Since I had a full week off from the hospital while Kenta only took a couple days off, I hit the road for Missouri to visit Kenta's sister Emi for three days. Emi moved to Missouri in June 2007 to be with her husband who was stationed there with the army. They live among the Ozark Mountains and a lot of military training camps... but not much else. Kailie joined their family in the end of April. Sadly Jeff had to leave for a SIXTEEN MONTH tour of Iraq in the end of June. Emi has been doing a great job coping with being both a new mother and an army wife in the true sense; however she's had a hard time getting many of the projects for their new house done. So we worked on a few things around the house, made some curtains, made a color coordinating quilt, did some shopping in the closest sizable town (70 miles away), threw a baby shower, and (most importantly) took care of Kailie. Here are a few samples of our work:

That's so great that you were able to visit Emi. I'm sure she loved it and appreciated all the help! The curtains and quilt look great and reminds me of the amazing project you and your mom helped me with. I couldn't have done it without you and think of you everytime I see it! I'm glad you're having fun.
beautiful quilt! Cute niece! Looks like you are having a good time. It's great to see pictures of you guys and to see that you are getting to know your new digs. We miss you, too!
