New Pics from Afghanistan...

Hey guys...since Jeff has a hard time loading pics on here, I thought I would share some of the new ones with you. Jeff is doing really well. I just talked to him today and he called to thank me for a box I sent...I was surprised since I just mailed the box a week ago today! So mail might be getting a little faster for him. I'm sure once the holidays approach, it might take longer, but we will see. Here are some new pics...I will do my best to narrate for Jeff!



This is the girl's school in Sha Joy...they guys were helping to hand out school supplies to the children.
Sunrise over Qulat

More of Qulat


This is Wood, Jeff's buddy, pulling security

Jeff is all his gear..."sweating his ass off" as he said!

This is Scout, the PRT's new puppy...after seeing the pics, our nephew Eric asked my sister if Jeff could bring Scout home with him!


Another pic of Scout...he looks like he is wearing one white sock!




The PRT dogs...Tina (the big one) and Scout (the puppy)


Jeff and Wood

This is Alexander the Great's castle...you can see it from Jeff's FOB

Hope that everyone liked the pics...there are a ton more and I will post some more in a few days. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers...Jeff and I appreciate it!

Thanks for posting the pics on here hun. And you did a fine job of narrating. You are the best wife ever. Thanks for taking good care of me while I am away. Love you.

Dear Jeff and Shelly:

It's really great to be able to "see" where you are, Jeff (Shelly knows that we all love to get any news from you, anytime).It really makes me feel connected to you in a small way - being able to see that handsome smiling face of yours ! I bet Scout has become a real pal for you - he's is just as cute as he can be, Jeff. I'm sure it's good to have a distraction from all the other serious things you must deal with every day. Anyway, thanks for sending the pictures, Shelly.... My love to you both....
