Finally got to see a few more pictures of Steve and what the beautiful country of Afghanistan looks like...
I have been very lucky while Steve is gone and get to skype with him almost everyday. Because we are 8 and a half hours behind(yes... Afghanistan is so backwards they are working on the half hour), when Steve gets off of work it is around noon here. I love hearing from him everyday so much, we plan our day around his calls. The kids and I will either do something early and be home by lunch or wait until his call and then leave after. I am not too sure how it will all work out once school starts but I am sure we will figure something out.
As for Steve, he sounds like he is doing well. He has been staying busy most days and extremely boring on the other ones. He is required to be at work at 8am and stay until 8pm- 7 days a week. Fridays are the days he does not have to be to work until 1pm so he normally will spend his time walking the Bazaar. Unfourtunalty for him, this month is Ramadan so the whole town shuts down during the day to reflect on their own individual faith, fast, pray, and spend with their families (sleep too, I am sure).
Having the job he has, he is able to leave base and make deliveries. Here are a few pictures are of him out and around town...
Him stating point of a dismounted foot patrol in Eastern Afghanistan.
Rough country.

This is near the ISAF soccer field. He saw a 'large' body of water and had to take a picture of it.
Mountians
Typical Kabul side street. Most people are selling whatever they can grow or steal from somewhere else.
This is in downtown Kabul, note the lack of any rhyme or reason to the traffic flow or pedestrian traffic. It's a tough environment to operate securly in.
