Grandpa is in Afghanistan





A little over a week ago was Richard's dad's birthday. He is a doctor for the Navy and was recently deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan. For his birthday everyone decided to write him a nice letter and we spent some time taking pictures which I printed out and put in the envelope. These are some of those picts.

We are told that his "hospital" and dwellings are a little more primitive than he is used to. I wish we had some pictures of him to share but he doesn't really have internet access to send them to us. We recently heard from his wife that he is doing well and she said that sometimes as a doctor he has had to help heal some children there in Kandahar. That part made me sad but also happy that he is there to help them.

that picture of Joe and Rachel is the first real close-up one I've seen of her! She's such a cutie!
