I hit the ground running after returning yesterday. It was nice to see familiar faces and be greeted back to camp.
The two weeks that I was away were apparent flying in yesterday. There was considerably more vegetation growing and the green fields were beautiful from the air. Even the little patch of what I had been told was lawn outside of my house is now green grass. There was also evidence of the flooding that occurred in central Afghanistan during this past week. From the air, I could see many low-lying areas still under water and many roads washed out.
Annie: I saw the moon again this morning for the first time since it was so bright a month ago.

We saw the moon too, Daddy-it was so full and beautiful and shining so bright--it must have been because you were looking at it too and sending your love.
We saw it too, Daddy. It was full, and bright, and so beautiful. It has been so long since we have seen it too, but it must have come out to send your love and take ours back to you.
