Over the weekend we cut a hole through our kitchen into our breakfast/sun room. Here are some pics of the project. As you can see, we used to hang a mirror above the sink.
Daddy always seemed to have plenty of help, whether or not he seemed to want it!!
Cutting out the back side of the window.
We finally punched through. Check out the old fluorescent bulb that used to hang above the sink. What an eye sore!!
Finishing up the trim on the back side.
Check out Michelle's new light. She is pretty proud of her new kitchen accessory.
We decided to paint the trim on the back side white so it would match better.
I had to include a pic of my newly acquired routering skills on the window sill. I managed to finagle a brand new router out of this project. Michelle keeps on tasking me, but I don't mind if I keep getting new tools out of each deal!!
Inside a typical house in our Area of Operations. Pretty easy to straighten up each day!
Traveling around some burnt out tankers which were recently ambushed. Notice the IED hole directly off the left side of the road. 
Crossing the Tigris River was always interesting!!
He we are in the staging area right before kicking off a big mission.
Another shot of the Tigris River.
We called this the mini Grand Canyon. If you look closely, you can see little caves. These are where we found numerous hidden weapons and caches. 
Here is one of my motivated "Devil Dogs" serving as a tunnel rat and rooting out the terrorist's hidden caches.
We proudly lay out what we have found. Not bad for one day's work.
The terrain was pretty rough in some spots. Most of the green that you see is a result of the local farmers irrigating their crops. It got to be challenging navigating through the myriad of ditches and canals that watered the desert.
