summer to see some family we have in Fairbanks and also the promise of another trip to DL when DH gets home...they are in great spirits about the whole thing, but you know as well as I do that could all change the minute he leaves!
Don't know the ages of your kids but when my hubby was doing over the road truck driving we sent a stuffed monkey of Coltons along for the ride and he sent pics of the monkey where Dad was... a little like Duffy's travels... The monkey at dinner... The monkey sitting on the dash board etc .. made him feel like a piece of him was with his Daddy far away!
