RE: REPLY:Miss!

Hey - you didn't take a shot! Silly goose!

I hope you don't yell at your brother too much. I hope you give him hugs and kisses and tell him that you love him, too. It's important to let the people you love know that you love them. That's why Daddy and I tell you every day that we love you. Because you are very special to us. And Balen is very special to us as well. You guys are the most important people in our lives!

I wrote your next letter...are you figuring out the clues I've sent you?

Thanks for the hugs and kisses! I miss you, Sweet Pea. I sure am glad that you are a smart girl, so that you can email me and tell me about your day. I like that. It's almost lunch time for me - my day is going pretty good so far. There's a lot of work going on, of course - like always. We've got several projects actually starting construction this week - one is concrete work, one is a new fence, one is painting a building, and two are for constructing shelters to provide shade. That's some exciting stuff around here! Did you know that all the construction stuff that goes on in my section is worth over $8,000,000? That's a lot of money, huh? If you compare that to our house, it's like our house 20 times. Twenty houses! And that doesn't count the non-construction work that we do - there is another couple million dollars in what we call service contracts and BPAs. So you can see why I'm so busy...

Well, time to get some food. I'm really tired of the DFAC (we say that word "Dee-FACK," it means Dining Facility and that's where we go to get food). But that's all we've got...I can't wait to have some good food from home!

I love you, Little Punk!
Love,
Mommy
