Love you!

Pictures from Colorado!




Found these and thought they were nice. :) I miss it out west! I can't wait until the trip we take before I go to college. What kind of wildlife (if any) do you see in Afghanistan?

Me and my interpreter


This is my buddy Aslam. He is my "terp" as they are called for short. Aslam's a good guy and is by my side most of the time.

Mothers Day!

I went Kayaking this afternoon on the Hudson, it was awesome. Here are some cool pics:



And here is the amazing bird house Kraig made Mom for Mothers Day. He used the extra paint from our house and the shingles are spray painted pieces of sand paper he stapled to the roof. Tonight I painted the windows and bushes on. We can't wait to get it up in the yard!


Soviet Era Hardware


Got to hang out on a Soviet T-62 tank today. Back in the day, we were concerned about a massive force-on-force battle against these bad boys in Germany's Fulda Gap. Today...well...not so much. Dorky Physics professors get to climb on them...

Lion


Happy (real) Fathers Day!

It's done!

I am so glad it is done. They did such a good job on it.



The new Academy under construction











Mostly new academy pics with some more general pics from the surrounding area. It's going to be an incredible campus when it's done. Nothing like it ANYWHERE else in Afghanistan.

More pics from road trips











Lots of different pictures from the trip to/from the new location but note the young girls (in black and white) that are going to/from school. A great-news story for this country!!

Our Green Whirlpool


 We love it, even if we might get an extraterrestrial visit one of these days. 

And I found this picture too, Mom's pretty strong!
