Beauty Here and There

I have pictures from Iraq! I was so excited to finally get to see Justin's surroundings. The sunsets are beautiful! I have an example posted below. I'm also including a few random cute shots of Isaac.
Isaac and his friend Daniel at Mrs. Lynn's (his babysitter's) house. Isaac and Daniel really enjoy each other's company!


As I cleaned out the car yesterday, Isaac watched from his Excersaucer in the garage. Isaac really enjoyed getting to play in the sun and being near me as I worked.


Isaac is wearing the onezie my brother had made for him for Christmas. It says, "I Love My Uncle Z." This is what Isaac will call him one day. Not until I began uploading pictures did I notice that Isaac looks as if he's been drinking. He was giggling as I took his picture.


O.k., so this particular example of Iraq isn't exactly beautiful. Justin moved his bed into his office, as shown above. The office is a good bit more spacious than I realized. The conveniences of internet, a microwave, and a coffee pot make the office a not-so-bad place to be staying.



Justin looks as if he's hard at work at his desk. He really has so much more space than he had in his office at Ft. Hood.




Here's a shot of Justin in another corner of his office. Around him is a sort-of living room set up, with a chair, sofa, and loveseat. I'm not sure who the guy is standing in the doorway.


I'm not sure what Justin is standing on, but this is an overhead shot of sorts of the living quarters for many of the soldiers. Justin described the quarters as being like empty 18-wheeler trailers.


What a beautiful sunset! It's stunning to look over the expanse of desert to see the sun meet the horizon...God is such an artist!

Loved the pictures. Isaac is so very cute, can't wait until Friday. Also, glad to see Justin's living quarters as well as the other soldiers. Justin was right, the sunset is beautiful. See you Friday.

Loved the pictures of Isaac. Looks like Justin has a nice place to stay in while he is in Iraq.
