adorable afghani

Jen posting for Drew-
How adorable is this Afghani boy?
I guess I can kind of figure out what it'll look like when Dr. Drew holds our son
(5 months when he left- 1 yr. old when he returns)

*can't wait

Mr. Postman

There's great joy in receiving packages from home.

My family, friends, and coworkers have been sending awesome ones.

Our boring break room before my sister's church group sent 4 boxes our way.

one of my buddies here happy to score on some goods

this soldier is known to have a sweet tooth

I'm really impressed by this soldier. He made something of himself having come from a bad neighborhood and bad circumstances. Great guy.

All of the cut-up info. off the boxes
it's a preventative measure so the Taliban can't hunt anyone down!

Thanks to everyone who thinks of us and prays for us. We really appreciate your love and care.
